As a couple of other posters mentioned, I hated the wild onion flavor when the cows ate them.<br /> <br />There was nothing like good unhomogenized, unpasteurized, cream-on-top, fresh-from-the-farm milk and butter. Sometimes Mama would pour the cream off the top to make peach ice cream.

Our cow sure did like wild onions and I couldn't stand the smell of the milk after Dad milked her..probably the reason I haven't drank milk in years I only use it for cooking. Gary doesn't drink milk either but he loves milk and cornbread. Can't beat a good old buttermilk biscuit even the frozen kind, haha.<br /><br />Love ya!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09039342776866311508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-71237816251398506172012-05-31T15:46:50.367-04:002012-05-31T15:46:50.367-04:00Cool that you still shake your milk, Jack, provide...Cool that you still shake your milk, Jack, provided it is not in a glass ;)(of course I realize you shake it in the container :)<br /><br />I bet that buttermilk did taste good.

When we went through them in West Virgina, Pennsylvania and Maryland last year, reception was spotty at best. Yep, I remember glass bottles of milk and the MILKMAN. Heard lots of stories about him and the neighbor ladies. LOL Just kidding. Come to think of it, I NEVER have seen cream on top in a plastic jug.

I always thought 'sweetmilk' was the opposite of sour milk (ie buttermilk)! I was still having milk delivered to my home in Virginia (1964 ~ 1968) when my son was little (he's 46). It had cream in the neck...the bottles were shaped so you could easily see the cream. While I like buttermilk I never drank just the cream...shook the bottle to mix it in! Modern milk has either had the cream removed OR it has been homogenized! It is funny...I still shake my milk before I pour it...old habits die hard! Cornbread and cold milk sounds good...however I no longer bake...reason being...I bake it, I eat it...my doctor and I don't like that! ;) <br /><br />When I was a kid the milk truck came down our road every morning to pick up the metal milk containers from the farmers who had milk cows (and got up before the crack of dawn to milk them). We only had one cow...to take care of personal milk needs.<br /><br />Hello to Sherry!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-84280988246282661082012-05-31T13:09:38.179-04:002012-05-31T13:09:38.179-04:00My mom's churn was like the one at the top. ...My mom's churn was like the one at the top. Guess who got to churn the butter. Hate buttermilk. Never ever liked it. Never cared for cows unpasturized milk. Can't spell it. But I drink quite a bit of milk now. I loved to watch mom knead the butter away from the buttermilk.Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02272388069537746789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-67248063305508303322012-05-31T12:42:05.249-04:002012-05-31T12:42:05.249-04:00I watched my grandmother churn many times and did ...I watched my grandmother churn many times and did enjoy the buttermilk too. There is just nothing to compare that butter with. It had a taste so unique that butter now a days couldn't touch it. I do love my butter but that was really something special. I also remember shaking the bottles to mix the cream and the milk. Now we get very little butter fat even in whole milk. I always think how blessed I am to have been able to enjoy those experiences. Many do not. Glad at least that you do have a connection there. Thankfully where I camp I get a better connection than I do at home, so I had to resort to internet cable here. I still use my verison at the camper. Hope you all are getting some good rest in and that Sherry is improving and healing more each day.I'm mostly known as 'MA'https://www.blogger.com/profile/12107548726472541669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-73332742954262370902012-05-31T11:57:15.572-04:002012-05-31T11:57:15.572-04:00Oh the joys of a fresh gallon of milk straight fro...Oh the joys of a fresh gallon of milk straight from the barn. Give me a cup of pure cream off the top if Mama didn't catch me. She wanted us to skim the cream off, place it in one half gallon jar, and we were to shake that jar until butter rose to the top. We never could afford a real churn but shaking and bouncing the jar long enough would do the same thing. Loved all the other products that came from it too. AND THE CORNBREAD to go with it.Fred Altonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12740055638280779519noreply@blogger.com
