I’ve often wondered if I could use breastmilk for cooking, but never tried it. I wouldn’t take it so far as cannibalism, but it does make me feel a bit queasy. Weird…
according to the article in last month’s Mothering, ain’t no thing if you live in Mongolia. according to the article, just regular folks drink it just ‘cuz they like it.
I use it for cooking all the time. It’s awesome when I’m going “Crap, I’m out of milk, and I need a half cup for this recipe,” and then I realize I have all these little bottles/bags of milk in the fridge! Hooray for oversupply, that’s what I say. Totally beats having to run to the store for just milk.
Haven’t noticed any difference in any of the foods I’ve cooked with it.
lol, Mongolia, met some exchange students from Mongolia last year, lovely gals! & yeah I’ve read that as well.
My fav is Motherwear’s winner from last year, it’s what I thought of 1st, “What do you mean he eats people!”
I’ve used my milk in cooking once or twice – usually a little added to scrambled eggs
When I saw the link for this in my email feed, I thought it was going to be about eating placentas! *grins*
People are so weird sometimes. Human milk tastes better than cow milk, plus, it’s better for us! (I’m not a fan of cow milk at all and I think my milk tastes like sugar water.)
I would be interested to see more breastmilk recipes. I saw some breastmilk cookies (using breastmilk, not the kind that work to boost your supply) that sounded really good.
I never understand people who think human milk is gross but who don’t bat an eye at consuming the milk of another species.
I’ve heard of a few people who tried this. Generally the issue is that it’s very soft, and doesn’t really come together as easily as cow, goat, or sheep milk because it has a different protein and fat makeup– which is why this chef had to mix cow milk in. This idea has been popular with vegans for a long time, though, since it would basically be ethical dairy products.
I’m not sure I like the idea, though, because the ratio of milk to cheese is about 10:1. For a half pound of breast milk cheese you would have to get 5 lbs of breast milk! Think of how many baby meals that is. I know some women have oversupply issues, but with the amount of milk this would require, even mixing in cow’s milk, you would either do a LOT of work for very little gain, as seems to be the case with this guy, or you are blessed with some pretty amazingly productive breasts and should donate to a non-profit milk bank to help desperate babies who aren’t just interested in the novelty factor, but really need it!
(Of course, occasional substitution in recipes is different– but making cheese, wow, that’s a lot of milk!)
