You betcha. You see, Ray, there's *milk* and there's *other milk.* From the culinary point of view this is understood by the professional chef to represent the difference between milk and milk fat. Milk comes in a range of fat-percentages, each of which is used differently in the kitchen. Just plain milk by itself is called skim milk, and is frequently used in recipes which either have a high fat content already or are seeking to eliminate it. At the other end of the scale, we have half and half (which is half *milk* and half *other milk*) and heavy cream (mostly *other milk*) which provide fat to bind a recipe together or is reduced into a thicker consistency during cooking.

 

(Nothing to see here, either.)

 

Now, an alfredo sauce, which is widely popular throughout the world, consists mostly of parmesan cheese and *other milk* which has been reduced (or boiled down) into a creamy sauce. In Europe, there is a dairy product called crème frâiche which is pretty much all *other milk* and has a creamy, sauce-like consistency even before it has been cooked.

 

This concludes today's class on milk. :)

Why, whatever are you hominids prattling on about now? :dozey: We're having frank discussions about kitchen safety, food-borne illnesses transmissible by milk...and milk in general.

 

(Really nothing to see here at all.)

 

Milk jokes! :D

 

Q: Why did cats domesticate humans?

A: So they could get milk without getting their heads stepped on.

 

Q: Why buy the cow if you can get the milk for free?

A: Steak.

 

...So this milkman knocks on the door to find this gorgeous blonde woman in a bath robe, who wants him to fill her bath tub with milk so she can take a milk bath. 'Pasteurized?' he asks, and she says, 'No, just up to my nipples.'

 

:max: Who else got milk jokes? Eh?
