Comment on I need to vent about plastic milk jugs
BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 10 hours agoI hate milk, so I never drink it today, but as a kid, I drank a lot of thawed milk. My mom always bought two gallons, and froze one while we used the first. It might not please a milk connoisseur, but it always tasted fine. It certainly wasn’t spoiled, or anything like that.

It causes the fat to separate. Maybe she got skim milk?

1-2%, so I never noticed any separation. I always shook up the milk whenever I used it on my cereal anyway. Probably still would, if I ever was to use milk for something.

I sometimes did the same, but I grew up on a dairy farm and had milk that wasn’t homogenized.
We used these old one gal apple juice bottles that had a narrow neck, so the cream would float to the top and collect in the narrow opening.
When I got older, I actually liked getting that first dollop of cream on my cereal.
Now though, anything over 2% just tastes too heavy. Growing up on unpasteurized milk, I am amazed at what I got away with.
