Fishy milk hits shelves in boost for healthy living [fish oil added to "Super Milk" in Scotland]
The Scotsman.com ^ | May 24, 2005 | LOUISE BARNETT

A "SUPERMILK" containing Omega 3 fatty acids derived from oily fish is to go on sale this week.

It is produced by cows which are given a special fish oil blend along with their normal feed. A 250ml serving contains ten times more of the Omega 3 acids known as DHA and EPA than regular milk but is said to taste the same.

Omega 3 fatty acids tackle heart disease and ensure healthy nails, hair and skin.


Claire Williamson, a nutrition scientist at the British Nutrition Foundation, said many people in the UK do not eat the recommended one portion per week of oily fish.

"Consuming oily fish is linked to a decreased risk of heart disease," she said.

"A healthy, balanced diet is the best approach and I would encourage people to eat oily fish, but if people don't like it we have to look at alternatives."

According to the Food Standards Agency, Omega 3 fatty acids are found in certain vegetable oils, but these may not have the same benefits as those in fish. The Fresh Omega 3 milk will go on sale at Marks & Spencer this week.

"A FReeper advised me to get the Omega 3 Fish Oil capsuls that have a COATING on them.
I bought it at Sams. Pricy, but VERY worth it. No fish burps ever :)"

My cat loves fish burps.

Apparently Long John Silver's has infiltrated Scotland.

"can't be much worse than lutefisk"

Is there anything worse than lutefisk? I'm from a long line of Norwegians who actually eat that stuff. When I grew up and moved away I swore I'd never eat it again. I think Norwegians just eat it to prove how tough they are. LOL

(actually, if it's served piping hot and dipped in fresh butter, it's not THAT bad) Someone help me! LOL

From all the terrible things I've heard about haggis, the recipe doesn't look too bad.

But what is paunch ? Is it the lung, or does it get worse?

Like Soul Food interpreted by the English, or in the High School Cafeteria from Hell.

It goes well with anything strong enough to cover the taste.

Yea, no kidding. I guess eating all that lutefisk growing up sure built my character. Some say I became a character. LOL
