I’m with **Wearia** on this one… Ick!
First question: would pancakes made with breast milk taste different? I mean, it seems likely that pancakes made with goat’s milk would taste different than regular pancakes, so this would be one (minor) issue.
Second… somehow, presumably societal conditioning, I’m not ready for it. Nope, sorry, no way. Nor would I be thrilled at the thought of making pancakes with whale’s milk, or tiger’s milk, or kangaroo’s milk… Blech!
Even getting past that somehow, and making the plunge… **NOT** from my sister! Eugh! Ugh! (Okay, so I don’t have a sister, but it’s the principle of the thing.)

I would be grossed out if it was my sister, or a perfect stranger.
If it was from my wife/girlfriend I don’t think I would mind so much.

Nah, wouldn’t bother me…
but then I’ve probably eaten much worse in Thailand without knowing about it… 😉

It wouldn’t bother me, especially if it was cooked in food.
FTR, I did try some of Mrs. Dave-Guy’s breast milk when **Sakura** was a newborn. Much sweeter than cow milk, as I remember.
Now, if Bill had said, “You know, I’m a little thirsty,” and you had hiked up your blouse…
Seriously, once it’s in a container other than the “original” it’s all food to me.

In pancakes? Yeah, that would be OK.
In, like French Toast? Not so much.
Actually, no big deal. Not like it’d be a big bonus or anything, but still no big deal.

Do you think it’d foam up enough to make capuccino? 😉
Oh, by the way Green Bean, if you have so much in your freezer you can always make breast milk soap with the surplus! Here’s where you can find the recipe [http://www.heartstohands.net/pages/services/breastsoap.htm](http://www.heartstohands.net/pages/services/breastsoap.htm)

Nah, wouldn’t bother me. It’d be so… efficient!
I wouldn’t pour it on my cereal though.

You know, milk wouldn’t be so bad.
But if she tells me she made the scrambled eggs as well, then I’m bolting out the door.

Yeah, I thought about it for 30 minutes or so before hitting submit on that one.

This reminds me of the guy who wrote to the sex columnist back in the mid '90’s and was upset because his friends got in his words, “A pole up their asses,” when he told them that he had JO’ed into the salad to in his words, “Add a little seasoning.”
Now, **THAT** is nasty.

If you mean what I think, that’s sick. Honey, there’s a flaw in the slaw.
I’d eat the pancakes probably just to have a story to tell later.

This would be why you can order a stack of pancakes?

I know its irrational because I drink cow’s milk, but drinking human milk…ew.
Eating someone’s booger wouldn’t kill me, but I sure as heck wouldn’t do that either.
In my head, it’s the same thing.

and then I thought about it, and I meant “here and now”.
I did drink human milk, but you know, that’s _different_. 🙂

I, too, sampled some of Mrs. Bandersnatch’s milk when the little Bandersnatches were nursing, but I was never overly fond of the flavor. As **DAVEW0071** said, it was a bit too sweet, and I didn’t care for the temperature as I prefer my dairy products cold, very cold.
As for making pancakes with the stuff, it wouldn’t bother me unless it altered the flavor of the pancakes drastically.
BTW, when she was nursing and complaining of being nothing more than a good milk cow, I offered to get her a personalized license plate for her car that read “ELSIE”. She was not amused!

I’d love to try some breast milk!

Let’s see…
From a relative= Gross out.
From a wife/girlfriend= sexual turnon.
I guess I would consider it gross from a relative because it’s a _cough_ ahem, fetish I have…but that’s for another thread I suppose.

I would not eat it or drink it, unless it were an emergeny, [like being lost of sea.](http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1355/is_11_99/ai_71251660/)
