One of my favorite dishes is sour cherry soup with sour cream. If eating cherries with milk were fatal, there really wouldn’t be many Hungarians running around these days…

Cecil may have addressed this (you might want to post the link next time), but I understand the annual death rate from Cherry Garcia ice cream is of horrendous proportions and would certainly receive attention from the FDA and the CDC - if only they could break the Pink Wall of Silence maintained by the Milk Board Conspiracy. (Of COURSE you’ve never heard of it.)
