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:
“If I were to be taken hostage, I would not plead for release nor would I want my government to be blackmailed. I think certain government officials, industrialists and celebrated persons should make it clear they are prepared to be sacrificed if taken hostage. If that were done, what gain would there be for terrorists in taking hostages?”
—Margaret Mead (1901–1978)
