This week's Resolution Recipe: Lambswool.
In his 1648 poem "Twelfth Night: Or, King and Queen," poet Robert Herrick (Of "gather ye rosebuds while ye may" fame) does indeed stop off for a cup of Lambswool:
Next crown a bowl full
With gentle lamb's wool:
Add sugar, nutmeg, and ginger,
With store of ale too;
And thus ye must do
To make the wassail a swinger.
The name refers to the soft froth looking like lamb's wool )
