The Johnston McCulley's novel, The Mark of Zorro, one of the main characters is Sergeant Gonzalez (one of the bad guys). One of the Sergeant's favorite expressions is, "Meal mush and goat's milk!" Why that particular phrase should be the essence of a curse I do not understand, but there it is. Evidently McCulley thought that military men of the period said that when they became frustrated.
