The Perils of Lemon Curd

The conversation at tea time tonight went a bit like this.

Georgina: "Was Lemon curd really dangerous in the olden days ??"

Me - a bit confused whilst eating pasta: " Lemon curd?"

Georgina: " Yes, you know the stuff that the Tudors used for building their houses and walls a long time ago"

Me - digging deep into my historical knowledge and trying to get the image of a tudor builder wiping sticky lemon curd / jam up the walls of his house much to the annoyance of his Tudor wife.: " Do you mean wattle and daub?"

Georgina: "No, it was definitely Lemon curd or something a bit like that and I think it was poisonous."

After a few more mouthfuls of food and much thinking about the construction process of days gone by, Malc said: " Do you mean Lime plaster ?".

Georgina, eyes rolling up to the ceiling in an authorative tone of an eight year old : " Daddy , I do wish you would listen properly sometimes , that's what I said at the beginning !"

This was almost as good as last nights question - "Who was God's dad?"
