One of the things that ruined full fat milk for me in the UK was the introduction of homogenised milk. It ruined my morning porridge where my dad and I would pour off the cream that settled at the top as a breakfast treat. Homogenisation spoiled that for us.
Full fat homogenised milk also created a greasy slick on top of any hot drink you added it to.
Since then I've only consumed semi-skimmed milk. It's a shame we mess about with perfectly good natural products such as milk.
- TausAmmer 13y agoYou have some farms in UK where you can buy raw milk, expensive - yes, but worth it. I can drink milk again :)
- aestra 13y agoSo wait, you can't just buy cream in the UK? What would be the difference than skimming it off the top? I'm also wondering if you can make your own non-homogenized milk by mixing the cream with the skim milk. Full fat milk is 4% cream.
- teh_klev 13y agoYes, you can buy cream on its own, but that wasn't what I was getting at. The point was that in non-homogenised milk, the cream naturally separated to the top of the bottle. It wasn't a lot, but just enough to make porridge better. It was a tradition/ritual thing. Also the cream wasn't as thick as say even single cream. I suspect (and no offence intended) you're a good few years younger than I am to have experienced these things. :)
- aestra 13y agoOh I know exactly what you're talking about. Just was making a suggestion. I am in my 30s I understand the physics completely and always did even before your post.
