OK, so here’s a video of me tasting camel’s milk for the first time…… it’s our first attempt. I think we need better lighting….. <Smile>
Note to self – speak slower. Even though you’re a Yankee, it’s easier for people to understand you if you speak more slowly. And mercy, get better lighting!!!
Edited to add this nutrition label for the chocolate milk!
Debbie Moves to Dubai 
Funny! I was just talking to some moms who give their kids camel milk b/c they are allergic to cow’s milk. They said to be careful because it has a lot of estrogen in it. Who knew?!
Wow – I had no idea about the estrogen….. but it’s some odd-tasting milk, that’s for sure. Not really nasty, just salty and odd……
You said it tastes salty. What is the sodium content on the nutrition label?
I did… and sadly, the bottle from the white milk is gone. But I have the chocolate one and will figure out how to add another photo in there. One thing to remember though – all countries do not have the same labeling requirements….. That’s an interesting question, though and I shall try to remember to check that when we go to the grocery next. Thanks for asking!
I LOVED the part where you questioned whether or not it was racist to call it white milk, you are definitely a Southerner because I think we’re the only ones who are so hypersensitive about that. LOVED THIS VIDEO, but I still wanna try camel’s milk. I’m also finding myself thinking wistfully about moving to Dubai..
Christy, I have lived in the deep south for many many many years, and I agree that we are hypersensitive to racial issues. Sad, isn’t it? I asked my husband to try the milk, and his description was a bit different to mine – “Tastes like the backroom smelled in an electrical supply warehouse I worked in as a kid”. ::shudder:: Thanks for following along – I feel pretty cool, knowing you’ve been on the Paula Deen show and all…. woot!! Y’all check out http://www.southernplate.com if you haven’t already. Hers was one of only 3 cookbooks I brought here to Dubai with me.
And now we know. WHEW! Brave Brave soul! Loved the video!
LOL – it was so late, and I was exhausted….. but I had TBG and he agreed to do it, so we did. Maybe we’ll get better. Or maybe not.
Loved the video! I’m not sure I’d enjoy a salty milk. Just odd. Is cow’s milk readily available in stores there?
Yes, cow’s milk is readily available – but after all the benefits I’d read about camel’s milk I was truly hoping that I’d love it, you know?? Thanks for following along!!
