Restaurant serves breast-milk cheese

[jnelsoninjax]

NEW YORK, March 9 (UPI) -- A New York chef said public demand led him to allow diners at his restaurant to sample homemade cheese made from his wife's breast milk.

Klee Brasserie chef Daniel Angerer, who once beat famed cook Bobby Flay on TV's "Iron Chef," said his regular customers became curious after he started blogging about his accomplishments with human-produced cheese, the New York Post reported Tuesday.

"The phone was ringing off the hook," Angerer said. "So I prepared a little canape of breast-milk cheese with figs and Hungarian pepper."

Lori Mason, the chef's wife, said some customers are reluctant to sample the breast-milk cheese.

"I think a lot of the criticism has to do with the combination of sex and cheese, but ... the breast is there to make food," Mason said.

Others, she said, take their curiosity a bit too far past her comfort level.

"Some people who clearly have issues have ... e-mailed me saying, 'I wasn't breast-fed as a child, so can I taste your breast milk?'" she said.

A city Department of Health spokesman said local codes do not explicitly forbid distribution of cheese made from breast milk but the restaurant has been advised not to serve the substance.

I'd be interested to know how he managed to make cheese from breast milk. I actually looked this up once and it is essentially impossible because breast milk does not curdle the same way that cow or goat milk does.

Heard on the radio the other day that he doesnt actually sell this at his restaurant since it would be considered a health risk/issue

No Just No :x

Why is there an association with sex at all?

If she's infected with some disease, maybe; but if not, just how is it a health issue? And how is that any different from cows or goats that we generally use for milk?

The human body is intended to ingest human milk, NOT the animal milks that we DO ingest. That's why we have so many people with lactose tolerance issues. If anything, human milk should be far better for you than animal milk is... Just pasturise it, if you're that worried. :p

Something like this wouldn't surprised me at all.China and Middle East Asia they have better horrible taste than this

Maybe his wife has extra big breasts?

Breast size has absolutely no impact on the amount of milk produced. Some women just produce more milk than others. Their diet can affect the amount of milk production as well.

hahaha...!!! excellent! dunno if i would sample.... depends what she looks like!!! hottie or nottie ???

Actually, a newborn baby is "intended" to ingest breast milk. Nutrient-wise, it isn't that much better than cow's milk (for example). It's the non-nutritional components that benefit a newborn baby. Things like hormones, antibodies, and digestive enzymes. Also, what do you mean by "lactose tolerance issues"? If you meant lactose intolerance, then no - it isn't caused by the ingestion of animal milk.

As for this story, I find it a little odd that he'd make cheese from breast milk.

omg nasty!! :pinch: Why would you sell something like this?

If that's the case, then why do Japanese people, who only in the last couple of decades have started to use dairy products, have a MUCH higher incidence of lactose intolerance?

Simple, it's because they're not acclimatised to consuming animal dairy products, unlike most of the rest of the world.

Acclimation has nothing to do with it. That isn't the the proper term to be using as that refers to adapting to a climate. It's known that lactose intolerance is high in Asian populations. The most notable reason for this is genetics. Basically, babies in Asian countries lose the ability to break down lactose after their weaning period. This isn't the case in other populations in the Middle East, Europe, and some parts of Africa. Some say that a single mutation spread throughout Europe (with similar mutations occurring in some parts of Africa) that allowed adults to continue producing lactase. And if I remember correctly, such a trait was dominant meaning it could spread throughout a gene pool quite easily.

Anyway, I was talking to a friend about this story the other day and it made me realize something. Breast milk may be healthy and all for a newborn child, but there are a lot of risks involved. Diseases could easily be transmitted through breast milk. Even traces of prescription drugs can make its way into breast milk.

Breast Milk isn't intended for "human" use, like Anaron said, also.. I don't think if there are risks if you eat human flesh/meat, but it's still wrong, same goes for breast milk, except you've had your chance :p

It's a quite nasty idea... Yuck...
