milk ice cream
LONDON (Reuters Life!) - A
specialist ice cream parlour plans
to serve up breast milk ice cream
and says people should think of it
as an organic, free-range treat.
The breast milk concoction, called
the "Baby Gaga", will be available
from Friday at the Icecreamists
restaurant in London's Covent
Garden.
Icecreamists founder Matt
O'Connor was confident his take
on the "miracle of motherhood"
and priced at a hefty 14 pounds
($23) a serving will go down a
treat with the paying public.
The breast milk was provided by
mothers who answered an
advertisement on online mothers'
forum Mumsnet.
Victoria Hiley, 35, from London
was one of 15 women who
donated milk to the restaurant
after seeing the advert.
Hiley works with women who
have problems breast-feeding
their babies. She said she believes
that if adults realised how tasty
breast milk actually is, then new
mothers would be more willing to
breast-feed their own newborns.
"What could be more natural than
fresh, free-range mother's milk in
an ice cream? And for me it's a
recession beater too -- what's the
harm in using my assets for a bit
of extra cash," Hiley said in a
statement.
"I tried the product for the first
time today -- it's very nice, it really
melts in the mouth."
The Baby Gaga recipe blends
breast milk with Madagascan
vanilla pods and lemon zest,
which is then churned into ice
cream.
O'Connor said the Baby Gaga was
just one of a dozen radical new
flavours at the shop.
"Some people will hear about it
and go, 'yuck' but actually it's
pure, organic, free-range and
totally natural," he said. "I had a
Baby Gaga just this morning and I
feel great.
