My wife once saw the milkman slumped in his float. She ran out in her pyjamas to see if he was OK. Turned out he was having a nap. She thought he'd had a heart attack.

Poor milkman just needing a rest after delivering "his milk" to all those local women. All part of the service. :D
 
Milk is my fav no alcoholic drink by far. White russian is my favourite alcoholic drink. My mum has started buying redmilk but it's just white water :(
 
My fiancees family are quality dairy farmers. Free guernsey milk and straight from the cow. Its quite the marriage perk.

Homogenisation breaks the fat molecules down to smaller, more even sizes, which prevents separation (good for the consumer) and increases shelf life (good for the retailer, and the consumer). It doesn't HAVE to be homogenised, it doesn't even HAVE to be pasteurised, its what we have come to expect from our clinical sterile socio-environment.

There are risks associated with drinking unpasteurised milk, particularly Listeria causing complications in pregancy HOWEVER, the herds that produce milk in this country are heavily controlled, regulated, tested and maintained. Who has never eaten cake mixture from the bowl, it contains raw egg but the lion standard guarantees its saftey.

But then again, drinking the lactations of a herd animal is pretty wtf.

We gave up with the milkman after he ended up delivering later than 8:30am some days when no one was in the house. Lovely getting home in the afternoon to a rather smelly bottle of milk on the doorstep..

Jersey Gold Top milk from Waitrose (and probably loads of other places) is nice for this.

In fact in a hot chocolate it is amazing. Unhomogenised too...I think?

Annoyingly, you cannot get unhomogenised milk from Jersey Dairy here in the Island itself. For proper, huge lumps of cream, gold milk (where the MI of milk stands for myocardial infarction) you have to buy direct from one of the few remaining indepenent herds. The flavour of that is incredible.

I would say it's probably market demand, because homogenisation doesn't have to be carried out on milk. It'll be the same pathetic market demand that has resulted in us having flavourless nutritionless fat-free milk on the shelves, driven by the sort of people who will only eat the breast meat on a chicken, who don't like read meat or any kind of meat with bones in because it makes them squeamish, who things that a dob of butter will kill them etc etc. I could rant on, I have a real problem with this situation.
 
our milkman delivers silver topped milk that hasnt been homogonised and hes always delivered it by 5am although we always forget to bring it in.

never tried gold top though shall have to investigate this sounds lovely :)
 
Those "creamy bits" that you're so fond of make me feel sick. Honestly, there's nothing that ruins the fun of pouring milk onto a cowl of cereal more than witnessing lumps of the stuff piling on the top :(

Urrrrgh!
