Post to a few communities this morning.

So, I just went to make myself breakfast. Cereal into bowl. I start pouring the milk on.
*bloop* *bloop*
"Oh God!! MILKS OFF!" Lucky today is shopping day and milk was on the list, but damn I wanted cereal.

Then I investigate further. It doesn't smell bad. Off milk has a STINK to it that this doesn't have. The milk has gone yoghurty, separated into curds and whey. I tentatitively taste a bit, it tastes like cream, not off milk!

So, people. Has this milk (pasturised, full cream milk - the use by date is 18 March, it's been open about 5 days) actually gone off? Or is it still usable? And the pertinent question, if it's still usable, what can I use it for??

P.S. I had to content myself with Marmite on toast for breakfast


Consensus was the milk had dehomogenised. Which happens occasionally. Must have happened between this morning and yesterday morning.

I've since attempted to turn it into butter but lost patience and figured there probably wasn't enough fat in it. Not sure what I want to do with it now, but it fascinates me. It's just like thicker milk, really creamy. It's nifty.

hmmm lumpy milk hmmmm

de homogenised, yes. You can buy it that way too :)
Milk with a layer of cream on the top is way nifty.
