Human breast milk on the menu

THE owner of a Swiss restaurant wants to serve his award-winning meals with human breast milk.
The owner of the Storchen restaurant in the exclusive Winterthur resort will improve his menu with local specialities such as meat stew and various soups and sauces containing at least 75 per cent of mother’s milk.

“We have all been raised on it. Why should we not include it into our diet?” Hans Locher, who has become Switzerland most controversial restaurant owner, said.

Mr Locher attracted the attention of the leading media of the German-speaking world this week after he posted ads looking for women donors, who will receive just over three pounds for 14 ounces of their milk.

He said: “I first experimented with breast milk when my daughter was born.

“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.”

Wow.

Remind me to check my milkshake the next time we go out…..

A friend of mine once served breast milk at a party, but it was a bit too sweet & fatty for my taste.

eovti, I was going to say something pretty much along those lines.  Human milk is VERY sweet….usually too sweet for adult taste (though I do know a few men who do like it but one already has a sugar disorder).

Human milk is VERY sweet….

Which is why babies have such nice breath.

Heh.. I’ve heard of some friends-of-friends who feel that Thanksgiving just ‘isn’t enough’.

They run a five-day Medieval/Renaissance feasting revel with an interesting theme. Each meal is a steady increase up the evolutionary ladder. They start with yogurt and cheeses (being bacterial in nature), with veggies by dinnertime. Lots of folks give ‘insect day’ a miss, but apparently one can make a tasty cricket lasagne. Last year, they managed to have Breast Milk Ice Cream as dessert the final day.

I have wondered if I could pasturize my breast milk.  I figured it would save a bundle on regular milk.  Too bad this is so far away.  Keeping the milk fresh on the trip would be a hassle.  Since Anicah is nearly weened, I could be making some money.  I could get 14 ounces out pretty easily.

Umm…it is sweet, not that I would know or anything…  

My family has tasted my breastmilk…but from a bottle, not from me…that would just weird me out.

So where is this guy planning on getting the breastmilk? How’s that for a part-time job? “So what do you do? Oh I produce half a gallon of breast milk per day…”

Meagan, my family has tried it from a cup also (the kiddos) they were curious about how it worked and I was pumping exclusively at the time so I let my son and his sister try a sip. They thought it was nasty (although not as nasty as his formula when they tried a bit of that… )

Berlynprime - I will come to the dark side for the cookies if i can have breast milk with ‘em
(sig line)

Not fond of family bonding, Maegan? 

Not THAT familiar, Acci.  I was pumping a lot with Jocelynn…and my sister was like, “HEY!  Can I try some?”
