MMMmilk

When I think back about my primary school days, what I remember most is the sour smell of the small milk cartons the teacher used to give us during the break. The brand was Joyvalle - AA Milk. Milk that (according to the package) came from lush green fields, with clean rivers and singing yellow birds. I always wondered why there weren't any cows in the picture.

Now I have traveled and tasted and now I can say, there is REAL milk out there. My first encounter was in some really small skiing resort in the alps in France where we got milk fresh from the cow, the fat still on top of it! Yummy.

Then I found there is also such a thing as good packaged milk, when I came to Sweden. The milk doesn't stay well for that long but at least it tastes like darn good milk! Long live Arla and the Swedish Cows ... Moooohh.

Now in Delhi, Mother Dairy has bedazzled my taste buds. Their milk doesn't come in cartons or bottles like we are used to, but in plastic soft packages, like refill dish washing soap. It takes some practice and luck to open the packages and pour them in a container, but it's well worth your efforts. Again, doesn't stay good for a long time, but TASTYYYYY! And when you leave the milk for a few hours, there will be some treat on the side of the container, nice and thick cream, left for you and your spoon!
I am a definitely a fan of milk!
