except milk...duh?! Mothers feed baby's milk...but the adults don't drink it.

Breast milk cheese?

Although I'm not horrified by the idea, I can understand why others find the idea uncomfortable. Adult humans aren't used to (publicly) ingesting anything that comes out of other human bodies.

@ thepictsie:

That's a fair question. And, in all honesty, I can't give you a rational answer.

It's kind of like . . . Why am I deathly afraid of snakes, when I am not afraid of taking on any human being on the planet??

Doesn't compute, psychologically :>)

DocChuck, seriously, why is it so disturbing? I really, truly want to know.

Damn! I hope that this thread has about run its course.

I cannot stomach too much more talk about "fried human placenta with bacon & onions", and "human breast milk cheese."

I mean, in my humble opinion, human breasts (female, that is) are beautiful creations and should be handled properly (when they are NOT busy feeding infants).

But give me a break . . . "cheese???"

And, chameleonz, why did you need to publish your comment SIX times?

Maybe Adam can fix the bug in the software?????

Time to leave for the "Sopranos' Finale Party"

I will devote some additional thought to, and observation of, female human breasts while at the party --- ;>)

You actually can make cheese from breast milk. However, it takes a savvy engineer to do it. Ask Jonathan White. He's done it.

Well it's gotta taste better than fried human placenta with bacon & onions.
There is actually a cookbook that was printed in England that included this recipe.
It is actually alot more common than you might think but still
very disgusting.

ditto, thepictsie
Is it less weird that we suck down gallons of milk out of cows' udders? That makes us both the only species that consumes milk past infancy AND the only species that consumes the milk of another species. Face it, we are freaky.
We might as well consume the milk of our own species if we're going to at all. At least that cuts out half the freaky.
The vegans have got it right.

Why are people so disgusted by breast milk?

I am not kidding when I say that someone who used to work with Alton Brown told me that Alton made cheese from his wife's breast milk. Urban legend? Maybe. Believable though? I wouldn't doubt it that he would try it if the thought occurred to him.
