When I milked the cows I drank their warm milk directly. I didn't
suck their teats, I would have except my grandmother told me it
wouldn't be clean. I found out that grandpa sucked grandma's teats.

We will have to wait for Popeye (AKA penfart, brooklyn et al) to rule on
this, as he is the only person that knows everything. In the meantime, I
reckon Bruce will give us the ingredient list.

I hope Ms Bove waits to get the Popeye analysis and doesn't try it
before experts advise her.

Yahsuh, they have long, long thick leathery nipples, just like yoose wife.

Popeye, did yoose ever mount one of those cows after yoose milked them?

Oat milk? or Goat Milk? Goat milk is delicious, especially right after
you have freshly milked the goat, filtered any any stray particles that
may have fallen in the bucket, then chill the nectar (naturally
homogenized, mind you).

If oat milk, then I dare say that one would need alot of the kernels to
make a gallon, let alone 2 gallons, since I buy milk 2 gallons at a time.

It was invented in Switzerland, originally it was a "convalescent food":

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ovaltine

'Ovaltine was developed in Bern, Switzerland, where it is known by its original name, Ovomaltine (from ovum, Latin for "egg," and malt, which were originally its main ingredients). Soon after its invention, the factory moved out to the village of Neuenegg, a few kilometres west of Bern, where it is still produced.

Ovomaltine was exported to Britain in 1909; a misspelling of the name on the trademark registration application[citation needed] led to the name being shortened to Ovaltine in English-speaking markets. A factory was built in Kings Langley, which exported it to the United States as well. By 1915, Ovaltine was being manufactured in Villa Park, Illinois, for the U.S. market. Ovaltine was later manufactured in Peterborough, Ontario for distribution in Canada.

Originally advertised as consisting solely of "malt, milk, eggs, flavoured with cocoa", the formulation has changed over the decades, and today several formulations are sold in different parts of the world. In India and UK, it no longer contains eggs...'

>
> Wasn't Ovaltine the sponsor for "Sky King" or was it "My Friend Flicka"
> or perhaps another show??


"It's SKY KING - with PENNY...!!!" IIRC Sky King drove a 1955 Chrysler station wagon...

IIRC there's a scene in the 1984 flick "A Christmas Story" where the little boy eagerly awaits a "prize" from Ovaltine, he was a Little Orphan Annie fan:

'The U.S. children's radio series Little Orphan Annie (1931€“1940) and Captain Midnight (1938€“1949), and the subsequent Captain Midnight TV series (1954€“1956), were sponsored by Ovaltine. They had promotions in which listeners could save proofs-of-purchase from Ovaltine jars to obtain radio premiums, such as "secret decoder ring" badges, or pins that could be used to decode messages in the program. Children from the time may remember that "Ovaltine" is an anagram for "Vital One"...'

Same here. My mother made us drink milk as kids and that is the last
time I had any. I don't eat cereal with milk either. I will use it as
an ingredient and like vanilla ice cream though.

I'll bet grandpa loved milking that cow. Tell the truth, you'd have
enjoyed being milked a few times a day.

On DirecTV it will air Saturday, June 30, on channel 538 at 7:00 a.m.
(Outlaw's Reward) and at 7:28 a.m. (Grubstake). The times I quoted are
for CST. Channel 538 is Encore Westerns.

One of my earliest memories is of my mother making me sit at the
kitchen table until I drank my glass of milk. When I got to be an
adult and still hated milk, she could not understand why. To this day,
I just can't put the stuff in my mouth.

I do cook with milk, and I like all milk products except plain milk.
I'd be interested in trying coconut or almond milk sometime. Just to
see how it tastes.

I can't say that I have memories of being traumatized by milk. Perhaps I
have successfully repressed them. While my brothers had milk with their
supper, I usually had tea instead. I don't hate milk. I just don't think
of it as a beverage.

I cook with it and I still use it occasionally on cereal. I tried a
glass of almond milk the first time I bought it, just to see what it was
like. Being a substitute for something I would not normally drink, I
was not expecting much. I tried it on cereal and it was quite
acceptable. I was much more impressed with the oat milk on cereal.

Thank you Einstein. We established that fact 7 or 8 hours ago, but

I like cold water but never ice water. In the winter, tap water
is the perfect temperature for me. In the summer, I will put ONE
icecube into a 20 glass of tap water. That cools it down nicely
but not super cold.

I sometimes like a glass of cold milk with a meal but never just
on it's own. My mother said she drinks a glass of warmed milk
right before bedtime to help her sleep. arrghh! Warm milk sounds
really bad to me. heheh

Warm milk allegedly has a soporific affect but for me it would have to
be hot cocoa, not just warm milk. Milk is best when it's *very* cold.

Thanks, Dave! I know you don't like to drink milk but like Joan, I sort
of feel lost if I don't have milk in the refrigerator. Still, the
frequency of my using up a half a gallon of milk (for cooking or
drinking) varies. Sometimes I can go through a half a gallon in a week
(and wish I'd bought a gallon!). Other times that Best By date creeps
up on me and I discover a couple of days after that date oh no, the milk
has soured. (Slightly soured milk is fine for making cornbread, BTW.)
Maybe I'll start buying the lactose free stuff just so I can be sure it
won't spoil before I can use it up.

Thank you (and Dave) for going to the trouble to look it up!

Sometimes I go through a half a gallon of milk lickety split. Other
times I'm sort of pushing to use/drink it before it starts to sour.
Maybe I'll start buying the lactose free milk instead. It tasted
exactly the same as regular 2% milk.

My wife has also brought home two litre (quart) cartons of 3.25% lactose
free milk which I enjoyed on cereal and with my latte. I had not looked
at the best before date, so I was concerned about using it up in time.
Now that I know about the extended shelf life I should be looking for it
in the 4 litre bags that are common here, because it tends to be so much
cheaper per unit amount. With regular milk, it is usually about $2.75
for one a litre carton, $3.50 for 2 litres, and $4.29 for 4 litres
(three 1.3 litre bags) . Since 4 litres will last three weeks or more
I found myself scrambling to use it up before the last bag went bad. It
might be worth getting it four litres at a time.

I like canned milk best for cooking and always have it on hand, milk not so
much anymore.
