Its always interesting to see how the processors use farm milk.
Ours is made into cheese ,but they use the whey that comes off the cheese , by passing it through a reverse osmosis type process that takes the lactose sugar out (goes into Mars bars and Lucosade sport) , and then the water is stripped out and reused and the reaining sugars are used as a liquid animal feed for pigs etc.
Liquid processors will skim the butterfat off your pinta , in varying amounts to arrive at blue top or red or whatever ,and then sell the cream on for an extra shilling (or as has been the case lately ,a soverign or 2 )
Tonight I will mainly be eating a large Lasagne made from 2 bags of minced beef (farm beef) that came from the deep freeze I discovered had been turned off a few days ago when my stupid daughter plugged the deep fat fryer in . She plugged the wrong plug back in:rolleyes:
So if Oddball drops off the radar , its food poisoning:lol:
