This story might be more appropriate for Luke's Ice Cream Blog, which I've been woefully negligent in maintaining lately (apologies to the six readers). But if I had to weigh its comparative merits under the headings of Ice Cream and Stupid, I'd say it works better in the latter, so here we are.
Friend of PTSOTL Tonie pointed this story at me, facewards, and, well, as one of the people on the street in this BBC video point out, "I think there's a bit of a yuck factor." Well said, nameless London person. I'd say more but I've got an esophagus and mouth full of stomach milk at the moment.
A restaurant in London's Covent Garden is serving a new range of ice cream, made with breast milk.The dessert, called Baby Gaga, is churned with donations from London mother Victoria Hiley, and served with a rusk and an optional shot of Calpol or Bonjela.
I literally did not understand a single word in that sentence. Except for churned. I know what that means, but now I wish I didn't.

Here are the two fellows selling it above. I can't really see any reason not to trust them, can you? Aside from every single thing about their faces.
Mrs 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.
"Some people will hear about it and go yuck - but actually it's pure organic, free-range and totally natural." BBC News
Not to be outdone, The Daily Mail covered this hot new as well. "One from the chest freezer: Restaurant sells breast milk ice cream" reads the headline. Hehe. I see what they did there. Freezer is a pretty universal slang for women in the UK I understand.

This is one of those things where at first you’re all, “Gross!!!” and all, “I’ll definitely stick to the stuff some grubby farmer squeezes out of the teat of a ground-dusting cow sack,” and then you’re like, “Wait, maybe I’ll be vegan,” but then you’re all, “Fuck it, those guys suck.”
haha, when you put it that way...
