Milk in NYC

[debka_notion]

I just tried to make myself a nice cup of tea with milk in it before bed, and when I poured the milk in, it was chunky. This is 4 days before the sell by date in NYC- whereas the milk I bought in Boston usually lasted quite a good while beyond that date, when I didn't use it up too fast, except once in the summer.

I don't understand New York City. Is there something about the place that causes milk to curdle?

Hmm- well the previous thing of milk also went bad a few days before the sell-by date (and I'm talking about the one for NYC), just not as dramatically. Maybe the two of them are a fluke. And I'm not even buying gallons- I'd heard food lasts less time in NYC, and I live basically alone, so I was only buying half-gallons...

Yeah- I wonder how long it takes for canned milk to go bad. I'm not sure I've even ever seen that happen....

whoever told you that was right.

i know next to nothing about canned milk, so i cant offer much advice on that score, but you might also consider soy milk, which doesnt really begin to decay (and consequently doesnt require refrigeration) untill its been opened.

bonus point of interest: soy milk is spanish for i am milk!
