Flummery image

Flummery occurs in manuscript menus for Scottish feasts as early as the fifteenth century. The ingredients varied but the basis was always soaked cereal, the liquid from which sets to a clear jelly. This is flavoured with orange juice or rosewater and topped with cream and honey, with or without alcohol.
