Lindisfarne Mead is an alcoholic beverage from Northumbria in the UK. Like other mead, Lindisfarne mead is fermented from honey. After four decades of negotiations, the company producing Lindisfarne Mead, Lindisfarne Ltd has gained permission to export its mead to the USA. US authorities had claimed Lindisfarne mead, as it contained grapes and herbs, was not mead by their definition. The product will be exported to the USA under the name Lindisfarne mede, in order to differentiate it from honey-only meads .
Famous quotes containing the word mead:
“The negative cautions of science are never popular. If the experimentalist would not commit himself, the social philosopher, the preacher, and the pedagogue tried the harder to give a short- cut answer.”
—Margaret Mead (1901–1978)
