dairy comment

[Guest guest]

It wouldn't be fair for me not to mention, when Alan makes his

crème

brule or gelato he uses goat milk.

Goats milk doesn't set his sinuses off.

All cheeses we buy are not only made of goat's milk but are also

unpasturized. (fyi, the French eat cheese for dessert. They can not be

stopped. )

 

Perhaps Alan has a sensitivity to cows milk.

Perhaps its got more to do with all the chemicals they feed the cows

(Goat farmers might be a breed unto themselves and never would

consider such a thing.) or the process they put the milk through they

sell it to us.

 

Aside from India, which is ayuvedic medicine not TCM, I still can't

think of much dairy in China.

ok, maybe mare's milk (from horses. I've heard stories of some

alchoholic beverage they make) of the Mongols or yak milk and butter

with the Tibetans ...

 

Clue me in if I've missed a major element of Chinese cooking.

And I've heard goat's milk is more tolerable than

cow's for people. And they probably don't use the

hormones or medication in their feed. Unpasteurized

milk of any sort is not allowed to be sold in stores

as far as I know, though it can be bought directly

from the farm (as long as you don't tell the local

health agency, <G>). The pastuerization process is

what changes cow's milk into not being so good....

Will check into the goat cheese idea.

Kumiss... supposed to be *very* potent.

I don't think so. Most asian countries don't use a lot

of dairy in their cooking, or just for drinking. Maybe

for children, but not adults.
