• milk taste variations

    Real milk has taste variations, too, largely from the
    feed used by the dairy but also (some say) from the
    breed of the cows.

    It's been decades but I distinctly remember the weird taste of local
    milk in parts of Newfoundland where cattle grazed on seaweed at low
    tide. The milk tasted like dulse had been soaked in it!

    Recent new taste: Roslind brought home a single packet of a new to
    Yellowknife brand of instant noodles to try out. Shin Ramyun is a
    brand of instant noodle produced by the South Korean food company
    Nongshin. Shin means spicy and Ramyun is Korean for ramen. The broth
    is quite red from ground chilies. I liked it but she found it too
    hot for her tastes but quite nice diluted 50/50 with Lipton chicken
    noodle soup. Google images show a soup that is even redder than
    ours so I suspect the version made for the home market is hotter
    than the export one. Will buy again. For those who care: no MSG.

    I can believe that.... Milk can take on the taste of what is eaten...
    the same thing happens with human milk.... and nursing infants can get
    gas from their mother's milk if she eats something potentially gassy...

    No MSG is nice... :) The Google image might just have had more color saturation.... I've seen variants in color even on the same page of a
    catalog of clothing.... between the swatch and the picture of someone
    wearing it....

    And in some countries infants learn to appreciate chile heat at an
    extra early age!

    Roslind is sensitive to all but the smallest doses. I don't mind it
    at all and appreciate how it can enhance some dishes. For example
    she can't handle a bowl of Campbell soup where the can makes 2
    helpings but can enjoy a reasonable portion of a tuna noodle
    casserole with a cream soup sauce base where one can flavours six
    helpings. I keep a small spice canister of it in the kitchen and
    use it occasionally and very sparingly.

    The Google image might just have had more color saturation

    Quite possibly.

    I don't use it in cooking, and generally try to avoid it otherwise,
    though I don't totally do so... unlike saccherine, to which I am
    allergic in any amount....
