Breast Milk On The Menu

Hans Locher, the owner of fancy-schmancy restaurant Storchen in Switzerland, came up with a few new dishes. His recipes for soup, antelope steak with sauce, and Zürcher Geschnetzeltes, small pieces of meat in a creamy sauce, all have one special ingredient added: breast milk. “I first experimented with breast milk when my daughter was born,” Locher said. “One can cook really delicious things with it. However, it always needs to be mixed with a bit of whipped cream, in order to keep the consistency.” He put out ads in search of female donors who would be paid about $14 for 14 oz. of their breast milk. Unfortunately, Locher’s hopes for his très nouvelle cuisine have been stymied. Food inspectors ruled humans are not on the list of authorized milk suppliers. While some foodies are probably sad they won’t be able to re-sample the delicacy they enjoyed as an infant, that may be for the best. We’re pretty sure Locher didn’t get the memo that a woman’s diet can influence the taste of her breast milk. If one of his donors had eaten a banana before pumping, his soup would surely have been ruined. [The Telegraph, U.K.]

how ironic that we think nothing of drinking a cow’s milk, but somehow to drink milk from our own species is viewed as gross?
huh. bizarre.
at least breastmilk tastes better than cow spooge. and if more kids were breastfed we’d see FAR LESS sick and obese children.
HUMAN milk for HUMAN babies.

This one will take a while to catch on. I can say that breast milk does taste so much better than regular cows milk. When my wife was very engorged after having our first child, she asked me if I would releave by taking the presure off because they were rock hard and painful for her.
I must say it was the best milk I have ever tasted.
