I knew that almonds were an important ingredient in medieval cooking, but
I wasn’t sure why. This article
explains some of the almond’s popularity by noting that almond milk, made
from almonds, doesn’t spoil like cow’s milk does. I’ve always been a bit
baffled by the idea that ground nuts in water is like ‘milk’ but according
to this person almond milk is enough like cow’s milk that it can actually
be churned into butter. I think that must be different from what most
people mean when they talk about nut butter, but I’m not really sure.
