Food Questions

I didn't want to dedicate a thread solely to goat's milk, so I'm calling it Food Questions. It could be a sort of running thread where if anyone runs across some sort of food they know nothing about, they can ask people here, "What the hell is this green thing I found at the store?"

I'll start.

So we went to the State Fair (our state fair is the best state fair) and there was a goat products counter. I tried the goat cheese. OK. Then I asked to try the goat's milk. Mmm. Delish, but I've always liked milk. Milk doesn't like me. I'm somewhat lactose intolerant. But I've heard that some lactose intolerant people tolerate goat's milk, so since it tasted good, I figured, what the hey and bought some.

I got it home and had some the next day. It came out in clumps, like cow's milk does when it goes bad. Hmm. But it smelled OK. Hmm. So I called my mom, the farm girl and asked her about goat's milk. She never had it.

I noticed that the container said it was non-homogenized. That means the milk and cream and fat are NOT emulsified, right? (In the old days, milk used to separate and you could drink the cream from the top. Yum!)

So, brave soul that I am, I tried a chunk. It was creamy and tasty. Hmm. So I just shook the hell out of the milk poured it and drank a cup. Mmm. Delish.

Today. Delish.

So was I right in assuming those chunks were just separated globules of fat or am I flirting with disaster here?
