Cow's milk.

[SkullDaddy.45]

Not to keen on the milk...but sure am grateful to the genius that decided to make burgers out that SOB!

 

[AndreusMaximus]

Not to put too fine a point on it, but Rom and Rem weren't drinking cow's milk. Jus'sayin'.

Beat me to it!

I will say there’s not much better than fresh cream skimmed of the top off the bulk tank poured over some fresh peaches, blueberries or strawberries. We had a tin can hanging on the wall in the milk house and would just dip in the tank to get a drink.

If I remember correctly we all had gastrointestinal issues the first couple of weeks but got used to it. City cousins up for a visit wouldn’t touch the stuff cause it smelled like………milk?
Dad had a fit when Mom bought store bought milk while we had a thousand gallons in the barn.

I'm 31 and I have drank 3-4 gallons a week since I can remember. Skim, 1%, or 2%. I don't mix anything in it especially not alcohol. I also don't drink it after eating cereal. I probably drink more than anything else including water. I have seen this question before and it made me think a little more about it but it won't stop me from drinking it.

If you think it is weird that people decided to get milk from a cow. Just how messed up was the person who first tried civet coffee ?

 

[DoggyDaddy]

I've drank skim milk for so long that drinking whole milk tastes like drinking heavy cream to me. But I do love milk. Don't drink as much as I used to, but I still probably go through 1 1/2 to 2 gallons a week.

Probably the coffee farmer that thought, "Those little bastards ate all my coffee beans! I'm gonna follow them around until they poop it out!"

I put water in my cereal as a kid because I couldn't stand the stuff. About the time I hit 50, I'd drink a half gallon in a day and then not touch it again for weeks. I occasionally buy some heavy whipping cream for my coffee when I'm doing the keto thing, and I will use it in recipes when called for.
I like just about any kind of dairy you could think of, just not a big fan of the moo juice.

 

[mikek]

I like it whipped and frozen with some kind of hot fudge & strawberries

 

[mikek]

Ivanhoe’s has more ways to eat frozen milk than I’ve ever seen. Lol

 

[wagyu52]

Let’s not forget the most important milk products, cheese and ice cream.

Cow's milk is easily obtained, other than water, what drink makes more sense? It doesn't seem to me very surprising that somebody tried it at some point. What surprises me is that people figured out how to brew beer or ferment wine, a lot more time and effort in that.

 

[tmcindy]

Yuck! Never drank milk. Never will.

 

[HoughMade]

A divine combination of hunger and ingenuity.

This. Whenever a new food source is discovered, it's the result of a combination of hunger and curiosity. Plenty of things were tried that tasted horrific. Then, only social climbers eat them to give off an air of manufactured sophistication.

...but we as humans have this knack of getting all up in our own heads over nonsense and our society's current state of overabundance has us drawing arbitrary lines. If we get hungry enough....the lines go away.

You eat dog meat? Just ground up or fileted?

 

[AndreusMaximus]

Oh, I'm pretty sure you drank milk at some point my friend. (Unless you were raised on formula, in which case... )

From my (purely amateur) reading on beer and wine, those were happy accidents that any hunter-gatherer tribe could do.
Collect wild grains, place them in a gourd for later consumption. Maybe grind them up with rocks so that Grandma could eat them. Ooops, rained, water got into the gourd, then wild yeast got in, the gourd sat around, then Ook challenged Uhhhrk to drink it — tada, ancient beer!
The tribe sees Ook and Uhhhrk drunk and happy, wants more of that thing, stays in the same place where the wild grains grow — tada, start of farming and civilization.
Same with wild grapes and wine.
Trying to hold down a wild mama cow and squeeze her udders, at great danger to several people, is counter-intuitive. Instead just spear her and eat the delicious meat.

Cows milk? Nope.
