I must say we are cute

 

[davedajobauk]

So, are these

ETA: not-related

 

[servant of Merciful Love]

I thought that was why you posted them

 

[frogalone]

Thanks for the reassurance, Dave. I had an aunt who made her own buttermilk, but I have no idea how she did it safely. It was better than store bought stuff.

My mom used to 'clabber' milk with vinegar to make a cake.
Haven't heard that word in a long time, and don't know if it really is a word anyway that is just what mom always said she did.

 

[davedajobauk]

It sure is a word Norah Sis'


http://www.thefreedictionary.com/clabber

Clabber is a food produced by allowing unpasteurized milk to turn sour at a specific humidity and temperature.
Over time, the milk thickens or curdles into a yogurt ...



I used to shake the lumps back into the whey LOL
not-today though ~I guess I have grown more-fastidious
BUT.. I will try- ALMOST-anything, at-least once

My mom did that, too, but her much older sister would use a gallon glass jar and make it half full of buttermilk. She kept in it the refrigerator and drank it with pepper sprinkled on it.

You can use fruit or vinegar to START the curdling process
There are many recipes [regional preferences]

As I said, if the milk has been stored hygienically
It is just a matter of time/ technique /flavouring [or not ]

I don't think my mother made her own buttermilk....but I remember her drinking it...with pepper on it....what an old forgotten memory....

 

[servant of Merciful Love]

In RL too sister

 

[davedajobauk]

Back in those days.... ice, didn't keep milk 'fresh' for long
Buttermilk was a way of consuming it for-longer

Nowadays, advanced filtration and refrigeration preserves it for about a week 'fresh'
UHT ~long-life seems too artificial for my taste :yeuk:

Buttermilk pancakes are one thing....or bisquits , but 'drinking' it....and with pepper?!

 

[davedajobauk]

Pies laced with pepper and salt can hide the advancing age of meat fillings [?]

Just a 'means' of selling the product over a longer shelf life

 

[servant of Merciful Love]

I was aware of using salt for that reason...but not pepper

 

[davedajobauk]

I don't do well with processed foods for ALL the above reasons

 

[davedajobauk]

'Food', always TASTES BETTER,
when it is you that adds & cooks, each and every ingredient in the menu

 

[servant of Merciful Love]

For sure....and you are healthier too
