The History of Raspberries ‘n Cream

The first recorded mention of raspberries ‘n cream dates all the way back to 16th century England. At that time, however, the dish was known as “red whortleberry cream.” It wasn’t until much later that the dish became known by its current name. Some believe that the name change happened because of the popularity of a 18th century nursery rhyme called “Little Miss Muffet.” In the rhyme, Little Miss Muffet eats “curds and whey” with a bowl of red raspberries.
