Are you aware - of course you are - that a junket is also a kind of trip or journey; usually made my politicos for frivolous purposes but purported to be very important?

Of course. In fact it is WoD for next Tuesday. I wasn't aware of it being also the name for a sweet dish too.

When I was a kid, junket was a kind of blanc-mangy type thing - without the almond flavour. I hated it.

"Junkets" was John Keats' nickname among his poet friends, too. Because he was sweet?
