I was in the middle of making dinner when this happened. I’m grateful I poured it into a measuring cup first. Thankfully I don’t live too far from another source.

I remember milk staying good almost a week past its expiration date when I was a kid. Boy have the times changed.

    maybe you should just stop buying the mammary fluid of tortured animals altogether! edit: looks like this suggestion has upset some folks who think breastfeeding from an animal with no choice is super cool, no matter what it does to said animal, their own health, or the climate; do better.

        Serious question, I wonder if a healthy lactating human mother’s milk could be substituted in recipes. I’m sure there must be a non-zero chance in the course of history that someone has tried it.

          If she lives in a patriarchal society, then the culture doesn’t allow her to truly consent to giving up her milk for anyone but her own consumption, and that’s assuming she doesn’t do work or volunteering that somehow furthers the patriarchy.

          Or something unhinged like that.

          It’s still milk. Tastes different though. Probably has a different consistency. Can’t say I’ve had any recently though. So, works as a simple milk substitute, kind of, maybe works for other dairy products.

          I remember in a random German movie it being a minor plot point that a mother uses her own milk for her coffee

          Human milk tastes different. Some say it tastes a little like canteloupe juice. I thought mine made my coffee taste…odd. Never tried it in baking though.

        that would be so hilarious if it weren’t reliant on the violent victimization of another sentient being; so close!

      Nah, it’s your sanctimoniousness that earned you your downvotes. Had you just said, “Try oat milk, it lasts longer without spoiling” or something like that, people would be more likely to respond positively than when you roll in just judging people. Prick.
