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.

The waiter asked her "you like tongue?"

When a waiter asked my wife that, I punched him out. You mean he was asking about food?

Sorta like Lutefisk massaged onto a wet sheepdog.

"The paunch is the stomach. Enjoy!"

Now that's interesting. Is that where the term, "he sure has a big paunch" come from? Never knew what paunch was. Sounds icky though.

As an aside, my local supermarket has a little sign reminding us that, "eggs are a low carb food". Do they raise the chickens on the Atkins diet or something?

LOL. Yes, and they feed cheese and eggs to cows. ;-)

Sheep stomach stuffed with oatmeal and boiled till it almost doesn't smell like sheep guts anymore.

You left out the most critical ingredient of the stuffing, ground sheep's lung.

Yeah? Call me crazy, but how is my Kitty going to LOVE a fish burp coming from me? I'm having a problem visualizing what the cat is going to do next!

Hmm.. The third picture is a half eaten goat head with salad. It might not be resizing it for you (the other two weren't resized). What browser/system are you using? You may be able to see the full size pic:

Lots of purrring and attempts to lick your face. Now don't tell me it's just because my cat is really, really weird? uhhhhhh, actually, that is possible. She thinks she's a dog. She was raised in the Arctic and had never seen another cat before, only dogs.

I guess this is to balance their favorite snack of deep-fried Snickers bars.

Is there anything worse than lutefisk?

Yes. Ignunaq

(Fermented Walrus Meat - Take a bunch of walrus meat, at over a ton, there is lots. Wrap it in the hide tightly. Dig a hole on a beach and bury it. Wait six months or so. Eat... or not.)

The stuff has an odour. She had to wash her hands with toothpaste, then catsup at the end of the night to remove -sadly- only most of the odour. The meat has not been cooked. Only rotted.

I'm not a vegetarian, but I don't want to see eyes looking back at me while I'm eating. Ugh.
