OK so my local Tesco Metro has shut down for a few weeks so workmen can refurnish it or somefink (i.e. sit around smoking and gawp at ladies wotnots) so I obtained (by means of monetary exchange) some milk from the organic shop (which is all of a sudden doing some good business) next door.


I skipped home anticipating a delicious bowl of cereal with some lovely fresh milk.... yum!

NO!!!

I did not get a delicious bowl of cereal with some lovely fresh milk instead when I looked down at my bowl I found amongst the milky goodness, big white goblets of 'stuff' where lovely white liquid should be!

Quite frankly it was like Satan himself had released his winky sauce all over my lovely breakfast!

Having never purchased anything organic before is this normal or was I just unlucky?

Either way, I fear I may never look another cornflake in the face again

I would take it back. It has obviously gone off.

The organic milk I buy is the same as ostrogen indoctrinated milk only without the added ostrogen. It also tastes creamier if you buy in Tesco's.

There are two possibilities.
a) Your organic milk is full-cream, not skimmed or semi-skimmed, and you didn't shake it first. Hence you got cream and whey on your cornflakes rather than milk.
b) The milk's gone off (in which case it will smell/taste horrible)

Organic milk is not different from ordinary milk in terms of the actual stuff - the cows are fed on organic grass and cattle feed, that's all. So theoretically it has fewer chemical in it.

So it's just indoctrinated milk?

Do they like brain wash the cows?

That clinches it - I'm sticking to good old tesco semi-skimmed!


I'm not ready for this milk buying minefield malarky

It can only be called organic if it's produced on a farm that's been certified by one of the recognised UK certification bodies. Lots of information about what this requires here on the Organic Milk Suppliers' Cooperative's web site.

Mmmmmm

I did shake it cos I saw some globules before I opened it - I'm pretty sure the milk was semi-skimmed.

So maybe I was just unlucky.

Thanks!

Just the thought of it makes me go

You shouldn't get whey in ordinary or organic milk, surely? Isn't whey a by-product of making cheese or junket? Whey's the thin runny stuff anyway, as I understand it, as opposed to curds.

Cream in non-homogenized milk just tends to rise to the top rather than form blobs. Isn't almost all milk, including organic, sold homogenized nowadays — certainly from supermarkets.

I'd agree with your second suggestion — that the milk's gone off. Organic supermarket milk doesn't look any different from the ordinary stuff, in my experience.

No Whey?

Excellent (dude)

Try goats milk instead.

Deliciously creamy.

It's the creamyness I don't like unfortunately.

I hate all creamy foodstuffs - why anyone would put sour cream on delicious chilli for example is beyond me!
