Junket (dessert) children, mostly due to its sweetness and ease of digestion. The same was true in the United Kingdom where, in medieval times, junket had been a food of the nobility made with cream, not milk, and flavoured with rosewater and spices as well as sugar. It started to fall from favour during the Tudor era, being replaced by syllabubs on fashionable banqueting tables and, by the 18th century, had become an everyday food sold in the streets. In the United States, junket is commonly made with a packaged mix of rennet and sweetener from a company eponymously known as Junket.
Brandy snaps soft. The whipped cream can be sweetened with brandy or vanilla. However, the name "brandy snap" has no reference to brandy, the spirit. Brandy snaps are referred to in a recipe as early as 1802. An early Victorian etymology was as follows: BRANDY-SNAPS, a small cake of gingerbread. Probably "brand"-schnap, from being burnt, not for the real or supposed presence of brandy. "Brandy Snap" is a popular sweet snack sold at the Annual Hull Fair every October. The product sold at Hull Fair has traditionally been made by Wright and Co at its Bridge End Works in Brighouse, West Yorkshire.
