Breast Milk Ice Cream A Hit At London Store


Anyone pining for some ice cream in London now has an unusual option to consider: ice cream made from mothers' breast milk. The Icecreamists shop has made headlines for using milk from as many as 15 women to make its new "Baby Gaga" flavor.

The rare offering proved a hit with customers at the Covent Garden store — the first batch sold out within days of being introduced. A serving of Baby Gaga, which is reportedly flavored with vanilla and lemon zest, goes for 14 pounds — or about $22.50.

The milk came from women found on an Internet advertisement. And the folks at Icecreamists say all the milk "was screened in line with hospital/blood donor requirements."

In an interview for British TV, store founder Matt O'Connor says, "It's pure, it's natural, it's organic, and it's free range — and if it's good enough for our kids, it's good enough to use in our ice cream." Watch the video here:

4. I'd like to know...

if they screen these women for hepatitis B, C. HIV is not likely to be transmitted this way. Hep B, certainly could.

What fools.

7. "was screened in line with hospital/blood donor requirements."

Miss this part did you?

[hlthe2b]

15. Yes, I did... but given the profit motive.... I don't think I'd trust it

even if I thought the idea to be anything other than ridiculous (and slightly repulsive).

5. Are they hiring "donor assistants"?

[MurrayDelph]

8. You know, if they were to hire

lactating witches, their work would be half-done for them.
