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?

A few years ago, I found some white creamyish sauce in my 'fridge that expired in 1993.

 

 

1993. That's before ANY of us were born! It was priceless, I'm sure. Stupid mom, not knowing beauty when she sees it, thew the stuff away.
