Even I remember non-homogenised milk! *feels old* It was much better.

What I do remember and thought was completely hideous, especially when it arrived unannounced in cups of tea was sterilised milk. Don't think I encountered it after I left home and started drinking coffee instead of tea anyway. Mind you only common people had sterilised milk.

Is that like UHT Sharkie? That stuff is nasty, especially in tea.

My gran had sterilised milk! She's the only person I've ever known to buy it. She got it because she didn't have a fridge and it kept better. It's something I associate with childhood visits, also the only times I ever went on a council estate and played with the rough kids in the street. Happy days!

I love clotted cream, and am comfortable with cream that's been whipped till it can be eaten with a fork, but I don't like thick milk or liquid cream. And the cream from the top of the bottle looked as if it had a funny smell and left little blobs on the underside of the lid. The other kids at school could gross me out by licking those little blobs off.

Ah right, don't think I have experienced sterilised milk in that case. I like everything from normal (full fat!) milk through to clotted cream, and sour cream. Yum yum yum. I'd fade away if I had to give up dairy. |

Hmmmmm I should probably admit at this point that various members of my family are farmers & as a kid I shared space with many friesians. I say that so this anecdote isn't too weird. You talk about fabulous milk? Well not long after meeting Mrs W she was at my dad's and it was just after calving time. So close to the (block) calving that the milk was not yet going off to in a tanker. (To start with it gets thrown away due to colostrum content). Naturally a little thing like that doesn't make farmers go and buy milk for their coffee or cereal - it went OK until my brother popped round on day 2 and asked my vegetarian girlfriend "how are you getting on with the pink milk?" She'd had quite a lot of white coffee by then; possibly cornflakes too - I don't remember. |

Tee hee, Winded. And isn't cows' colostrum now marketed as a wonder product for athletes or something? I know it is and I don't believe it. |
