JUNKET

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 560 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: JEE-JUN
JUNKET , a dish of milk curdled by rennet, served with clotted cream and flavoured with nutmeg, which is particularly associated in
England
  with Devonshire and
Cornwall
 . The word is of somewhat obscure
history
 . It appears to come through O. Fr. jonquette, a rush-
basket
 , from Lat. juncus, rush. In
Norman
  dialect this word is used of a cream cheese. The commonly accepted origin is that it refers to the rush-
basket
  on which such cream cheeses or curds were served. Juncade appears in Rabelais, and is explained by Cotgrave as " spoon-
meat
 , rose-water and
sugar
 ." Nicholas Udall (in his
translation
  of
Erasmus
 's Apophthegms, 1542) speaks of " marchepaines or wafers with other like junkerie." The word " junket " is also used for a festivity or
picnic
 .
