Nursery rhymes may not make sense to the 21st-century child. What's the tuffet that Little Miss Muffet sat on when the first copies of the rhyme appeared in England in 1553? A chair, a stool, a plant, a stone or maybe a small animal? And what are the curds and whey she is eating? The food is our familiar cottage cheese.
