Would you eat a meal prepared with human milk? If so, Switzerland is the place to be!

A Swiss gastronomist has announced that he will serve meals cooked with human breast milk.

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 is now looking for women donors, said. Donors 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."

The food control authority in Switzerland was initially confused by the apparent loophole in local legislation regulating the use of human milk and it was not clear whether Mr Locher could actually be banned from serving his specialities. "Humans as producers of milk are simply not envisaged in the legislation. They are not on the list of approved species such as cows and sheep, but they are also not on the list of the banned species such as apes and primates," Rolf Etter of the Zurich food control laboratory said.

    • I agree, LindseyIndigo. I don't drink cow's milk or any other animal's milk, and while I think breast milk is perfectly fine and healthy for humans, it is intended primarily and specifically for the child it was produced for, not general consumption.

      Even a child who breast feeds from a lactating women who is not it's birth mother will need time to adjust to the milk and will not receive all the benefits. The milk is produced specifically for the child that promoted it's creation.

    • It really depends on what kind of breasts the milk is coming from; a housewife, stripper, crackwhore etc.

      But I'll just stick with soy.

    • Wow, that's quite a picture Jana!

      I wouldn't drink this milk for the same reason I don't drink cow's - it's someone else's juice! There's nowt wrong with breast milk per se tho.

    • A lot of substances are transferred through breast milk, who knows what drugs, illegal and legal, that you could get. Are there any organic women out there?

    • We use cow and goat milk, and I like people a lot more than those things, so why not? It feels a bit wrong that's why...

    • I've never trusted foreign milk, I don't know why, it just never seems to taste like some good old semi-skimmed on my cornflakes.

      I don't think I'd like to be drinking someone's breast milk either, the whole thought of it makes my stomach churn...
