Breast milk ice cream
 
Would you eat it?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-12569011

A restaurant in London's Covent Garden is serving a new range of ice cream, made with breast milk.

The dessert, called Baby Gaga, is churned with donations from 15 women who responded to an advertisement on an online mothers' forum.

One of the women, Victoria Hiley, 35, said if adults realised how tasty breast milk was more new mothers would be encouraged to breastfeed.

Each serving of Baby Gaga at Icecreamists costs £14.

Mrs Hiley's donation was expressed on site and pasteurised before being churned with Madagascan vanilla pods and lemon zest.
Icecreamists founder Matt O'Connor placed an advert appealing for breast milk donations and believes his new recipe will be a success......

....Mrs Hiley, who gets £15 for every 10 ounces of milk she donates to the company, said it was a great "recession beater".

"What's the harm in using my assets for a bit of extra cash?" she added


I suspect the answer is no; as much for the price as anything else.

Read about it. Apparently it sold out on the first day.

I wouldn't.

Whilst it's true cow milk is still a bodily fluid, there are some lines we don't cross and making ice cream out of breast milk is one of those lines. What's next? Ice cream out of sperm?

One of my friends once made me a cup of coffee and had run out of cows milk, so she used breast milk (she had some in the fridge she didn't express it just for me as that would be reallllllly odd!)- I had one sip and then she told me- I didn't drink a drop more- its weird. So no I wouldn't try it. Yuck!

Ethos- you could call it Spunky Monkey by Ben and Jerry and about 200 other men. ( 200 is just a random number I picked- no idea how much sperm you would need to make a pint of ice cream).

Would a man eating ice cream made out of sperm make him gay?

I vaguely remember a story of a woman being really ill after eating a chinese takeaway when they sent it off to be checked for food poisoning the results came (pun) back with loads of different mens spunk in it. I am sure this goes on far more than anyone should think about!

And no it does not make you gay- homosexuality is a sexual orientation- not the act of swallowing sperm.

based on the supposed 10cc (where the band also took their name from) per bloke - to make 1 pint you need approx 57 blokes (or if making a US pint only 47 blokes).

Lovely.

Well, technically, sperm isn't meant to be consumed for sustenance, but milk (from any mammal) is, ergo, sperm is cream would be totally wrong but milk ice-cream wouldn't. We already get cow's and goat's milk ice-cream... I'm sure I've seen camel milk ice cream before too... so why not?

It's the same social conditioning that makes some people feel breastfeeding (in public or in general) is repulsive that triggers the "disgusted" response. Objectively, it's probably better for us (even adults) than cow's milk ice-cream, but yet... well, I wouldn't either. There are very complex issues attached to the idea.
