Cow’s Udders Aside: Bitter Buttercups
A couple weeks back, in “Myth and Folklore: Buttercups”, I wrote of dairy farmers rubbing the flowers on cow’s udders to help make their milk rich with golden cream. I wrote of beggars in Europe who once rubbed buttercup juice on their skin to raise sores, which would in turn encourage passersby to be more generous with their alms.
