🤣 Now, reveal the truth: was it or was it not?! We won’t tell your friend 🤭

I wouldn't really give someone my breastmilk without their consent, but it would be fun to pretend I did just to fuck with them.

That's what friends are for!?..!?...?? Right?

I love this. I would never stop pranking people with breast milk if I were making it. My friend once laughed so hard she squirted breast milk (she made a TON of breast milk) and it is still one of the best joke punctuations I've ever experienced.

Haha amazing. I think I would try it? Especially if it were a partner's. I don't know whether or not I'd try a friend's. Feels like a really intimate thing.

Now if someone were to make ice cream out of their breast milk (is that possible?), I'd 100% try it. Haha.

I feel the same way, Ben! I'd try a partner's (granted in my case it's just my own), but a friend's would seem weird, but also.... I could probably be convinced, lol.

What about a breastmilk cheese, Ben?? Lady Parm? mm?????

Breastmilk is for the progeny of the adult human female producing it. Giving it to someone else is - in these post-vaccine days - not just dubious but potentially dangerous for the recipient...

By that logic, shouldn't we be reserving cow, sheep, buffalo, and goat milk for their progeny? But, no, I haven't drunk human milk since I was an itty bitty progeny, many decades ago; I've been switching over to soy and oat "milks" over the past few years.

I also consume soy and oat milk in vast quantities!

It is definitely my go-to "milk".

I drink soy for my cereal (no particular reason, just habit) and oat for my espresso drinks. I tried to get a whole milk cappuccino once recently to pretend I was a fancy European and it's so weird tasting to me now. Almost sour compared to nut milks.

I definitely like plant-based "milks" more than the cow version. I use soymilk to make yogurt and use oat milk on my coffee. :) I'm still searching for a decent cheese substitute - I've found recipes for stuff that LOOKS like the real thing, but doesn't taste or melt like cheese. I pretty much just avoid cheese as much as possible, without being too obnoxious to my omnivorous family.

Interesting, I haven't looked into that.

If you're referencing the Covid vaccine I have a feeling that would be okay, given it's safe for babies, but I am no scientist, just a silly butt doodler.

I do have to say I am very much not promoting a regular consumption (I hate to even think of a commercial process), more just a curiosity to taste.

There are some diseases that can be transmitted through breast milk, but Covid-19 isn't one of them. According to the CDC, "Current evidence suggests that SARS-COV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) is not spread to infants through breast milk. The virus spreads when an infected person breathes out droplets and very small particles that contain the virus. These droplets and particles can be breathed in by other people or land on their eyes, noses, or mouth. In some circumstances, they may contaminate surfaces they touch." (https://www.cdc.gov/breastfeeding/breastfeeding-special-circumstances/maternal-or-infant-illnesses/covid-19-and-breastfeeding.html).

That being said, if you want to keep your friends friendly, it's probably best not to prank them by serving them human milk - unless, of course, they share your odd, but interesting, sense of humor... 😊
