Milk

Whether it be white, milk, dark or other more rare varieties (all will be revealed later on), everyone loves to sit down and have a square or 10.

As well as milk, dark, and white varieties, there is a rare fourth type known as blond chocolate.

Chocolate milk was invented in Jamaica.

Irish botanist Sir Hans Sloane is said to have first mixed chocolate with milk in Jamaica in the early 1700s.

Chocolate milk is an effective post-workout recovery drink.

Lays sold limited edition crisps covered in milk chocolate said to have a "salty-sweet combination, along with the texture contrast of warm melted chocolate and a crunchy chip".

It is produced by bacterial fermentation of milk.

The fermentation of lactose by these bacteria produces lactic acid, which acts on milk protein to give yogurt its texture and characteristic tart flavor.

What we do know for sure is that fermented milk was already being used in prehistoric times.

The ancient Eastern tribes who were nomadic shepherds preserved their milk, from cows, sheep, goats, horses and camels, in containers made from these animals' skins or from their stomachs.

Legend tells that yogurt was discovered because a shepherd, forgetting some milk in one of these skins for a while, when he finally remembered it, found it transformed : into something denser and tastier.

Reason tends to prove this theory, which anyone can check out, quite simply, in the following way : milk left to the open air, naturally transforms itself through the effects of germs, which make it coagulate and ferment.

The oldest writings mentioning yogurt were by Pliny the Elder, who said that some people knew how to thicken the milk into something which was sour but tasty.

Today, to produce yogurt, milk is first heated, usually to about 85 °C (185 °F), to denature the milk proteins so that they do not form curds.

After heating, the milk is allowed to cool to about 45 °C (113 °F).

Usually more tart than ice cream, as well as lower in fat, it is different from ice milk and conventional soft serve.

The milk and honey yogurt has a rich, cream cheese-like texture.

Milk and cream, plus sugar and flavorings are cooked together for a brief period of time, and then added to a thickening agent (most often gelatin).

Cheese is made from the milk of cows, buffalo, goats, sheep, horses and camels.

Milk is boiled at a high temperature before the curds and liquid whey is separated, and rennet (an enzyme found in the stomach of mammals) is added.

Those who are lactose intolerant (unable to process a type of sugar found in milk and milk products) should avoid eating cheese.

Pancakes are flat cakes, often thin and round, prepared from a starch based batter that can also have eggs, milk, and butter.

Tagenites were made with wheat flour, olive oil, honey and curdled milk.

Romans ate sweet and savoury dishes called Alita dolcia that were made from milk, flour, eggs and spices and were very similar to pancakes.

The batter is simple, made with flour, sugar, egg, and milk.

You should probably stop feeding your cat milk.

It's common knowledge that cats are fans of milk, but many of them are actually lactose intolerant.

While kittens can drink their mother's milk, feeding them cow's milk could be very dangerous to their health.

If you really want to reward your cat with some milk, make sure you buy lactose-free!

You might have cows and chickens to give you milk and eggs.

They also have popular desserts such as "Khao Niao Mamuang" or mango sticky rice made with a bed of sticky rice at the bottom with a fresh mango cut into slices on top and finished off with a drizzle of sweet coconut milk;

This dish is flavored with Cinnamon, Tamarind sauce, and sugar, topped with roasted peanuts and bay leaves, it's made with coconut milk, potatoes, and chicken or tofu for vegetarians.

This dessert is made out of coconut milk with a soft texture, a blend between creamy and icy.
