Swiss Restaurant Serves Breast Milk Menu
Photograph by voodooangel on Flickr Probably not what you wanted to hear while pouring the skim milk over the Raisin Bran this morning, but Hans Locher of the Storchen restaurant in Switzerland was requesting breast milk for a special menu—until he got banned. Zürcher Geschnetzeltes, a traditional Swiss dish with meat hunks in a creamy sauce, for example, could have been flavored with someone else's mom! Locher was first inspired 35 years ago when his wife had surplus milk lying around after his daughter's birth. Cows, goats, humans: one of these things is not like the other....In Videos: Chalk Fight Scene in Japan Dairy Council Ad
What does a student-teacher brawl involving launched chalk missiles with Matrix-like martial arts moves and music have to do with dairy? After watching it four times, I still don't really know. But maybe somebody out there wants to drink milk and eat cheese after watching this. Video, after the jump....Soy Milk or Cow's Milk: Which Is More Eco-Friendly?
Whenever I admit to drinking soy milk, I immediately add a qualifier: "Only in coffee and cereal. Sometimes. I swear." I don't want to be pegged as a freaky full-time soy-milk drinker because at the core, I identify with "regular" milk. From cows. But every so often there's something about soy milk, especially vanilla, that adds a nice twist to an otherwise sludgy coffee. No offense to furry critters, but I don't drink soy milk for animal rights reasons or anything Mother Nature-related. I drink it because in certain contexts, it's really good. So when Slate reported this week that soy milk isn't necessarily better than cow's milk from an eco-perspective, I appreciated the insight but wasn't any less likely...New Green Milk Jug Design Cuts Costs But Is Difficult to Pour
The gallon milk container has a new look at Wal-Mart and Costco—one that's designed to cut shipping costs, be more environmentally friendly, and keep milk fresher. It also costs less, at $2.18 at one Sam's Club, down from $2.58. There's been some crying, though: Some customers complain that the boxy and spoutless shape makes them "feel like novices at the simple task of pouring a glass of milk." In fact, the jugs have caused so many gripes that Sam's Club now holds in-store demonstrations with milk and cookies to teach customers how to pour milk:...Happy Cows Have Flat-Screen TVs
Flat-screen TVs and waterbeds are two of the comforts enjoyed by Kirk Christie's dairy cows on his farm in Iowa. The idea behind the frills is that cows will make more milk if they feel more comfortable—"Christie estimates his cows' milk production has increased 10 percent since he installed the waterbeds." Watching TV helps the cows get used to different kinds of voices, which prevents them from getting as nervous when they have to hear the different voice of people who visit the barn. Christie isn't the only farmer using this method to increase his milk production—the idea to use waterbeds on dairy farms originated in Europe more than a decade ago.

Photograph taken by Jason Santa Maria It can be hard to find a good source of milk juice these days, but head over to Bridge Apothecary in Brooklyn and you can get all the milk juice you could ever want! I mean, just look at how authoritative that sign is. To me it doesn't just say, "WE NOW SELL MILK JUICE"—it screams, "YOU WANT TO BUY OUR MILK JUICE!"...Got Milk? 2.0
Milk got cool when that guy, his mouth stuffed with peanut butter, answered a muffled “Aaron Burr” to the radio's Alexander Hamilton trivia question. (He lost because he didn’t gots milk). Then the string of celebs tattooed with milk ‘staches filled the pages of major national magazines, everyone from Batman to the Olsen twins were drinking it. Now the brains behind milk advertising are at it again, with a spoof band called White Gold, already with 3,000 MySpace friends. Everything about the page looks real, sounds real, and the band logged in today, just like any other MySpace band. The long-haired, wannabe Cobain frontman even blogs and wants you to buy his band's vintage-looking tees. Only difference is this...In Videos: Blur's 'Coffee & TV'
If you don't think milk can be adorable, you probably haven't seen Blur's music video for "Coffee and TV" which follows a doe-eyed anthropomorphic milk carton as he searches for his missing person. What craziness will our dairy-filled friend encounter? Find out after the jump....Is Raw Milk Safe? Which Side Are You On?
The New York Times weighs in on the raw milk controversy more than six months after our coverage began. In January of this year on Serious Eats Nathalie Jordi linked to a fascinating story in Salon that dramatically depicts the starkly different positions of raw milk advocates and opponents. Raw milk proponents claim that not only is it safe to drink, it can cure and reduce the effects of debilitating diseases like eczema, arthritis, and asthma. The subject of the Times story, Nina Planck, is a passionate raw milk advocate. The Centers for Disease Control is equally emphatic about the potential hazards of drinking raw milk, citing evidence that in recent years, children and adults have contracted E. coli and...Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
