Cheese nips

Storchen, a restaurant in Switzerland, has been banned from adding human breast milk to their newly updated menu. Mr. Locher, proprietor, says "I first experimented with cooking with breast milk when my daughter was born...one can make really delicious things, although you always must add a little whipping cream to the milk to retain consistency." His ambitions were eventually thwarted after Zurich food inspectors claimed the move would violate government regulations. "Humans are not on the list of authorized milk suppliers, such as cows or sheep," said department head Rolf Etter.

Locher had planned on paying lactating mothers, recruited through local newspaper ads, $14.50 (U.S.) per liter of breast milk - officially making this the least lucrative way for a woman to make money with her breasts.

Zurich Health Department spokeswoman Christa Muller-Aregger was quoted as saying: "When hospitals stockpile milk banks the mothers and their milk are always given a health check. If a mother takes drugs or smokes then you will find traces in the milk," Muller-Aregger continued by adding "Human milk is specifically designed for babies and not to be of nutritional value for adults."

Of course it isn't. Unlike cows milk which mother nature clearly designed for humans.

And if all this wasn't bizarre enough, a company in France, called Petit Singly, has reportedly been making cheese with breast milk. No official word on whether or not the cheese really exists, however I will be unlikely tucking in to a grilled booby-cheese sandwich on my next tour through the Dordogne.
