A central London ice-cream parlour has started selling ice-cream made with human breast milk. The Icecreamists in Covent Garden, London, have named their unusual delicacy Baby Gaga.
The treat is made by mixing breast milk with Madagascan vanilla pods and lemon zest. The milk has been donated by women who were paid £15 for every 10 ounces of their bodily fluid.
The dessert is offered up in a martini glass to those daring enough to try it for £14. Liquid nitrogen is also poured into the glass using a syringe.
Despite its unusual ingredient, the company said the “organic, free-range and totally natural” product sold out when launched today.

The company paid women who donated their breast milk after health screening. The Food Standards Agency says there are no specific laws prohibiting businesses from selling human milk products, but they must comply with general food safety laws to ensure the product is safe for consumption.
I wonder how milk is obtained for the non free-range equivalent.
Milk for baby cows is definitely stranger / less natural for us to consume than human baby milk. Human milk is super tasty and it is not all watery as someone suggested. Starts out thin and finishes much thicker / fattier. A full milking would yield something like whole milk plus some cream maybe.
