Milk

What is up with the milk in Europe? UHT seems to be very popular and for fresh milk the two standard options are full fat and half fat (half volle). We go through about 2 litres every 3 days but we still have to buy 1 litre containers to keep us just ahead of the 'going off' stage.

I'm not sure whether the treament process is different or whether it's a matter of there being so many people that the milk takes a lot longer to get from cow to human, but ours never seems to last more than a couple of days in the fridge!

  1. come to think of it, i haven't had milk in ages!
    what do you use your milk for?

    dairy products are slightly expensive here (we don't have many (maybe any!) cows... so powdered milk or evaporated milk is more the norm.
    it's just not the same getting milk in a can now though is it!
