The dessert, called Baby Gaga, is churned with donations from 15 women who responded to an advertisement on an online mothers' forum.
One of the women, Victoria Hiley, 35, said if adults realised how tasty breast milk was more new mothers would be encouraged to breastfeed.
Each serving of Baby Gaga at Icecreamists costs £14.
Mrs Hiley's donation was expressed on site and pasteurised before being churned with Madagascan vanilla pods and lemon zest.
Icecreamists founder Matt O'Connor placed an advert appealing for breast milk donations and believes his new recipe will be a success.[...]
"If it's good enough for our children, it's good enough for the rest of us," he said.

That is very true, but I still find this rather "squick-y" for some reason. XP
Thanks for the article though - I prompted me to learn that HIV and Cytomegalovirus can be transmitted via breast milk.
Heck, I don't know if I'd even pay that amount for really, really good ice cream! Unless it'll feed me for the entire day or something.
Possibly because adults and chilren need different nutrients and because children have no way to say no to human breast milk. In opposite to you, you creepy pervert :)
But the "secretions" of some filthy bovine doesn't bother you?
Hell, I'd try it straight from the source if she'd let me.
Of course, the idea of having hundreds of women lined up in a milk factory sounds like some post-apocalyptic nightmare, but we aren't really talking about that.
Bovine milk contains proteins that humans simply cannot digest, hence the growth of Lactaid. It is best used for baby cows. Human milk, on the other hand, is a fantastic source of nutrition and tastes great to boot.
So, I say bon appétit!
Folks, also consider where *else* your mouths have been on/in a human and *then* tell me how sterile breastmilk (which is how it comes out) is gross??????
"What could be more natural than fresh, free-range mother's milk in an ice cream?..."
Because as a baby you KNEW who it was coming from.
That said, I'm going to need to see what these 15 chicks look like before I start in on a "boobie sundae."
Not so tasty now, is it?
Just like Mom used to make.

Maybe we shouldn't be eating ice cream at all, no matter what kind of milk is used, I dunno.
>>So breast milk is sterile.. right. Sure why not, I mean, it's the internet. We can say anything.
Here's another shocker for you: urine is sterile. The things you learn on the internet eh?
>>That said, I'm going to need to see what these 15 chicks look like before I start in on a "boobie sundae."
A picture of the boobs in question on the menu would be nice.
>>Biohazard. And no, I don't drink cow's milk, either.

No. And I didn't say that.
In any case: if it's safe enough for newborns; I'll take my chances.
And according to the article the milk has been pasteurized.
