Some of the solids and fluids in the earlier part of this _carte_ we
felt tolerably sure of finding at the maire's chalet, and accordingly
any amount of cream and _seret_ proved to be forthcoming. The maire
asserted that _cerac_ was the true name of this recommendable article
of food, _cere_ being the patois for the original word. Others had
told us that the real word was _serre_, meaning _compressed_ curds;
but the French writers who treat learnedly of cheese-making in the
_Annales de Chimie_ adopt the form _serets_; and in the _Annales
Scientifiques de l'Auvergne_ I find both _seret_ and _serai_, from the
Latin _serum_.
