- About forty years ago milk in country places was often scarce in the spring. The people prepared a substance for taking along with porridge called "sounds". This was made by steeping "tails" (that is a sort of seeds[?] got from a corn mill after the oats was ground) with water and left to soak for about a fortnight. At the end of that time the mixture is strained and the juice called "sounds". If the sounds is boiled for about seven hours it thickens and is called "flummery."
