Goons are over exaggerating. If you're in a civilized part of Florida, the tap water is safe to drink. It'll taste bad, but it's safe.

If you're drinking from some weird redneck's well, then all bets are off.

For me i cant distinguish between UHT, pasteurized or fresh milk as an ingredient when its part of something else.
The latter two are indistinguishable IMO when theyre from the same source.
What matters really is the sugar, protein and fat levels, like jersey cow milk is pretty high in fat by itself and super creamy, but isnt that sweet. And more protein Ive felt can compensate a bit in mouthfeel for low fat milk, but only up to a certain point.

Also gently caress corn fed cow milk
Rank rear end poo poo from a satanic cows rear end in a top hat

(of course your organic unpasteurized milk tastes different, bucko, it comes from different places and different types of cow eating different types of food)

I tried it. It was gross as hell, but it was safe. The local dude that told us the water may make you sick was either loving with us or drinks swamp water at home.

That said, it was gross enough that it's basically unusable for drinking, or even mixing something in to drink. What the gently caress, Florida?

I love pizza and tuna and pears, and yet now I don't want to eat any of them ever again. Great.

Also: what the gently caress are those black blobs? Did they char slices of pears somehow? I have so many questions...

All the big (financially solvent) cities have water that is fine but with their own terroir. Rural wells taste as good and are as safe depending how you site your well. Its usually the small communities inbetween who are just barely big enough to justify a treatment plant. Well or intake placement probably isn't the greatest, and filters are undersized or undermaintained and they make up for it with massive chlorine additions because that's a sanitizing method that scales all the way up to the point that the tap smells like a swimming pool. Or they don't and you end up getting brain amoebas when you shower.

I don't think they do UHT milk here in Ontario. I've never ever heard of it before.
Though we do have homogenized milk, a.k.a homo milk.


Also, and unrelated, I made Maple BBQ Beer Balls for my company potluck last Friday!

It can be found, I don't think it's popular. Usually found near the evaporated milk products.

I'm honestly curious here: Why does it seem like the 50's had so many really weird food combos? Like there are cookbooks about using jello for all these weird rear end recipes like having hotdogs suspended in it, or having celery flavored Jell-O. Then there's poo poo like that tuna and pear pizza.

I know there's tons of weird food today, but it just seems like back then it was more...accepted I guess?

A lot of it was just gimmick stuff because of poo poo like cheap and available refrigeration being new and exciting, so cold meals and things like jell-o that needed to set in a cold environment became the metric for keeping up with the Joneses. Despite everyone hating to actually eat it.

This has been discussed before itt, but gelatin/aspics were seen as a luxury in the days before widespread refrigeration, so in the 40s and 50 when everyone started getting refrigerators they all wanted to make aspics to show off how prosperous they were thanks to MODERN TECHNOLOGY.

They were always gross as hell, but they choked them down because social climbing and peer pressure was more important than learning how to use exotic spices like some kind of foreigner.

In the 50s having a refrigerator was still a sign of status and wealth, so making stuff that requires refrigeration, like weird-rear end jello recipes, was a way to show that you're hot poo poo and full of money.

ACES, being the OP, has the final say. I think I've got a pretty convincing argument here.

If he calls me a winner, I'll throw $10 to a charity.

If he says "no deal," I'll go eat something terrible from the podunk gas station up the street and document it for the enjoyment of the internet (and probably still throw ten bucks at the humane society or whatever because they need it this time of year but don't tell ACES that ok)

The term "whole milk" means full-fat, homogenized milk in the States, but full-fat, non-homogenized (creamline) milk in Canada, so what we call "whole milk" they call "homo milk". It looks like Canadian whole milk is still not often found in regular supermarkets, though.

Piggybacking on bland food chat, so many people lacked culinary skills that there were educational films meant to get men* and women born in the 1930's and 40's up to speed. I suspect three things came into play.

First, we had the Great Depression. The great depression narrowed affordable food choices. The situation didn't change much until the years after WWII ended. Let's call it a gap of at least 15 years. There's no use passing down certain family recipes if it's impossible to get or afford the ingredients.

Second, women were expected to cook meals every night regardless of how hard they worked in the day. Without the shortcuts provided by canned/frozen/gelatinized foods it'd take a lot longer to cook dinners. Those shortcuts become especially attractive if the mother has an outside day job and community obligations.

Third, if you were a young woman who wanted to start work immediately after leaving the home would you spend a lot of time learning how to cook a lot of different dishes using ingredients you weren't familiar with in quantities you wouldn't eat?


*An educational short on how to buy food comes to mind.

American here: but I have always, always hated the taste of milk. It always tastes like snot to me, and I cannot untaste it. If it's in other things, it's fine, but I can't handle straight up milk. Almond "milk" though is the poo poo and super good and tasty.
