Question about milk.

[ACDCROCKS]

My dad bought brand new milk and I made a choc milk drink. Noticed "cream" rise on top of the drink. What is this stuff? It white and the milk goes bad on 1-27-08
thanks

[the_incubus]

drink it. if it tastes bad or you get a stomach ache you know it was bad.

[steved110]

It's probably some fake nutrient/ dubious additive mixed into the chocolate, put there to make expensive ingredients go further - ie make a fast buck for the manufacturer. check out the ingredients on the side if the packet if you care that much...

BTW it's probably some sort of fat deposit, and pretty unhealthy by the sound of it - imagine what it will do to your arteries!

[Mark_Cohran]

Did you take a picture of it? :)

[the_incubus]

JUST DRINK IT!!!! :D

ACDCROCKS,
Might be un homogenized (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homogenized) milk, fat (cream) normally rises to the surface in un homogenized (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homogenized) milk.

Having grown up on a dairy farm, worked in the plant as well, although it has been awhile so I may not be remembering correctly.

Could be cream...
Does it smell fresh, if so it is probably still fresh, but if it smells bad, then it probably is bad.
If the "Cream" is chunky looking then it is probably bad.

Milk can go bad early for multiple reasons.
- too much Sun (not necessarily temperature - We learned this one the hard way) usually happens with the old glass bottles, but rarely with plastic and almost never with paper containers.
- Then there is temperature, occasionally the trucks refer went down and the delivery guy didn't bother to report it until after he delivered everything because he was lazy, this frequently resulted in penalized or fired driver.
- Very rarely something slips through the multi-step checking process.

Lastly it could be a case of some hard to see residue at the bottom of the glass before pouring the milk into it, or bad cocoa.

and for a final bit of trivia, if milk is properly pastuerized and then handled it should actually be safe to drink for over two weeks past it's date, but that presumes proper temperature during all aspects of transit and storage. Of course super pasterized milk will last even longer, but that is because they took all the little bacterias out of it. Bacteria are a large portion of what make the milk's taste the way it does.

hope that helps in some fashion,

Milk's pretty horrible for you. Switch to Silk. It's good! I now greatly prefer it on cereal to cow's poison.

[lostdoggy]

Silk has its downside as well. For one way to much high frutose. The Soybean are geneticly alter and all sorts of organic fertilizer is use to help yield gains.

The required protocol is to bring someone else into the kitchen, offer them the container and say "Smell This..."

so did ya drink it?

There is no way your still contemplating this dilemma. :)

this is so ironic,. :lol:

Milk in it's natural state separates in the bottle. The Cream rises to the top..

If the milk does not smell bad, than likely the homogenization did not "take" as well as usual.

[Jamie Holladay]

drink it. if it tastes bad or you get a stomach ache you know it was bad.
Izak that is just wrong.
Did you take a picture of it? :)
Yeah where is the photo?

[the_incubus]

Psh, thats how real men do it. :D

Unless your nose is totally hosed, it isn't hard to spot milk that has gone a touch too far. Even if you don't have a great sniffer, even a little taste will let you know if something has gone a bit funky. It is not all that unusual to have a slight separation of the components, even in homogenized products.

[Ronald S. Jr.]

How are the beans genetically altered? Also, what's wrong with organic fertilizer? I don't care how much they use. Oh, and high fructose? What the hell? Where'd you see that? It's sweetened with evaporated cane juice, one of the healthier sweeteners you could eat. Far better than the sugar in milk. Oh, and you won't get Omega 3's and [the proper kind of] protein from milk. It's animal protein mixed with the calcium, etc., which actually serves to strip calcium from your system.

How 'bout that? Milk is bad for your bones.

Gasp!!! Somebody actually noticed something I said!!!

Floaties kill 34 photographers every year. Don't be that guy.

To the OP--

The small residue at the top of your chocolate milk may be cream or butter fat, or it may be from the chocolate powder/syrup you used. In either case, it's most likely harmless.

If it's from the powder/syrup you used, it may be corn starch or corn sugar (if you used the cheap stuff), or it may be cocoa butter (if you used the good stuff).

In either case, it won't hurt you.

Enjoy your chocolate milk.

To those overly worried about what's in the stuff you eat--

Only a person with gout knows the evil behing the label "Pure Tomato Catsup."

Anyone know about the best way to cook sausages? Oven or grill?

Wrong kind of white fluid.

Sausages are best cooked on a wood fire in a cast iron skilet.

I'm personally fond of boiling them in beer, then grilling over an oak fire. Gas or charcoal will do in a pinch. Works especially well with bratwurst........

That just sounds far to Jamie Oliver for me.
Besides, when your sausages are made from hand feed beef, all you need is a little tomato sauce for flavour :)

That made me burst out laughing, I'm glad I wasn't drinking milk at the time. For the record, one of our dining halls in my college is called 'Melinda Seamen', or 'Seamen' for short. It took a few weeks to get used to the phrase:

'Seamen for dinner?'

[ACDCROCKS]

my my. From milk, to sausage to beer, random but anyway. Milk is 90% water. Evidently since it was so cold and bringing it into heat it must of seperated. And the rest is god knows what, I don't care, it tastes good. As far as not liking something because it's "bad" for you, hell, the air we breathe will give us cancer. Time for floyd, and a stogie. Goodnight

I have become, comfortably numb.....


I have a suspicion that milk makes a showing in the Wall?
I'm fairly sure there are no sausages though.
