Hiya,
My husband's a pharmacist and into alternative therapies and the like. He
reckons that the Curry Powders might have been used to calm the stomach.
Apparently Turmeric has a calming effect on the stomach and so might so of
the other ingredients.
Its just a guess, but I suppose any info might be useful. Nice to see a
bit of Yorkshire on the list (makes me homesick :-))
By the way while we're kind of on the subject of the North, can anyone
solve a bit of bad memory for me? I can remember learning the poem the
Lambton Worm when I was a kid, and we even went to the place where the worm
came from. I can remember an old house or something, but for the life of me
cant remember where it was. Can anyone shed any light on this for me or tell
me where I can find a copy of the poem? I have no reason for this whatsoever
apart from the fact my bad memory is driving me nuts.
Thanks
Sara Donaldson on the edge in Caithness
