In the old days, milk (and cream) used to sit around for a few days before anyone could use it. The good bacteria would start to breed, the milk and cream would start to set a bit and turn funky, and then you'd have the start of beurre de Normandie and real buttermilk, or Swedish filmjölk. Great stuff! By the way, I used to work at a small cafe way up by Wisconsin that sold Trader's Point milk and yoghurt, but we got so little business that the employees always had to take expired bottles home with them. I really miss working at that place. Hey, a little good bacteria never hurt anybody! In the old days, milk (and cream) used to sit around for a few days before anyone could use it.
