Cud

Cud is a portion of food that returns from a ruminant's stomach to the mouth to be chewed for the second time. More accurately, it is a bolus of semi-degraded food regurgitated from the reticulorumen of a ruminant. Cud is produced during the physical digestive process of rumination. The idiomatic expression chewing one's cud means meditating or pondering; similar expressions such as "he chewed that over for a bit", or "chew on that!" likely have the same derivation.

Rumination

The alimentary canal of ruminants, such as cattle, goats, sheep, alpacas, and antelope, are unable to produce the enzymes required to break down the cellulose and hemicellulose of plant matter. Accordingly, these animals have developed a symbiotic relationship with a wide range of microbes, which largely reside in the reticulorumen, and which are able to synthesize the requisite enzymes. The reticulorumen thus hosts a microbial fermentation which yields products (mainly volatile fatty acids and microbial protein), which the ruminant is able to digest and absorb. This allows the animals to extract nutritional value from cellulose which is usually undigested.

Cud (band)

Cud are a British indie rock band formed in Leeds, England in 1987, consisting of vocalist Carl Puttnam (born Ilford, Essex), guitarist/keyboardist Mike Dunphy (b. Northumberland), bassist William Potter (b. Derby), and drummer Steve Goodwin (b. Croydon, Surrey).

History

The four-piece formed in Leeds in 1987. Their first recording was a Peel Session in June 1987, prompted by a demo tape they sent to John Peel. Their first single, "You're The Boss", was released on the Wedding Present's Reception Records record label. Their second release, the Peel Sessions EP, was released on Strange Fruit Records in February 1988 - this included a cover version of Hot Chocolate's "You Sexy Thing" which had already featured in the Festive 50 at number 20. After building up a strong local fanbase, they were signed by Imaginary Records in 1989, who released their first two albums, When in Rome, Kill Me and Leggy Mambo.

Cud signed to A&M Records in 1991. The greater spending power at A&M enabled Cud to reach the Top 40 in 1992, with "Rich and Strange" (#24) and "Purple Love Balloon" (#27), as well as reaching number 30 in the UK Albums Chart with fourth album Asquarius. A further Top 40 single followed in 1994 with "Neurotica". 1994's Showbiz would be their last album. Potter was replaced by Mick Dale, who would later join Embrace, shortly before the band broke up in early 1995.

    Love In A Hollow Tree
    Aha! Top song this, good live too. From Leggy Mambo. She's the chief toast
    In town,
    When the others are gone she's still around,
    Butter wouldn't melt in her mouth,
    And cheese would probably choke her,
    Love in a hollow tree,
    If he'd be hanged he'll come hopping
    If she'd be drowned she'll come dropping
    Love in a hollow tree.
    I'm so full of love, I'm fit to burst,
    You make me drunk enough,
    But I still have a thirst,
    My goodness, what's going out?
    Won't you stop give me a clue to what it's all about?
    Love in a hollow tree,
    She's so sweet, toasted almonds,
