What's wrong with American milk?

[govols 0]

The difference is that American milk is homogenized and European milk isn't

Wrong you can get homogenized in England also Pasteurized, Sterilized, Skimmed, Semi Skimmed and Jersey

that is what a bread machine is good for

but you can't make bread like this in a machine

I have a machine, and we use it all the time (I don't remember the last time I bought a loaf of bread, we've had the machine for 4 years). But even in the oven, a loaf of bread is not going to be nice and crunchy on the outside like this loaf is. If you like artisanal bread, this is sooooooo easy do-it-yourself no knead for lazy people loaf. Its wonderful with soups and stews, you can dunk it and it won't just fall in. mmm mmm mmmm

You can get specialty flours and stuff at most health food stores, and some higher end grocery stores will have it in the bread making section. Even here in hicksville a few of our stores are adding more and more stuff like that. They're even carrying mixes for the bread machines now too. I can't remember the brand, but there's one that has a really good rye bread mix.

Oh wow. That looks scrumptious, Reba. I'm going to make that tomorrow. Thank you.

You can get wholewheat bread but it isn't the same as the decent seeded stuff you can get in the UK - Hovis anyone!? Ohhh for some real bread Maybe I should get off my behind and make some

So am I right in assuming whole wheat is the same as wholemeal?

Yes. Ironic, isn't it?

The breed of cow and what she eats has a lot to do with the flavor and amount of fat there is in the milk.

Sorry, but I NEED to know: is that me, or American milk is... odd?

As an Americano drink-milker, I remain uncowed by your inference, and that's no bull.

Moooooo!

Q: What did those self-centered French cows say?

A: "Mooooooiiiiii!"

Hi!

Sorry, but I NEED to know: is that me, or American milk is... odd? I mean, it's like white ink, it doesn't look like milk, it's too thick, and it doesn't have any flavour and taste. My question is: am I crazy, or there's really a difference between European and American milk?

Moooooo!

e-migra

It's the plastic bottle that makes it smell and taste weird

Saludos,

Caro

European milk is in plastic bottles, well that's how you buy it in the supermarket here. Makes no difference.

I can get bread with nummy bits in it. At Wegman's. It might have the EVIL too, but since that's what I'm accustomed to eating, its no great shakes for me. The Arnold breads are really good though. I do treat myself to those now and again, or I'll buy some fresh from the nummy Wegman's bakery where they do make some excellent artisan breads.

I think the answer is that you need to move somewhere where you can get to a Wegman's. Just ask Krikit. She can vouch for the veracity of this statement!

On a serious note, what I do look for on food labels is red dye and caramel color. They are in EVERYTHING! My son has reactions to foods with red and caramel colors which turns him into satan personified. Took me years to figure out where his uncontrollable rages were coming from, but since I took him off foods with red and caramel colors a year ago, he is a different kid. I had been told he was anything from ADHD to Bi-polar. I truly believe that all these kids being diagnosed as ADHD are actually sensitive to red/caramel colors.

They put so much unnecessary ####### in our foods, these companies ought to be ashamed.

According to recent commercials, the taste is better when the milk comes from happy cows.

Wegmans FTW!!!!!

And I agree with you about the allergens and how professionals misdiagnose chemical reactions, Julez. Once I modified my son's diet he changed completely.

There's the answer! Everybody drink milk from California!
