Swiss Restaurant to Serve Dishes Containing Breast Milk

Swiss Restaurant to Serve Dishes Containing Breast Milk

The owner of the Storchen restaurant, Hans Locher, plans on improving his menu with local specialties such as meat stew and various soups and sauces containing at least 75% breast milk. Mr Locher posted ads this week looking for women donors, who will receive just over three pounds for 14 ounces of their milk. Hans says, "We have all been raised on it. Why should we not include it into our diet? One can cook really delicious things with it. However, it always needs to be mixed with a bit of whipped cream, in order to keep the consistency." The grand unveiling of the new menu is sure to be a noisy occasion with every stray baby in the neighborhood crying and banging on the backdoor.

Breast milk soup, breast milk lamb curry or antelope steak with chantarelle sauce with breast milk and cognac.

These are not typical offerings on a restaurant menu.

In Switzerland, local authorities are less than enthusiastic about what restaurant owner Hans Locher is doing.

He's advertising for women to donate their milk and then using it in recipes.

"I don't understand all the controversy," Locher tells The Telegraph.

"The mother's milk is the most natural thing in the world -- how can anyone be against it?"

Of course, for consistency he mixes the human milk with whipped cream.

Regulations don't cover the use of breast milk, but regulators ruled Locher would not be able to store human milk properly nor ensure it was safe to eat.
