New York chef makes cheese out of wife's breast milk

In the world of haute cuisine, pushing the boundaries of taste has become commonplace.
But in a move that has delighted some and disgusted others, a chef has made cheese out of his wife's breast milk.
The idea struck chef Daniel Angerer eight weeks ago after his wife gave birth and she began freezing her excess milk.

As she produced far more than she could use for their their daughter Arabella, Daniel became curious as to whether human milk could be used in the kitchen.

So he began to experiment in using it to make cheese. He aged it for a fortnight before testing it - and was amazed at its sweet taste.

Now the unusual cheese is on sale at the chef’s Klee Brasserie in New York.

He is using it in a range of upmarket dishes including maple caramelized pumpkin encrusted cheese with concord grapes, and cheese rolled in dehydrated porcini mushroom powder with burned onion chutney

123. next time, ask what's in it before consuming

:rofl:

[pnwmom]

262. Maybe you'd prefer breast milk ice cream?

My husband always said that would be an interesting experiment, but I didn't take him up on it. Was glad that he didn't find my "fluids" "revolting" however.

[appal_jack]

324. He was going to make milkshakes...

He was going to make milkshakes, but that would have brought all the boys to the yard.

And that's never something that a husband wants (a few swingers excepted I guess).

-app

[Arkana]

2. Oh God, get me a bucket.

[Liberal_in_LA]

4. to fill with breast milk cheese?

[Arkana]

10. Har de har har.

No, so I can chunder in it.

[berni_mccoy]

73. LMAO!

[arcadian]

250. Seriously, ROFLMAO

:rofl:

[Renew Deal]

77. I thought you were looking to make some money

At least when I first read it. :rofl:

[roguevalley]

264. times google

[LeftHander]

275. not as bad as Fromunda Chesse...

lol

[LeftHander]

303. Soylent Cheese is Breast Milk!!!

Damn dirty Apes!!

[flvegan]

3. Gross. n/t

[Dr. Strange]

44. And yet...

vegan.

[flvegan]

52. Don't even try to open that Box de la Pandora, Duhsty.

Not vegan.

[Dr. Strange]

67. Wait, why not?

Is there some animal product besides the breast milk going in?
(I admit, my knowledge of cheese-making is limited.)

[CreekDog]

125. I think we are animals, so vegans can't eat us either

at least i hope not. :wtf:

[Arkana]

76. No, whether you are vegetarian, vegan, or omnivore,

I think we can all agree that breast milk cheese is a completely vile concept.

[Dr. Strange]

85. That's a different issue.

I'm thinking it might be vegan since there's no exploitation of animals involved (that I know of).

That doesn't mean I'm gonna eat it, though.

[mike_c]

100. please don't tell me we're still debating whether humans are animals or not....

I mean, if human milk is not an animal product, what is it?

Although, come to think of it, I know some folks who seem more closely related to fungi than to metazoans, per se. :rofl:

[Dr. Strange]

104. Not debating whether the woman is an animal.

Debating if it can be considered exploitation if she willingly uses her breast milk to make cheese.*

*As God as my witness, that's a sentence I never thought I'd be writing, like, ever.

[mike_c]

109. I so wish we could get this thread onto the greatest page....

:rofl:

Oops, it's in GD! We CAN!

[CreekDog]

127. i think you are out of your comfort zone here

you must rethink your compulsion to commenting on any thread involving the term "br****".

:D

[Dr. Strange]

159. 5gan started it.

[flvegan]

166. See? You opened that box. Just HAD to do it.

[TZ]

169. Oh come on.

You HAD to know Dr. Strange would go there. I mean, its about breasts AND he got to annoy the hell out of you while posing an "innocent" question! Admit it, he did a great job of shit stirring...You are jealous!:evilgrin:

[Midlodemocrat]

167. FINALLY!!~!!!!!!! 5gan gets the blame instead of Midlo!!!!!

This thread is FUCKING awesome!!!!!!!!

[CreekDog]

172. Upon further review...

Midlo gets the blame.

:rofl:

[flvegan]

174. !!win!!

[Midlodemocrat]

181. DAMMIT!!!!!!!

:rofl:

[Midlodemocrat]

158. What about basement cheese? Is there a market for that?

[CreekDog]

161. Stop exploiting Mark Harmon

:yoiks:

[flvegan]

163. *Gibbs slap*

[Midlodemocrat]

168. I wuvs him. Oh, wait. NCIS is on. Gotta run.

:rofl:

[flvegan]

162. Exploitation is only part of it.

It's not "using or consuming" any product from an animal. A human infant needs mother's milk up to a point, then no further.

[Dr. Strange]

175. See, I disagree with that.

If we're talking about consenting human adults, then I don't see why it couldn't be vegan.

Apparently this means some of my movie collection isn't vegan.

And by the way, why the hell isn't this question covered in PeTA's FAQ?

[flvegan]

180. PETA?

Oh shit... :popcorn:

[Midlodemocrat]

189. Oh, move over, sonny boy.

:beer:

[PVnRT]

306. You usually have to pay extra for that kind of action

[CreekDog]

182. And I think the butter is borderline exploitation anyway

even if she says she likes it.

[flvegan]

Well, if you put your pole between them properly before churning

there are benefits.

[Maru Kitteh]

228. Um. That standard, strictly adhered to, would prevent the consumption of certain products

that occur as a result of "happy time."

I may not be a good vegan. :rofl:


I mean, I don't spread it on crackers but - the products, they are sometimes consumed. B-)

[flvegan]

229. Ah, but the benefit "shoe" is on the other "foot"

[LeftyMom]

242. I must be the worst vegan ever.

Poor flvegan, having to put up with my ideological impurit...

WAIT A DAMNED MINUTE, on second thought he was involved. Oh hell.

[Dr. Strange]

249. Hence the point of my challenge.

Is not cheese also the product of love-making? Except, instead of love, it's cooking.

[LeftyMom]

251. I don't know you and Missus Doctor Strange do it,

But I don't recall any acts performed between myself and The Vegan One which have resulted in spontaneous cheesemaking.

[roguevalley]

266. BWAHAHAHAHAHAAHA! BWAHAHAHAHAAHAHA!

[PVnRT]

307. You're doing it wrong

Yes, my wife is from Wisconsin, why do you ask?

[roguevalley]

265. just looking at the picture makes me want to ralph

[pnwmom]

101. But the milk is the perfect food for an infant. Why is the cheese so vile then?

We eat cheese made from cow's milk that nature designed only for calves, but only vegans think that is "vile."

[Voice for Peace]

193. unless it is cow breasts, or goat breasts

[paulsby]

217. no, we can't

why is it disgusting?

not to me.

to each their own.

but that would be in LA.

[Debi]

195. That would be Velveeta. n/t

[Midlodemocrat]

155. But still disgusting.

:puke:

:puke:

[Dr. Strange]

157. You're so judgmental.

Is boob cheese really any different from basement cheese?

[Midlodemocrat]

164. Ask DS1. He's the keeper of the basement cheese.

And, boob cheese is gross. Admit it. You agree with me. Breast milk tastes like cantaloupe juice. How is that appealing?

:rofl:

[Dr. Strange]

171. Oh, hell yeah.

Breast cheese doesn't sound kosher by any stretch of the imagination. (Especially chest cheese ala DS1, but I digress.) I just don't see why it wouldn't be vegan.

[flvegan]

173. Kosher? Now you've dragged religion into it.

[Dr. Strange]

177. I thought it only appropriate.

For the good of Jerusalem, of course.

[flvegan]

179. Bless you.

[Midlodemocrat]

185. Hmm. Now I am wondering what was in that strawberry shake?

:yoiks:

[Dr. Strange]

233. Strawberry shakes are NOT vegan.

Neither are sex threads.

[JVS]

5. Yum

[Iggo]

6. Oh, you mean HUMAN breast milk!

[Kitty Herder]

187. It's weird, isn't it?

When I read this, I thought, "Ewww! Gross!" But I was drinking coffee with cow's milk at the time.

[Oregone]

7. Disgusting

Breast milk tastes best fresh

[pnwmom]

103. LOL. n/t

[leftstreet]

8. I sincerely pray his wife flushes the toilet after each use n/t

[Maru Kitteh]

230. Is that becasuse you equate breastmilk w/excreta or because you usually eat shit?

[leftstreet]

232. LOL No! I'm just terrified of this guy's 'creativity'

:rofl:

[Maru Kitteh]

237. Then you should really be afraid if he starts following the kids around with these:

[leftstreet]

241. omg

You might have to register yourself for posting that.

[Liberal_in_LA]

314. ewwwwwwwww wwwwwwwwwwwwwww wwwwwwwwwww wwwwwww

[Bluebear]

9. Words fail.

[Liberal_in_LA]

12. I know! I wouldn't want to eat ANYTHING at that restaurant.

[Bluebear]

13. The chef is "curious" what bodily fluids taste like, then gets his inspiration.

I'm not staying for dessert lol

[JackintheGreen]

40. I realize we're all having great fun with this

But everything non-veg. thing we eat comes from a body. Milk and cheese are a body fluid. Irish "puddings" come from a body fluid. A really good rare steak is rare because of a body fluid. Tripe is a bag that holds bodily fluids. Tongue is an organ that secretes body fluids. And I'm sure that there are more than a few of us who partake in other body fluids for sexual pleasure, we just don't tend to think of them in that way.

What this guy is doing is a somewhat bizarre extension of this, but no more. I'm more concerned about health code violations than I am that fact that he is making food out of a body fluid.

[pnwmom]

305. Exactly. n/t

[AnneD]

213. What's next....

placenta pate.

I'm with you in this debate....

[paulsby]

219. interesting how prudish so many people are here

i've had breast (human) milk before. goat and cow too

it's all good

[AnneD]

248. I have traveled around the world....

and had all kinds of edibles. I think that breast milk be best left for infants where it can do the most good, and the rest be left to the imagination of writers like Steinbeck in the Grapes of Wrath.

[paulsby]

255. everybody has their line to draw

some people think anal sex is disgusting

some think nekkid men with hairy backs

for me, it's balut

i would rather drink a warm frothy gallon of roseanne barr's breastmilk than eat a balut

[AnneD]

294. Isn't is amazing what folks will eat...

if they think it is an aphrodisiac.

[paulsby]

316. the ancient greeks ate raw bull testicles

before fighting and athletic events.

actually, considering that the testes ARE the source of testosterone, they were on the right track.

except for the pesky fact that testerone is extremely orally biounavailable

[Chemisse]

205. It's funny how so many people are disgusted by this, yet

Yet would be perfectly content to allow their precious newborn infants to drink just such milk.

[pnwmom]

268. And, even funnier, so many men are disgusted

who have no problem asking women to swallow their precious bodily fluids -- fluids that nature never intended to be swallowed, by the way, unlike breast milk.

How would they like it if women said this was "vile" and "revolting"?

[uppityperson]

277. "if"? nt

[Toasterlad]

320. Most Women I Know DO Say It's "vile and revolting"

Silly women.

[Toasterlad]

319. There's a Reason People Stop Drinking Breast Milk When They Are No Longer a Baby.

[GreenPartyVoter]

323. And they themselves consume cheese from cows and goats. Go figure!

[KamaAina]

11. Is it on the kiddie menu?

:evilgrin:

[omega minimo]

23. lol

[TwilightGardener]

14. His wife is now officially a dairy. Wonder if someone from the USDA

inspects the facilities? Edit to add: Disgusting, but that should go without saying.

[snagglepuss]

32. "His wife is now officially a dairy. "

:rofl:

[monmouth]

114. OMG, mouthful of green tea on keyboard. Too damned funny..Best thread evah!..n/t

[TreasonousBastard]

15. Is this even legal? Aside from the source...

does he Pasteurize the milk or make the chesse from the raw?

[kestrel91316]

92. Completely illegal. Commercial establishments can only sell

dairy products from inspected facilities.

[Xithras]

145. That may not be true here.

Most areas have laws that permit the creation of boutique foods, including cheeses and yoghurts, if they're sold to be consumed right away. There's an awesome little restaraunt about 30 minutes from my home that includes as an appetizer a selection of cheeses that are handmade on the premesis, from milk taken directly out of the owners cow. The laws are funny...they won't let you leave with the cheese, but you can consume it there (has something to do with the legal differences between selling food as a grocery, and selling it for immediate consumption).

I don't know what the laws are in NYC, but if the guy experiments with new foods, there's a decent chance that he's licensed for it. Breast milk cheese doesn't strike me as the kind of thing that someone would create on a whim with no other experience in cheese making. If they guy is running an artisanal brasserie, which it sounds like he IS, then he probably does this sort of thing on a regular basis, and likely has all the licenses he needs for it.

Honestly, my only problem with the idea is the lack of knowledge about the milk source. Is she taking any pills? How is her diet? Any health problems? When was her last disease screening? Does she ever use drugs? I have no problem with the idea of the milk, or the cheese, and would have no complaints about sampling it if I knew the source and was 100% sure that it was "clean", but I don't think I could stomach cheese made from the milk of an unknown human being.

[kestrel91316]

153. I doubt that a license to sell breast milk for human adult consumption exists.

Seriously. And precisely because of the complete lack of knowledge of the source. What medications has she taken that are being excerted in the milk? What toxins are concentrated in human mammary tissue and potentially excreted? What bacteria might contaminate the milk? How do you know she doesn't have any infectious diseases that could be spread by consuming or handling the milk?

From a public health standpoint, this cannot be remotely legal. NO state would permit it.

[pnwmom]

326. And it also hasn't been prohibited, in NYC at least.

I guess no one thought about it before.

[pnwmom]

325. Actually, that's not true.

Breast milk cheese appears to have fallen through the cracks of the NYC health code. I assume that will change now, however.

http://newyork.grubstreet.com/2010/03/doh_politely_asks_daniel_anger.html

Add this one to the marketing playbook! Our story about Daniel Angerer making cheese from his wife’s breast milk has turned the Klee Brasserie (Bra-sserie?) chef into somewhat of an international sensation. It was picked up everywhere from London’s Daily Mail to the Toronto Star, and now the Post chimes in to ask the Health Department what it thinks about the chef’s “canapé of breast-milk cheese with figs and Hungarian pepper” and his wife’s idea of breast-milk gelato.

After inquiries from The Post, health bigs said yesterday that even though department codes do not explicitly forbid the practice, they have advised Angerer to refrain from sharing his wife's milk with the world.

[ThomWV]

16. And nowhere did I see how much he is asking for this unique product

He is selling it - and one wonders what sort of regulatory maze that leads one through, so there is a price. How much? Who makes the money, the lactator or the cheesemaker?

[Liberal_in_LA]

24. no, no mention. Here is the website

http://www.kleebrasserie.com/

[BurtWorm]

58. I thought it said Klee Brassiere.

:spray:

[Demoiselle]

105. I couldn't find any mention of the cheese or its price on his website.

But the website doesn't apppear to be very recently updated.

[petronius]

239. His blog (that this story is based on) makes no mention of selling it

It sounds like it's something he did at home, on his own, while waiting for approval from the milk donation organizations.

I think the news writer was fooled into thinking it's for sale by the well-presented images on the blog...

[eShirl]

17. Why is it grosser than cheese made from any other mammal's mammary glands?

ick

[NeedleCast]

26. It's not

People are just "trained" to think it's gross.

[kestrel91316]

94. It's not grosser, just uninspected. Heaven knows what diseases she COULD have.

And heaven knows what bacteria contaminated it in the process of obtaining it. I'm pretty sure the good chef knows little about dairy sanitation.

[pnwmom]

106. Good point, but I suspect that's not the reason behind

most of the revulsion here. Would the posters be happy with pasteurized breast milk cheese? I doubt it.

[kestrel91316]

115. You can't pasteurize heavy metals and PCB's out. I'll pass.

[pnwmom]

129. So I assume you don't think babies should have breast milk either?

That there are no heavy metals and PCB's in their formulas?

Or in the cow milk products and other foods we eat on a daily basis?

[kestrel91316]

132. Why on earth would you assume THAT?? There are many reasons to

give REAL HUMAN BREAST MILK to babies, and the toxics are a definite downside but IMHO they still don't outweigh the benefits.

And unless you have some data showing levels of contaminants in our produce and grains and even our meats that are as high as those in human breast milk, I am not conceding that point.

I have made note that you appear to be picking a fight with me without provocation. Proceed with caution.

[pnwmom]

206. I'm quaking in my boots. n/t

[Kali]

133. I suspect the portions are pretty damn small

and not a regular part of anyone's diet (other than their kid).

[Chemisse]

201. But of course our dairy cattle NEVER eat anything with heavy metals in it! nt

[Shell Beau]

215. No. I admit it is a double standard, but I know of people

that I wouldn't want to have a conversation with much less eat some of their bodily fluids. I bet you'd find it gross if it came from Ann Coulter.

[Zomby Woof]

245. Except...

...Ann Coulter doesn't have any breasts. If she did, all they would secrete is bile.

[Shell Beau]

246. Blech!!

:puke:

But probably true!

[pnwmom]

261. My husband used to joke about making breast milk ice cream

since I also used to produce in abundance.

I wasn't interested in taking him up on it, but I thought it was nice that he wasn't repulsed by the idea.

You're right though -- I don't think he would have made the offer to Ann Coulter!

[superduperfarleft]

240. Exactly.

In fact, it should be less gross. After all, human breast milk=food for baby humans. Cow breast milk=food for baby cows. I'd think this would be more appropriate.

[NeedleCast]

18. That's weird, but doesn't really bother me

That's assuming that it's being advertised for what it is.

[mike_c]

19. um, folks-- where do you think milk COMES from, the 'fridge?

Whether from cows, goats, horses, or mom, it comes from mammary glands, i.e. breasts. There is no other kind of milk but "breast milk." The human variety is the best for us in terms of nutrient balance, although arguably NO milk is ideal for adults without high growth nutrient needs. But still, I cannot believe the disgust expressed in this thread. Milk is the only perfect food produced for humans by humans.

Milk. It's the stuff that breasts secrete.

[Bluebear]

25. We don't know what goes into Madame's body, though. She is now officially a dairy producer.

[NeedleCast]

31. You don't know what goes into most animals that are normally consumed

Unless you're raising them yourself.

[Bluebear]

34. Well, that's fair.

I dunno, selling something that came out of my spouse just strikes me as wrong in some regard, who knows? :)

[Better Today]

69. So you wouldn't let your spouse be a sperm or egg donor?

[NeedleCast]

183. Americas aren't very adventerous in their food

Making cheese from human breast milk would rate about a 3 on a 10 scale in some parts of Asia, South America and India.

[snagglepuss]

36. Well we certainly know it's not grass-fed.

[Better Today]

66. ROFL! Can it be any worse than what cows are given in order to secrete

enough milk to make them profitable?

[kestrel91316]

97. IIRC, human mammary tissue has the highest levels of certain persistent

toxins in the world, aside from some sea mammals. What is the level of PCB's, dioxins, and such in her milk?? Are they CONCENTRATED by the cheesemaking process?

Inappropriate and unsanitary.

[mike_c]

108. there is that, being at the top of the food chain has its hazards....

I still don't see any real difference between making cheese from human milk and making it from any other mammal's milk. I doubt that I'd care for the taste particularly-- I don't care for sweet cheeses or human milk-- but sanitation is a function of how the product is handled, not whose mammaries it came from. After all, it's hard to imagine that the chef's kitchen is less sanitary than a dairy barn!

[Better Today]

113. Thank you, you said that better than I've managed to.

[kestrel91316]

117. Being herbivores, cows and sheep would have a lot less contaminants

concentrated in their milk. We are top predators, and so we get loaded with the bad stuff.

[Better Today]

122. Can't say about sheep, but my understanding is that feed for dairy

cows include animal by-products. You aren't under some illusion that most dairy cows are out in some green pasture eating grasses are you?

I use this in my lectures on herbivory. Sorry it seems to not display directly-- the link is safe.

[kestrel91316]

137. OMG, that's so funny, bad you mike_c!!!!!

But I think even you will have to admit that it is an exception, and a rare one at that. Rumen and reticulum, and all, you know.......That cow probably died of gastrointestinal problems shortly after that pic........

But I was briefly ROFLMFAO.

[mike_c]

142. you should see the looks on the faces of a roomful of twenty-somethings....

But seriously, most herbivores eat significant amounts of animal tissue too, or at least most grazers do.

Some are even opportunistic omnivores. I once caught a squirrel in the act of consuming road kill, bloody face and all.

You're right about those sorts of things being rare, but I'll bet that cow went to bed with a happy tummy (and without cellulose, I'll bet its digestive enzymes made short work of that bunny!).

[Kali]

160. that is a good one, may need to steal it

I see them eating all kinds of strange things - suspect wild herbivores do too, though I've never actually seen it.

[Better Today]

112. Okay for children but not adults? Wow, you remind of a friend I had

once, who quite literally thought all breastfeeding should be banned regardless of the health benefits because it was "inappropriate, unsanitary, and uncivil."

Feel free to gross yourself out over the matter, but I have no doubt that it isn't any worse that what could be found in standard cow's milk, different yes, but not worse.

[kestrel91316]

120. I'm not grossed out, lol, as hard as you are trying to paint me as such.

And I am the LAST person who would ever think breastfeeding should be banned. You have quite the runaway imagination there. Frankly, I think breastfeeding should be REQUIRED, lol, and fully permissible in public.

But the subject at hand, and what I was addressing, if you had bothered to read my posts instead of whipping yourself up into a lather over your imaginings, is whether or not human breast milk is safe and sanitary to serve in a commercial establishment. I say it's not.

And if you think the level of persistent toxin contamination in cow's milk is remotely comparable to that of human breast milk, you are woefully ignorant of scientific fact. Humans are pinnacle predators, and we eat not only plant material, but herbivores, omnivores, and carnivores. That is how the crap gets concentrated up the food chain.

[uppityperson]

278. seems a tiny bit of cheese would have less than amount nursing baby gets

I think it is very cool

29. exactly

I've been getting a good laugh reading all the 'gross/disgusting' posts.

It's milk. Period. :rofl:

[Shell Beau]

60. There is soy milk!!!

[mike_c]

71. if that's milk just because it's white, then my office is painted with...

...Sherman-Williams milk! :rofl:

But in any event, all the revulsion in this thread over milk from mammaries is hilarious. Like "dairy" milk comes from somewhere else!

[Shell Beau]

74. It is a mind thing.

I drink cow's milk, but probably only because I was raised on it. Couldn't wouldn't do people milk. Even though I fed my baby my milk, I didn't want to taste it.

84. seriously?-- you didn't taste it?

I don't care for any milk, actually, and I never drink cow's milk. Human milk is way too sweet for my taste, I suppose because human babies need the additional sugars for easily metabolizable energy. But it is sweet (in the literal sense-- I must admit to liking the dispensers, LOL :bounce: :bounce: ).

I love cheese though. Sweet cheeses not so much, but you never know 'till you try it.

[Shell Beau]

86. I just couldn't bring myself to taste it.

I know that is silly, but like I said, it is a mind thing.

I will try any cheese. Weird I know.

[Fire Walk With Me]

91. I'm looking at Google images of soybeans

and for the life of me I can't find any nipples. Someone please 'splain what's going on here...

[mike_c]

111. you have to google a different set of images to see those....

:rofl:

Best. Thread. Evah.

[Shell Beau]

210. They're tiny baby nipples unseen by the human eye!

:P

[MadBadger]

207. There is no such thing as Soy Milk cuz There's no soy titty now is there?

Joke Courtesy of Lewis Black.

[Shell Beau]

But I think soybeans would be offended.

What'll he do when his wife quits lactating?

up to put a tag in her ear...

Personally, if I'm going to consume someone else's fluids, they have to buy me dinner - not the other way around. ;)

[Stevenmarc]

27. From Bra to Brasserie

[CTyankee]

28. I don't think it's terrible...

I'm sure her breasts are very clean. I was on a sheep farm in Sicily's Madonie mountains a few years ago and observed the ewes being herded in the barn for milking...they were pretty filthy. Yet I ate the cheese they made right there from those ewes...I didn't think a thing about it...

I believe this restauranteur is also a high end caterer...was staffing a fund raising party in Greenwich he catered and it was incredibly wonderful food...just sayin'.

[Brickbat]

30. I think this is pretty cool.

I do think the excess milk could go to a milk bank. OTOH, why not try this? And anyway, it's working -- he's got a ton of publicity from this.

[ThomWV]

37. ln much the same way that a child eating boogers, someone else's boogers, is pretty cool I suppose.

[betharina]

46. breast milk is not a waste product. good grief. nt

[Brickbat]

47. We have different ideas of cool

But I think we both already knew that.

[Dr. Strange]

243. Don't be silly.

You can't make cheese out of boogers.

[pnwmom]

269. Are you against oral sex, too?

If you are, then at least you're being consistent.

But for most men here, the level of hypocrisy is amazing.

[uppityperson]

one is a food product, the other is waste product. But I am sure you knew that.

38. In olden days there were such people as "wet nurses," women who had given birth

and were able to "rent" out their milk for infants whose mothers' couldn't produce enough for them. It was an honorable thing to do.

[Brickbat]

42. I tried to donate my surplus milk (I was a milk-making rock star), but there weren't any facilities

in the area that could take it. Which is too bad -- I made awesome milk. My firstborn weight 20 pounds at three months.

[Ian David]

35. A better use would be to donate the excess milk for burn victims and such.

But if I could afford it, I'd eat the cheese.

But only if his wife is pretty.

[Bluebear]

45. 'I'd eat the cheese. But only if his wife is pretty.'

Sometime in the future we will have breast milk items with a photo of the, er, donor, for your approval :)

[Ian David]

50. I'd go for that

[Bluebear]

51. For you :)

[Touchdown]

39. Is her name Velveeta?

:puke:

[Cronus Protagonist]

55. Actually, it's DAISY

lol

[Berry Cool]

88. ...And the thread devolves into sexism

as women become compared to cows--only they have to be PRETTY cows. Great.

Personally, I think it's an elitist waste of milk that could be used to feed babies whose own mothers can't produce.

[Cronus Protagonist]

96. ummm the thread didn't devolve into sexism

It BEGAN with it. Besides, lighten up a little, will ya?

[Quantess]

41. Gross!

Just reading the title makes me nauseous. Sorry, I have to hide thread now.

[Cronus Protagonist]

43. can I get a protein shake with that?

I don't think I need to know where the protein comes from...

[Robb]

48. Wasteful

...There are many places where properly stored breast milk could be donated to help infants whose mothers are unable to produce.

[thereismore]

49. Just as disgusting as cow's milk, whale milk, camel milk, or dog's milk.

Swine milk. I wonder why we can't have swine milk??? Revolting? So is cow's.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

53. I think this is a great use for her milk!

And shame on all you people who are grossed out.

Milk is milk. All mammals make milk. ALL.

I'd eat it.

Good for her husband.

K&R

[CreekDog]

131. oh my no

no no no

:yoiks:

[Bettie]

170. These are probably the same people who were freaked out

that a woman in our office used to store pumped milk in the SAME fridge that their lunches were in!

They were horrified that human milk (in bottles) was in the same place as their sack lunches and leftovers from various restaurants.

Personally, I think it is an interesting use for excess milk and if she doesn't mind, then fine.

Oh, and I don't think anyone is being forced to try it!

[Midlodemocrat]

191. HAHAHAHAHA. No.

Rather than do this, which is admittedly, disgusting because we have no idea what this woman is ingesting prior to making said breast milk, why doesn't she donate the excess to a breast milk bank?

Hmm? Hmm?


Crickets.

[Bettie]

227. When I was having lots of excess breast milk, I tried to donate

But the bank in my region was only taking milk from women with dairy free diets.

I don't see it as disgusting, frankly, the vast majority of breastfeeding mothers eat as healthy a diet as they can to ensure that their babies get the very best from their milk.

Here's the thing, if you think it is gross, don't eat it, don't order it. I'm sure it is labeled on the menu.

My DH used to joke about making ice cream out of my surplus milk. He is not horrified by this, nor does he think it disgusting.

Oh and the fact that I didn't answer earlier was largely due to the fact that I was cooking a healthy meal for my family.

[RedCloud]

186. Right on Peggy.

And for helping to return humans back to the nature...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

214. Is that an eagle feather.......and for me?

I'm not sure I deserve this, but I thank you...

:hug:

[uppityperson]

280. Indeed Peggy, indeed. I think it is a great use and being grossed out is silly

[Shell Beau]

286. I feel absolutely no shame for being grossed out.

In fact, I think it is a normal human reaction. I don't want any fluids that came out of any person. Spit, pee, breast milk, sperm, whatever. Keep it to yourself.

[panzerfaust]

54. Food safety laws?

I expect that if he was using goat's milk there would be all sorts of regulatory and sanitary inspections.

Doubt that human milk is any safer in these respects than that of any other mammal.

Humm ... there are lots of rats in NYC ... gosh "wonder how that would taste"

[CTyankee]

78. The only thing I can think of is that HIV is passed in human milk I believe.

Of course, I am fairly certain that if she were HIV positive she wouldn't be breast feeding in the first place, but just in general terms it is not something found in animals whose milk we typically consume...

[Ilsa]

146. I'm not even certain of that. There has been concern that babies that

got HIV from breastfeeding got it because their mother may have had an open sore on the nipple. But I'm not certain.
Breastmilk has alot of anti-viral properties to it, which would probably kill HIV. If someone has the latest research, please say so.

[Wizard777]

271. That's what I was thinking. NY can be very strict on food regulation.

It's been a little while since I've been to New York for fine dining. But the last time I was there out on the town. They refused to serve me a rare steak. They basically said it was illegal. Medium rare was the best they could do. I just can't see NY allowing anyone to basically put Human on their menu.

[MellowDem]

56. I'd try it...

I mean, I've had it before, but it has been a while... ;-)

[Shell Beau]

57. I'll pass. Thanks, but no thanks.

I never even wanted to taste my own when I was breastfeeding, I sure as hell won't be trying someone else's.

[madinmaryland]

59. Happily k&r'd!

[reflection]

61. No thanks, I'm trying to quit.

:puke:

[Paper Roses]

63. Gross, I really wasn't sure I read the subject line correctly.

I find that revolting and if I was a customer and found out this served to me I'd report it to the health authorities.

There is a time and place for everything. Do this type of thing in your own home, chef.

Who knows what chemicals are in her body.

[TwilightGardener]

72. Then, of course, there's human-to-human disease transmission...

81. Hormones, antibiotics...oh wait, that's cattle. nt

[CTyankee]

[Iggo]

204. Yeah, but this is cheese.

[berni_mccoy]

75. LOL! This whole thread is a DUzy!

[Renew Deal]

79. Is it Organic?

I want to know what her diet consists of. :silly:

[Lyric]

80. I've had breast milk. It's good.

The cheese is probably good, too. I don't know how he's getting past the government's food regulations, but then again, I'm not familiar with New York's rules. There's such an enormous amount of ethnic (and food) diversity there...perhaps their rules are more lenient than elsewhere?

[Withywindle]

90. Me too!

Well, I suppose a lot of us have!

But I had some as an adult, when a friend of mine was nursing and offered some up to her friends to try it. I was curious, so why not? It wasn't bad at all, though sweeter than I'm used to milk being.

I really, really don't feel the kneejerk "EEEWWWW" response at all. Why is it that much grosser to consume human milk as an adult than as a baby?

I don't know about the legality of it either, but I bet it's a lot less dubious in reality than factory-farmed cow milk. Obviously, this probably isn't going to be a mass-produced item.

[BurtWorm]

95. I bet it's wired into us to find breast milk disgusting after a certain age

otherwise we'd be drinking it all our lives. I know I would!

[Withywindle]

98. I imagine it's wired into us to find sucking our mothers' breasts squicky.

Which, yeah, totally not into that.

Milk is milk, though. It's just a drinkable nutrient. We're mammals. :shrug:

[BurtWorm]

99. This happens to be milk specially made for our kind, as well.

It is striking how many here are repulsed by the idea of it, though, isn't it? You'd think the guy was making it out of his wife's spit!

[Withywindle]

102. I know!

I'm SURE it's gotta be healthier than factory-farmed cow milk.

You also exchange spit with people when you kiss, but I'm not seeing a freak-out squick reaction to that.

[Chemisse]

202. I think you have put your finger on why so many of us are grossed out - nt

[CreekDog]

192. does it spoil?

:shrug:

[LynzM]

107. It *is* good.

Very light and sweet. I don't see why anyone thinks it's "grosser" than milk from any other mammal. Less gross, if you ask me, as long as you know it's clean.

[Deep13]

83. I'm guessing if she were the chef...

...this would be an endearing act of generosity. Except for the price tag maybe.

This ought to be less gross than bovine milk, not more so--especially considering what goes into a dairy cow.

[Fresh_Start]

87. donate the breast milk to milk banks

infants need it more than whoever the hell is buying it

[Shell Beau]

289. I agree. If you have an excess amount, enough to make

cheese and put it on the menu, donate it to babies who would really benefit from it.

[kestrel91316]

89. Well, the NY Health Department is not gonna like THIS one bit,

and with good cause. Human bodily fluids are not permissible in any commercial food establishment in the country, for reasons of PUBLIC HEALTH.

[dugaresa]

93. i have to agree, he can do this stuff at home but selling it to the public is another matter

i am no prude but in reality they are very fussy about non pasteurized products which is why certain cheeses in Europe can not be imported. If his wife has any diseases that could be passed through the milk then it puts people at risk.

[petronius]

267. The article says it's sold, but the chef's actual blog does not

I think the journalist exaggerated...

[mix]

110. This has to be a joke. nt

[Demoiselle]

121. It must be a joke.

I wouldn't call the Daily Mail the most trustworthy paper in Britain, and the descriptions of the "recipes" sound like a send-up.
I can't believe he would jeopardize his license(s) to play around with this. The health concerns are monumental.
We can't get our beloved French Boursault around here anymore because it isn't pasteurized and they won't let it into the country.
But I am surprised at the revulsion to human breast milk expressed in this thread.

[mix]

He is using it in a range of upmarket dishes including maple caramelized pumpkin encrusted cheese with concord grapes, and cheese rolled in dehydrated porcini mushroom powder with burned onion chutney.

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. I can't even explain why this feels wrong. It is a very visceral feeling. The one more thing? If he is using it in all these dishes to make money and for a novelty to draw customers, what happens when she is no longer breast feeding? Can you see the ad now in the jobs section of the paper? Gross.

150. nice post for International Womens Day

I am skeptical that this is real. Don't believe it would be legal to sell.

Personally/emotionally it grosses me right the fuck out.

BUT it certainly falls into the realm of actually being none of my fucking business. If somebody wants to do this, I don't really have any legitimate reason to stop them.

All the whining about disease, heavy metals etc - oh ffs, nobody is going to eat enough of it to make any damn difference. As for not being pasteurized: 1) so what? and 2) maybe it is.

A certain portion of the food regulations in this country are NOT really about safety. Like Homeland Security, the word safety and the emotion of fear are covering for another agenda. Some regulations are all about reducing competition. The big food corps do NOT want little guys making products that are better than they make and so they actually support (and write) regulations that they can easily afford to comply with, but that small farmers/food producers can not.

Yes some regulations are good, and we need more of some of those (and funding to do the kinds of inspections that ARE beneficial), but not all are the feel-good protections you may think they are.

154. Most disgusting thing I've read in a long, long time.

If she has excess milk? She should be donating it to La Leche for preemie babies rather than this.

And, I just threw up in my mouth a little.

Gross. Gross. Gross.

[Cairycat]

156. If from pasteurized milk, nothing wrong with it ... same as cow

milk. Unpasteurized milk can transmit some pretty bad diseases, from any species.

Human milk contains a higher percentage of whey and lower of casein. This (among bazillions of other things) makes it perfectly suited for humans, but lousy for cheesemaking. The cheese must have used up a lot of milk, which would be much better suited for donation to a milk bank, where it would be pasteurized and safely stored.

Human milk is so much better suited to humans that even with environmental contaminants, it is almost always better for babies than cow or soy formula.

[yawnmaster]

165. This is a sweet idea...now I wonder what it tastes like as cheese...

like a mozzarella or a feta?
sharp or mild.
It would be fun to try.

[Froward69]

176. As a cunsumer of Breasts Myself,

with no real desire of the product therein.

I agree with donation of Fresh breast Milk for preemies and/or other babies in need etc.

however making Cheese from the Older milk seems to me to be fully utilizing the family's resources. (assuming the wife does not mind, is Justly compensated and thus not exploited.)

I must say though, may palate is curious. Like what cracker or Wine would the B-M Cheese go best with?

[Mike 03]

I would love to hear some forensic psychiatrist's assessment of this. He would probably discover two narcissistic egomaniacs behind this.

190. The only problem I have with it is the things can can be transmitted via breastmilk.

Breast milk is awesome stuff. I don't have a problem with the fact it came from a human instead of a cow. In fact, milk from a human is perfectly crafted for my consumption!

However, people being what they are, I can't imagine I'd ever actually purchase breast milk, say, in the store or whatever. People just put too many weird things in their bodies and many of those can be communicated via expressed milk.

-clip their toenails in bed.
-pick earwax from their ears, roll it and fling it.
-same with boogers.
-go tongue wild on first dates.

some of the chemicals and hormones it imparts to the child are used into very

old age -- 80's!!!

Among many, many other benefits!!

OWENSBORO, Ky. – A woman in jail for public intoxication was accused of assaulting a jailer by squirting breast milk at her. WYMT-TV reported that a 31-year-old woman was arrested Thursday on a misdemeanor charge of public intoxication. But as she was changing into an inmate uniform, she squirted breast milk into the face of a female deputy who was with her.

The woman now faces a felony charge of third degree assault on a police officer. Her bond was set at $10,000.

But women's breast milk, a bodily fluid that is actually meant to be a food, is?

Men, would you like it if women were reacting to your bodily fluids the way you are to women's?

Strange, this one-way prudishness.

[Dr. Strange]

273. Because they're not being made into cheese.

Trust me, if the missus, after an act of (awesome) love-making, wanted to use the resulting fluid to make cheese and then sell it in a restaurant, I would be all in her house with disdain.*


*Yet another sentence I never expected to write.

[pnwmom]

304. I don't understand why that is an important difference. Either way,

the bodily fluid is consumed by someone.

Would you be offended by the idea of eating your wife's breast milk cheese, or is it only offensive because you're thinking about a stranger's? That would make more sense to me.

292. Thats why they have PASTERIZATION

There is a HELL of a lot of more gross things you can get from your fellow humans. HIV, any drugs they might be taking, bacterial infections. Anyone who doesn't realize that ingesting human bodily fluids is waaay more dangerous than processed and cleaned animals is ignorant of biology and physiology. So tell me, do you advocate drinking other people's urine? Other people's blood? Other people's snot? Not a big difference.
Oh btw...LINK? PROOF? Stop pulling this wooshit. If you don't like dairy don't drink it but stop with the scare mongering. Human bodily fluids are different.

284. No, using animals for protein goes back a long way, in humans.

Using your own species for protein to distribute among ADULTS is not really something that is done. Sorry, there's no way to make this NOT weird and gross.

[and-justice-for-all]

288. Ok...

:eyes:

[NeedleCast]

300. I don't think it's gross or weird

Then again, unlike most 'muricans, I realize that not all good food comes from cows, pigs and chickens (and turkey, on Thanksgiving).

[crispini]

290. I think this thread reveals a great degree of discomfort with our animal natures.

Face it, humans are animals. How is this any different from getting milk from a cow and making cheese from it? Because we don't meet the cow in person, but we could meet this lady in person and look her in the eye, and that would be an extremely uncomfortable moment for most people. Because we don't like the idea of our precious human selves as the "commodity" that we have made animals into.

I personally think this is right up there with art in its thought-provoking possibilities.

[TwilightGardener]

291. "We don't meet the cow in person"?? Um...there's people, and then there's animals.

And show me a mammal species in which the adult lactating female feeds the rest of that adult population with her milk (rather than just her own offspring--and that's only for a short time).

[Trillo]

293. A sweet version of Queso Fresco!

It's probably just a matter of time until someone makes Imitation Human Cheese.

312. Only some of them

the rest of them enjoy the spectacle. :rofl:

[paparush]

296. Must be a very sweet cheese.

[Writer]

308. Every squeeze is saaa-cred.

[AB_Positive]

309. I'd try it. No joke.

Seriously, if you've ever had cow milk, then you've had milk. Milk is milk. Cheese is Cheese. Well, ok, some cheese is really oil, but MOST cheese is cheese.

If you're vegan or some such classification of Non-meat eater then I totally get the disgust. But... frankly I'd rather have milk produced by a human than a non-human given the choice. Mainly because it'd mean that the milk was MEANT to be consumed by a human and thus easier to digest.

I'm not about to fly to NY and pay whatever crazy amount it costs... but if someone offered me cheese and I ate it, then later found out it was made from breastmilk, I'd go "Wow... weird." and move on.

Y'all are too prissy, and this is from someone that hates getting a spot of mud on their shoe.

[arcadian]

310. kick

the booby cheese habit

[Initech]

317. Put two of those sundaes right next to each other and they'd look like boobs.

[Toasterlad]

318. Gross.

[KansDem]

321. So if someone says to this entrepreneur, "I like eating your wife!"

He shouldn't be punched in the face?

[NickB79]

322. Watch out when he gets an entire herd assembled

We might have to add a few new lines to "Old McDonald Had A Farm"....

And a breast breast here and a breast breast there.

Here a breast, there a breast, everywhere a breast breast.

[Renew Deal]

327. Yeah, I'm kicking it.

It's too much fun to let it drift away easily.
