Junket (dessert)
Junket is a milk-based dessert, made with sweetened milk and rennet, the digestive enzyme that curdles milk. Some older cookery books call the dish curds and whey. Preparation To make junket, milk (usually with sugar and vanilla added) is heated to approximately body temperature and the rennet, which has been dissolved in water, is mixed in to cause the milk to set. The dessert is chilled prior to serving. Junket is often served with a sprinkling of grated nutmeg on top. History Junket evolved from an older French dish, ''jonquet'', a dish of renneted cream in which the whey is drained from curdled cream, and the remaining curds sweetened with sugar.

Junket (company)
Junket is a company that makes rennet tablets and prepackaged powdered dessert mixes and ingredients for making various curdled, milk-based foods, such as junket and ice cream. It was founded in 1874 by Christian Hansen in Hansen's Laboratorium in Denmark to make rennet extract for the cheesemaking industry. In 1878, Hansen opened up operations in the United States. Herkimer County, New York, was chosen for the headquarters, since it was the center of the US cheese industry at that time. Rennet tablets, commonly referred to as "Junket tablets", are a common source of rennet for home cheesemakers. The "Junket" brand is now owned and operated by Junket Foods LLC a St. Louis Missouri company with a history with ice cream.

Film Promotion
Film promotion is the practice of promotion specifically in the film industry, and usually occurs in coordination with the process of film distribution. Sometimes called the press junket or film junket, film promotion generally includes press releases, advertising campaigns, merchandising, franchising, media and interviews with the key people involved with the making of the film, like actors and directors. As with all business, it is an important part of any release because of the inherent high financial risk; film studios will invest in expensive marketing campaigns to maximize revenue early in the release cycle. Marketing budgets tend to equal about half the production budget. Publicity is generally handled by the distributor and exhibitors.
