Changed my mind. The rhyme and the food should have different pages. Matthew Mattic 09:34, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Origin of "nine days old"

As I recall from a visit to the Anne Hathaway House near Stratford-upon-Avon, England, it was common in the middle ages to keep a pot of food in a home's fire for several days on end, serving it to family and visitors alike. It seems likely to me that this is the origin of the phrase "nine days old". — SWalkerTTU 05:49, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
