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:
“Our treatment of both older people and children reflects the value we place on independence and autonomy. We do our best to make our children independent from birth. We leave them all alone in rooms with the lights out and tell them, “Go to sleep by yourselves.” And the old people we respect most are the ones who will fight for their independence, who would sooner starve to death than ask for help.”
—Margaret Mead (1901–1978)
