La leche

[Tim]

I was sitting on the train tonight on my way back from Costco and out of the blue I started thinking about milk. We've all had milk from cows, goats, and sheep (either directly or in cheeses), but have any of you ever had horse milk? What about deer milk?

Or from cats. You can milk anything with nipples.

I'd guess that it has more to do with those animals' milk production tendencies than our dislike of the taste. Given enough time, it makes sense that some group of people in history would've found a way to make something nutritious out of that product. However, in the case of deer, I don't think they were ever domesticated on a large scale anywhere, so that would preclude the development of husbandry and the resulting culinary extensions of a captive breeding program.

Yes, mongols did. Their drink of choice ( as far as I understand it ) was fermented Mares Milk. I don't know about the maygars for sure, but from what I read most of the steppe nomads drank mare's milk.

You're on a movie quote roll this morning.
