The term 'Curds and WHEY' is a phrase that originates from the nursery rhyme 'Little Miss Muffet'. In the rhyme, Little Miss Muffet is eating curds and WHEY, which is a type of dairy product made from coagulated milk proteins. Curds are the solid part of the milk that forms when it is heated and acidified, while WHEY is the liquid that is left over. Together, they form a traditional dish that is still enjoyed today.
