CLIFTON, England, - A British woman who uses breast milk in food she serves to friends and sells to strangers said she turned to her own milk for its health benefits.
Abi Blake, 30, of Clifton, England, said her breast milk tarts, smoothies, lasagna, cheesecake and other dishes have proven popular with friends, family and customers for their health benefits and better taste, The Sun reported Thursday.
"Although the idea of eating something made out of someone else's breast milk may make some people's stomachs turn, it is full of vitamins that can never be found in cow's milk," Blake said. "I have managed to convert all my family who now adore my breast milk recipes and they all agree it tastes better."
Blake said her breast milk cupcakes have proven popular at multiple food festivals.
"Many customers were intrigued and thought it was a novelty," she said. "But what most people don't know is that breast milk contains nutrients that can help the immune system and even treat cancer. It is such a precious ingredient and if people would only try it, they would discover all its wonderful benefits."
It’s a supply-meets-demand sort-of mechanism. The best way for a new mother to lose the pounds!
Isn’t spotted dick (or any other dick) an Obama dish?
(rimshot)
I tried my wife's milk, just out of curiosity. It was very sweet and tasted nothing like baby formula, which, in my opinion, tastes disgusting.
I'm certain more men than care to admit have sampled their wives' milk as well.
I love the UK and the FISH AND CHIPPIES are awesome. Mushy Peas seem to cut the grease. :)
Makes me want to go back. My last visit, my hunk of fish was as big as my computer keyboard! Yummmmmy.
As for breast milk. When I breast fed my little one 25 years ago, my mams were huge and uncomfortable. I swear (sorry guys) ...they feel like they are going to explode when they’re full. However, it’s the best thing for baby and mommy’s baby recovery...so I would imagine it would also enhance any food!
Not if she was originally a he.
The English are rediscovering the traditional English counry food and seafood dishes. It’s very good IMO.
If she thinks it is so peachy, would she be as quick to eat her neighbor’s home cooked goods?
LOL!!!!!
“I’m certain more men than care to admit have sampled their wives’ milk as well.”
And other men’s wives, as well.
(sorry ;) )
You can actually buy “Spotted Dick” (in cans) at some American supermarkets that carry “international” foods.
Could there possibly be any less appetizing sounding food in the world?
Well, maybe if youre kinda on the gay side.
Even then, it doesn’t sound all that healthy.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but here's another British "delicacy"...
Not to worry. By the time he is 16 he will have a whole different attitude.
You’re right. You win. I surrender. I think I’ll go lie down.
LMAO!!!
I would consume her goods without hesitation.
