I came across the word syllabub for the first time just a couple of weeks ago, while reading Bee Wilson's ridiculously good Consider the Fork: A History of How We Cook and Eat, which is honestly the best book I've read all year. Right in the middle of a chapter about mixing and grinding foods was this weird word, not quite syllabus and not quite Lil Bub, but enough of each that I couldn't stop thinking about it and had to do some research.
