Out of blending breast milk with Madagascan Vanilla pods and lemon zest, “Baby Gaga” – a breast milk ice cream was born.
Offered by this new London ice cream parlor, British customers have been enjoying each scoop by paying the price of £14.
Such unique idea started on sale Thursday at an icecreamists parlor situated in Covent Garden. It was founded by Matt O’Connor, 44 of Hampshire.
O’Connor says that no one has done anything interesting with ice cream in the last hundred years. Now here he comes to infuse ice cream with breast milk, for the desire of giving a total make over for the people’s traditional ice cream. Thus, it would alter some things that would pop up into someone’s mind when talking about the ice cream thing.
Many have been wondering about to whom the breast milk came from. Well, there’s this 35 year old mother from Leeds in Northern England named Victoria Hiley, a mother of one.
Hiley proudly announces that she had already made a 1 liter breast milk donation.
Covent Garden on the other hand pays £15 ($24) for each 10 ounces of breast milk and has already 15 donors. But of course, these lactating mothers would have to go proper health checks as that of the UK’s National Health Service conducts when screening blood donors.
Mrs. Hiley was urged by an advertisement from the Mumsnet internet forum where a payment will be offered to anyone who is interested to become a breast milk donor.
“It made me laugh.” Hiley said. But according to her, lots of comments came and people eventually had a debate regarding such whether it could be considered genuine. Since then, a thought came to her mind that she will personally find it out.
In addition, the breast milk donor is working with those women who face problems with regards to breast feeding their babies if they would have to realize that the breast milk is actually tasty. She had even insisted that Baby Gaga is easier to digest when compared to that of the usual ice cream made with a cows’ milk.
Mrs. Hiley even added, “What’s the harm in using my (–foul word(s) removed–)ets for a bit of extra cash?”
O‘Connor, the icecreamist, testifies that Baby Gaga breast milk ice cream taste creamy and rich.
Consider that an ice cream is a comfort food- the one you usually wanted whenever you are terribly stressed. Yes, others would find it yucky. But to someone like Hiley, there’s nothing more natural than a fresh mother’s milk.
On O’Connor’s view, if Baby Gaga cream can be good enough for children, then it will also be good for the rest of us.
