Daniel Angerer, owner of the New York City restaurant Klee Brasserie is making headlines with the newest addition to his menu: “Mommy’s Milk” cheese, made from his wife’s excess breast milk.
The chef began experimenting with human milk in the kitchen eight weeks ago after his wife gave birth and she began freezing her excess milk. The idea has delighted some, and disgusted others, but is not the first attempt to promote human milk for general consumption.
A while back a Swiss restaurant named Storchen introduced a menu featuring human breast-milk edibles, which inspired PETA to ask ice-cream giant Ben & Jerry’s to switch from unhealthy bovine juice from tormented calves (aka cow milk) to healthier, humane human breast milk.
Though Ben & Jerry’s wasn’t so keen on the idea, Daniel Angerer’s supporters are now urging him to consider making breast milk ice cream as well. The chef invites anyone who’s interested to try his titillating creation, and even offers a recipe for the cheese on his blog should you ever actually want to try it at home.
Interesting idea for the purposes of sustainable eating, but I think I’ll have to take a pass on this one.
