Real milk!
I take my coffee black and prefer yoghurt on my cereal but an opportunity to buy real milk locally ... how cool is that?
It's real Jersey milk, unhomogenised, from a family dairy not all that far away. It comes in recyclable bottles with a screw-on lid. The cream sits on the top, you actually have to shake the bottle to distribute the cream. Alternatively -- and I have considered this -- you could scrape out that knob of cream and make the tiniest amount of butter.
Or, as I do at the moment, you could stroke and admire the bottle. Then you could think about whether you want to make yoghurt or cheese. Then, when you are finished, you could consider what to use the empty bottle for, should it be homemade pasatta or herbed oil?
Then again you could simply look at the label and consider the perfect name: Udder Farm. You could get up during the night, open the fridge door and contemplate the entire product.
$4.95 for real milk in a recyclable/reusable bottle?
I've died and gone to heaven.
how delicious it looks, have you tasted it yet?

How cool, milk in a glass bottle!
ReplyDeleteOh how lucky. I'd love to be able to get this. I remember as a kid milk coming to my parents home like this & the cream sitting on the top. Hugs,
ReplyDeleteWe are not allowed to buy real milk here such a shame. I remember drinking heaps of it while pregnant with my daughter. I got it straigh from the dairy. Didn't do me or her any harm and it tasted like heaven. Enjoy
ReplyDeleteYum Rose! You are so lucky :)
ReplyDeleteWe were reared on cow's milk, mum milked a cow for years and years. There used to be a fight over the cream on the top between the kids and hubby, it was totally divine on fresh bread and jam!
I miss the fresh milk...

...there was always a bit of race to see who got to the milk first when I was a kid...first in had cream on their cereal!
ReplyDeleteoh how I miss real milk. Up until I was 17 I lived on a dairy farm (mainly Jerseys) we used to go to the vat and dip a jug in to get the milk, the cream was to die for.
ReplyDeleteRose, I love real milk...nothing else compares! Just think of all the possibilities...
ReplyDeleteRose, I've never drunk raw milk...not sure I could handle it on a sensitive stomach. Hannah just asked me a week or so ago about the possibility of us buying a cow share for the milk. I asked her Who would drink it??? I'm sure she'd do it for sure for all the health benefits! And she'd probably say raw milk would be great for sensitive stomachs!
ReplyDeleteI love that bottle though!! I collect antique milk bottles...smaller than that one or so it seems from the photo. I keep four in my bedroom window so i can see them when I'm sitting and reading. I don't blame you for contemplating the bottle and what else you could use it for!
Yum, fresh milk! At my last job there was a Jersey dairy family farm in the same town, and I would stop there now and then for a treat. Or lots of treats; they made ice cream too. They charged a deposit on you "first" milk bottle, so you'd remember to bring it back for reuse.
ReplyDeleteFresh cream on top...mmmm.
