Mommy Milk Cheese! Gack!

[delilah]

Chef Daniel Angerer, father of an 8-week-old girl, tells us he’s making cheese from his wife's breast milk. “Being a chef,” he explains, “you’re curious about anything in terms of flavor — you look out for something new and what you can do with it.”

In fact, Angerer says his wife’s milk reminds him of the cow’s milk that he’d pick up, as a child, from a farm in Austria: “It was still warm and it would sour the next day.” Angerer says that two gallons of the mother’s milk yielded almost two quarts of cheese. “After two weeks aging, it was somewhat like a raw-milk cheese — it had all the flavors in there. It tastes just like really sweet cow’s milk. It wasn’t like, ‘Hey, this is such an amazing cheese.’ It’s just like, ‘Can you use human milk? Yes, you absolutely can!’” In short, it’ll do in a pinch.

Actually, Angerer is so excited about the results that he has posted a recipe for “My Spouse’s Mommy Milk Cheese” on his blog and is offering the cheese to the public: “Our baby has plenty back-up mother’s milk in the freezer, so whoever wants to try it is welcome to try it as long as supply lasts (please consider cheese aging time).”

Well....yeah, I admit the thought grosses me out. But why is it any grosser than cow's milk. Or any mammal for that matter?

[delilah]

I guess because it's coming from a human's body fluids...but you're right, it shouldn't be worse than any other mother's milk. Yet...it is. It SO is. I don't think I would even try my own, let alone someone else's. Just seems so wrong.

Ew.

[sputnik]

i admit, i'd try it. yes, my curiosity always gets the best of me.

It was good enough for me when I was a baby so I guess that would be ok as a cheese. But I have to admit that I would feel dirty for eating it!

[Just Kill Me]

Well I guess good for baby that mom has enough extra for her husband to make cheese out of.

They could serve it with placenta pate...

Has anyone ever swallowed semen?

If I didn't know where the milk came from and tried it I'd probably like it

Has anyone ever swallowed semen?

I'm sure there are great recipes for that too.

[Just Kill Me]

There are, isn't there a book? Natural Harvest - A Collection of Semen-Based Recipes by Fotie Photenhauer in Cooking
