a bushel and a peck









































"a bushel and a peck" is a popular song written by frank loesser and published in 1950. the song was introduced in the broadway musical "guys and dolls", which opened at the 46th street theater on november 24, 1950. it was performed on stage by vivian blaine, who later reprised her role as miss adelaide in the 1955 film version of the play. "a bushel and a peck," however, was omitted from the film, and instead replaced by a new song, titled "pet me, poppa."

the bushel is an intermediate value between the pound and ton or tun that was introduced to england following the norman conquest. norman statutes made the london bushel part of the legal measure of english wine, ale, and grains. the assize of bread and ale credited to henry iii, , defined this bushel in terms of the wine gallon, while the assize of weights and measures usually credited to edward i or ii defined the london bushel in terms of the larger corn gallon. in either case, the bushel was reckoned to contain 64 pounds of 12 ounces of 20 pence of 32 grains.
