I believe it's an overused syllable...thus 'whipt or whipped' and in this case since the last letters are 'byb(archaic) or bub' it denotes a male syllable instead of a female syllable. [This message has been edited by Poet deVine (03-15-2002 12:42 AM).] |

I guess it is ok to answer this now. Whipt Syllabub Eggnog with wine added, popular in Colonial America and before. 1 pint cream 1 cup dry white wine or sack 1 lemon 3 egg whites sugar nutmeg Combine cream, wine and egg whites. Add sugar to taste, about 1 Tbsp. Grate in nutmeg and the skin of the lemon (grated). Using a whisk, whip the ingredients until they froth. Skim and discard froth. Pour into glasses to serve. Common folk, not having the means to buy lemons and wine, would use cider and milk, adding cream over the top of their syllabub. found this here:http://www.geocities.com/Yosemite/Geyser/8607/clubs.htm There is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar. |

Ya know, I don't think the question is so much what does the term mean, but where on God's green earth did you find it?? Bec  "Poetry and Hums aren't things which you get, they're things which get you. And all you can do is to go where they can find you." |

Alas, she has been shrouded in darkness too long... We have savored in the oils of secrecy (not unlike gravy) long enough... LET THE WORLD KNOW! (spotlight) (curtain closes) (standing ovation) |

Yes, Tis time I think to allow the sun into the mouldering castle. Even the M'Leods, The M'Kenzies, the M'Phersons, the M'Cartneys, the M'donalds, The M'Kinnons, the M'lellans, the M'Kays, the Macbeths and the Macduffs would agree. J |
