Jersey Gold

pinno

Remember that sensation of pushing the tin foil down and pulling it off and pouring the cream that settled on the top down your throat off a stone cold bottle dripping with condensation?
Doorstep milk delivery*...clink clink hum of the milk float at dawn...



*(without having to go down to the supermarket and having a fight with a white knuckled shopper in trolley mode hell whilst still in yer undies).

Mascarpone
Double Cream
Whipped Cream
Oak smoked Cheddar
Smoked Applewood
Brie and Salad Baguette
Cheese on toast with ham and tomato
Porage cooked in milk
Soft cheese and jam on toast
Italian ice cream
Mozzarella topped pizza...

Dunno about Jersey gold, we were/are a poor working class family. But I remember pouring the creamy bit from silver top onto cornflakes, oh what memories.

When we were kids we had to make do with steralised milk in tall slender bottles. (No fridge )
Absolutely gopping!

Put onto the porridge.
The race was on as first up got the cream. :twisted:

First up also had to make the fire. :evil:

It wasnt all good in the good old days.

When the milk was brought up from the scullery the maid had already put it in a jug we did not have bottles on the table in the morning room and the fire was already alight, first up was always the staff.

So the bottles had different colour tops, what colour did the common people get?

Fail.

The cream was mixed into the milk by pouring the milk into jugs.

The cream was put to one side to make the clotted cream, so it never made it to the jug.

Wonder what the staff added to the clotted cream. :shock:

Never mind first up gets the cream, in big families it was first up-- best dressed, it were right grim up north.

Bit of a bugger if you got up before your mum then

TBH, I only got the pleasure of silver topped milk bottles on our rare visits to the UK. The milk in Kenya went off very quickly and in the year nineteen seventy eighty fifty five, they found rats floating in the milk vats at the City creamery.
After that it was full fat powdered milk or South African UHT.

Jersey gold, yes, but pity the poor Manx people who have to drink 'Man Milk' :shock: .

On my trips to our village in India, we would get fresh buffalo milk, no such thing as sterilisation or pasteurisation out there. The cream off that was something else. The milk was thicker than the cream you find here!
