    It is true. The disease the cows get is call mastitis or maptitist or something like that. Long stringy strands of puss hang from their teets. In the early stages, they don't know the cow has it and it gets milked. Yep, cow pus! So, Got Milk?

    Personally I think too much emphasis is put on the contents of our food. Especially processed foods. It's pasteurised... sterilised... iradiated etc etc etc - and in the end mostly tasteless and insipid. Vegetables haven't tasted the same since those post-war years when father had his vegetable garden and a major job for us kids was chasing behind horses with a bucket and shovel for the dung to feed the plants.

    Were we a special breed with some super-protection??

    We were fed sandwiches of rendered pork and beef fat (dripping) from the roast meat. A pan of stew hadn't matured until it was 3 days old.

    Being the eldest I can remember my siblings being breast fed (thankfully coming back into fashion) and being weaned at the dinner table by mother chewing her food and feeding them the mash on a tea spoon. All the body's natural antibodies being passed down. Who knows the contents of Baby Food?? I suppose it doesn't really matter after all the treatments it goes through.

    Oh well --- progress (? ) I suppose

    Just thinking back to my earlier post. Bread and Dripping - the fat of roast pork - only thing was - us kids could only have the white of the top - Dad got the dark brown jelly underneath for his "pack-up". Just had to smile at the times we let the knife scrape just a milimeter lower... Delicious!

    Orange, I still have banana and milk a couple times a week! My mother used to serve this to us when we were growing up. I'm now 57. It still brings back good memories. Sometimes there is nothing else I crave when I'm feeling sick. It can be very soothing and comforting.

    My Mom served this to us when I was young, maybe 2-5 yrs old in the late '60's/ear;y '70's, and we called it just what it was... bananas milk and sugar. I have a touch of intestinal flu, and was thinking about it, so I wanted to see if it had any specific uses. I've determined it's just a comfort thing, and like many said, probably originated in depression times.

    Hey your not alone, heck I thought my mom was the only one who did that. Bananas with sugar and milk was common, so was popcorn left over from the previous night with sugar or milk, or just broken up cookies with milk. Mom didn't like to buy cereal cause it was so expensive. I still eat these things today 25 years later

    My mom made this for me in the '90s, so it's still kicking. I just googled it because I just ate it and wondered if anyone else out there did... it seems pretty unusual.

    OOOOOoooooohhhhh yeah!! My Mom did this for us and now every now and again for a treat I do this for my kids.Nope you are not weird or out to lunch on this one, unless of course I am too! LOL . In fact it was one of the ways my Mom could get me to "drink" milk... works for my kids too... the dislike of milk must be hereditary.
