The Milk of Human Weirdness
The French will smack their lips over just about anything they can shove in their mouths -- snails, frogs, coagulated pig's blood stuffed into an intestine, songbirds drowned in Armagnac.
So what about breast milk cheese? Mais bien sur!
A factory in France called Le Petit Singly claims to sell "l'authentique fromage au lait maternel de femme":
Fondee en 1947, la fromagerie Cosma a su retrouver la richesse d'une tradition fermiere ancestrale Ardennaise oubliee jusqu'alors. En effet, Petit Singly, le seul fromage au lait maternel de femme, est longtemps reste dans l'ombre des specialites fromageres plus ordinaires a base de lait de vache, de chevre, ou de brebis.
Here's the translation, via Babel Fish:
Founded in 1947, the Cosma cheese dairy knew to find the richness of a farm tradition ancestral Ardennaise forgotten hitherto. Indeed, Small Singly, the only cheese with the mother's milk of woman, remained a long time in the shade of the more ordinary cheese-making specialities containing ewe or goat, cow's milk.
Of course, breast milk cheese, like all brilliant inventions, has its skeptics. But I choose to believe, because life is more interesting that way. Besides, I've already written most of this post.
Now you finally have a use for those expired packets of breast milk cluttering up your freezer.
