Re. The Box Of Delights I stumbled on someone's blogpost on how to make a posset. If you have trouble sleeping its worth a try http://hypnogoria.blogspot.com/2011/12/box-of-delights-how-to-make-posset.html

But you young folks in this generation, you don't know what a posset is. Well a posset," said the Inspector, "is a jorum of hot milk; and in that hot milk, Master Kay, you put a hegg, and you put a spoonful of treacle, and you put a grating of nutmeg, and you stir 'em well up, and you get into bed and then you take 'em down hot. And a posset like that, taken overnight will make a new man of you!
