Curds

Soft fresh curd drained from whey; eaten warm with salt or honey.

Soft, mild fresh curd drained from whey and eaten warm with salt or honey, the day’s work of the dairy. Children and invalids eat curds for their ease of digestion; a cheesemaker’s household consumes curds as byproduct of cheesemaking. They spoil quickly in warm weather but are kept cool in cellars for days, served with bread or as a course at table.
