What produce/ingredients did you buy or obtain today (2025)?

With cattle contracting the avian bird flu as of late I wouldn't chance raw milk even if were half that price.

I was thinking that as well.

You can pasteurize the milk yourself...

No pics, but I was at the shops today
1 cucumber
2 kg tomatoes
1 pack oyster mushrooms
2 packs chicken liver (dogs)
4 or 5 frozen chickens
5 kg cheap rice (mainly for the dogs, but I eat it if I run out of Jasmine rice)
1 bag dry dog food (dogs)
4 big tubs of yoghurt
Egg noodles
6 cans of tonic
1 baby pack sour gums (and they were real real sour)

But why bother if you can buy it already pasteurized for 1/3 of the price?

Because it is close to the other way around here
20 kw for 2.5 litre unpasteurised milk
50 kw for 2 litres pasteurised.
Plus I can make better yoghurt from the unpasteurised.

But mainly I reacted to the statement that you didn't want to take the risk if drinking unpasteurised milk

Ummm yes.

I've never had unpasteurized milk so I don't know if it's better. I guess l'll never know.

I used to drink unpasteurised milk in my morning tea while milking the cows. It has a different taste when it’s really fresh and unpasteurised.

I have to object to the dogs getting the chicken liver, what about me? I NEED to have chicken liver salad every now and then!

Chicken liver salad??? I've only ever had them fried.

They are fried in butter with a splash of balsamic vinegar and a splash of maple syrup in the pan at the end, then reduced fractionally to make the dressing. The livers and dressing are warm/hot and the salad (usually bitter leaves) are cold.
