Note 226 — Chapter III · HARVEST FESTIVALS. The Thargelia, Kallynteria, Plynteria.
Reading edition
The process of primitive bread-making is fully discussed by Prof. Benndorf (Eranos Vindobensis, p. 374), to whom I am indebted for the view here expressed. In Yorkshire within my own remembrance a rather repulsive mess of corn stewed in milk with currants was always eaten on Christmas Eve before the regular feast began. It was served as soup and called frummety.
