   When the ''sounds'' was all used, the remaining seeds were used to make Flummery. These seeds were squeezed and strained through a strainer, and the liquid which resulted from the straining was boiled in a pot on a slow fire for five or ten minutes, and kept well stirred. It was then poured out on a dish and allowed to cool. Flummery was eaten with new milk and was regarded as a dainty.
