While many people believe that it was curds and whey that Little Miss Muffet was eating during the nursery rhyme this is actually a misunderstanding. The original wording of the rhyme tells us that the aforementioned Miss Muffet was actually eating turds and hay. Due to the accents of people over time the rhyme slowly mutated to say curds and whey. There is also another theory that curds is actually spelt "kurds", it is believed that the Turkish and Iraqi governments originally wrote the rhyme as a piece of propaganda against the Kurds, it is said that the rhyme infers the weakness of the Kurdish people.
