    That, and most traditional dairy consuming European cultures never actually drank milk. They made cheese and butter, then poured the remainder in the pig trough to turn those calories into pork.

      The Nuer (a cattle-herding people from Sudan) would pour milk into gourds and add cow urine and leave it in the sun for months. I love eating food from around the world but that is one thing I would pass on. They never drank milk, but if they needed liquid calories they would poke a hole in a cow and drink some of their blood.
