Swiss restaurant to serve meals cooked with human breast milk

Women will receive just over £3 (US$5.4) for 14 ounces of their milk Photo: GETTY The owner of the Storchen restaurant in the exclusive Winterthur resort will improve his menu with local specialities such as meat stew and various soups and sauces containing at least 75 per cent of mother's milk.

"We have all been raised on it. Why should we not include it into our diet?" Hans Locher, who has become Switzerland most controversial restaurant owner, said.

Mr Locher attracted the attention of the leading media of the German-speaking world this week after he posted ads looking for women donors, who will receive just over three pounds for 14 ounces of their milk.

He said: "I first experimented with breast milk when my daughter was born.

"One can cook really delicious things with it. However, it always needs to be mixed with a bit of whipped cream, in order to keep the consistency."

1. Great, now women are just lactating cows...

On edit: great way for some extra cash, do they take foreign milk?

[Somawas]

4. No. They think Sarah Palin could have mad cow disease.

[prayin4rain]

9. hahaha ..... gross n/t

[Renew Deal]

25. Grass Fed Free Range Organic Women

:shrug:

[Maine-ah]

36. you know what, I'm still lactating and I stopped bf'ing in december

if they're payin' I'd sell it to them. I could use the cash.

[UndertheOcean]

2. ooookkkkk

[ET Awful]

3. Seems a bit more natural than drinking cow's milk.

I think it's just a matter of perception. Why is it that people find drinking milk from a different animal (which was in no way designed for human consumption) acceptable, but drinking the milk of their own species is taboo?

[votetastic]

28. That's exactly what I was thinking..

It is more natural for humans to drink human breast milk.

[meow2u3]

5. That gives "boob tube" a whole new meaning

[lonestarnot]

6. Ackety. Hugh ugh, not me!

[Ilsa]

7. Sounds like healthy food. nt

[xyouth]

8. Will he include self serve? N/T

[Hassin Bin Sober]

10. I still love the look on Bob Barr's face when Borat tells him he's eating cheese from breast milk.

[ingac70]

16. I thought he was going to puke!

lol.

[Beregond2]

11. I came across something weirder on my last vacation. I was in a liquor store,

and this couple, who had just had a baby, wanted a bottle of everclear so they could make tincture of placenta to feed their child. Then they were going to eat the placenta themselves.

I'm not going to say where this was, because I don't want to reinforce a stereotype...

[xyouth]

19. Reminds me of the old SNL skit with Gilda

Placenta Helper:rofl:

[Beregond2]

21. LOL. Damn, I wish I'd remembered that at the time.

[blogslut]

30. That sketch never made it to air

Maybe you read the same SNL book I read way back when?

If so, then you probably know Al Franken's Helen Keller joke. I won't tell it here but I love that damned joke.

[xyouth]

34. I Remember seeing it. Or I have early on set McCain's disease.

I may be going nuts, google searches say it was never aired. Man, I can see it in my head so clearly.:silly: :crazy: :silly: :crazy:

[blogslut]

38. Cecil Adams says no

From http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/686/is-there-really-such-a-thing-as-placenta-stew">The Straight Dope:

Finally, David English of Somerville, Massachusetts, has thoughtfully sent me a copy of the script for a censored Saturday Night Live skit featuring--you'd better sit down for this--Placenta Helper. "Placenta Helper lets you stretch your placenta into a tasty casserole," it sez here. "Like Placenta Romanoff--a zesty blend of cheeses makes for the zingy sauce that Russian czars commanded at palace feasts," etc. The last line was supposed to have been a voice-over from Don Pardo: "Placenta Helper--make a rare occasion, a rare occasion." Very tasteful. Why it got cut we'll never know...

As well as http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,303994,00.html">this:

In 1977, Saturday Night Live published its first companion volume, a slapdash paperback with still-dead Spanish dictator Francisco Franco on the cover. The book was a jumble of script pages with snide comments scribbled on them, plus never-aired sketches (''Placenta Helper''), telephone messages (''Censor says you can't say 'schmuck'''), and assorted lists such as ''People who dolphins are definitely more intelligent than: Idi Amin, Cybill Shepherd, Prince Charles, Peter Fonda, Phyllis George...

It's been over 30 years. Perhaps you saw the sketch performed at a nightclub.

23. C'mon...we know it's gotta be somewhere in California.

[Beregond2]

39. OK, I'll reveal:

Ashland, OR. But it's right on the CA border!

[Lasher]

12. Yum! Perfect thing to wash down the yak penis I brought home from the olympics.

But I insist on meeting the donors and closely inspecting their production facilities.

[TahitiNut]

13. I'm betting this won't catch on at the Olive Garden.

:dunce:

I wonder if mothers can nurse their infants at the Storchen restaurant while enjoying such unique fare. (Probably... the Swiss don't have American hang-ups.)

[BlooInBloo]

20. Just think of the fried chicken you can make with it!!!

:rofl:

[JitterbugPerfume]

14. that is disgusting

this is demeaning to women. making them dairy cows.

[Fran Kubelik]

15. Sorry, but it takes too much work to pump 14 oz of milk.

It's worth waaaaaaaaaaay more than $5.40. My friends and I used to refer to our pumped milk as "liquid gold."

[ingac70]

17. With AIDS, Hepatitis and God knows what else...

No way, no freakin' how.

[1]

18. 14 ounces. is that a lot or a little?

"Women will receive just over £3 (US$5.4) for 14 ounces of their milk."

$5.40?

everything about this just strikes me as wrong...

[jannyk]

22. Well, it's nearly a pint. Gotta be at least one breast worth...

maybe two if they're little.
:shrug:

[1]

29. thanks. i had no idea what a breast could produce. and bigger is better?

huh.

maybe that explains the "biological" attraction with men and large breasts. better chance for the baby and all...

[Hekate]

32. I don't think size has much to do with it. My babies got really plump off my AAs.

America just has a breast fetish.

33. ok. thanks. for us uninformed, how much milk does a baby consume per day? a pint? a quart?

this thread really raises some interesting questions for an idiot like me. if y'all don't mind sharing i would really appreciate your thoughts.

babies seem so small at birth. i would assume they drink a few ounces and sleep, being so small.

i'm sure it increases over time, as they get bigger. do they just stop when they are full? like the gas pump that just shuts off?

how do you know when they are fed? how do you know how much they consume? is it something you can feel? does your breast get smaller? how do you know?

i'm sure this is just common knowledge amongst women. it is fascinating information to me.

if its not too weird please share...

[noamnety]

24. Interesting reactions to this

I am not sure what it says about us that we can be grossed out by drinking milk that comes from a woman's body, but totally cool with drinking it when it comes from a cow's body. Are women's bodies so much more disgusting than cows?

[Hippo_Tron]

26. Wait, don't tell me, is it the Olive Garden?

:yoiks:

[qwlauren35]

27. While I'm not sure about commercializing it...

I think it would make a LOT of sense for lactating mothers to incorporate it into daily meals. It's considered extraordinarily healthy, and half of us were raised on it...

[Hekate]

31. Um. There are babies in desperate need of that stuff themselves, & programs to get it to them...

... if the lactating woman is willing to share.

This just seems weird. I know there are husbands out there who've had "a taste" or maybe more, but to order it in a restaurant?

Hekate

[lame54]

35. And all Hooters has is wings...

[Lyric]

37. We don't hesitate to drink milk meant for cows.

Why would we get weird about milk meant for humans?

[rvablue]

40. Gross!!! n/t
