So, yeah. For reasons being left undisclosed at this time, I am now in possession out of about a gallon (and a bit) worth of milk that is not exactly fresh. It's not undrinkable, but it's smell is not very pleasant. I'd say that on the scale from "Gulp....Yum!" to "Sip...Blechhhhh!", it's at "Slurp.....Hmmm." (and may go to Slurp/Euuhhh at any moment).

The problem is, I kind of know nothing about food, so the only thing I can think of to do with the milk is make crude but passable homemade milkshakes with it - and mixing up about half a dozen of those over the next few days probably wouldn't do my body much good. So does anyone have any suggestions of things that can be done with less-than-tasty milk, aside from just wasting it?

Uh, I'm pretty sure you can still use it to cook?

Like if you're making soup and want to make it kind of creamy, throw about a half cup to a whole cup of milk in the broth while it's cooking.

I drank milk at this stage of expiration before. It didn't kill me, nor did it make me particularly uncomfortable, but it's hard to get past the smell.

I recommend just pouring it into the Earth.

If it hasn't reached the expiry date, it could be used for cooking various items as mentioned earlier in this topic. Otherwise, you could still drink it too, although it isn't particularly pleasant as I'm sure you're aware.

No, really. don't drink it. Or do anything with it. Toss it.

Unless you think the idea of making your own sourdough bread is awesome, in which case, uh... toss it anyway and do something safer.

Make cheese. Put it all in a pot and bring it to a boil. Then dump in about 2/3 a cup of lemon juice. Keep boiling and stir. Pour through a strainer and press all the curd together. Strech it out like you would pizza dough so it will hold together and wad it back into a ball. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Add shredded coconut for a treat. You've got a pound and a half of yummy paneer.

I remember my mom once yelling at me because I was about to pour some milk out just because it was two days after the expiration. Her reasoning was: "Its not expired! Do you really think those dates are anywhere near correct? It lasts a lot longer than that because they know that poor people are going to keep drinking it past that date. Only taste will tell you if its actually expired!"

So I have no idea if thats true, but I have used the taste/smell rule ever since, never failed me.

you could sell it to the Tenctonese kids down the block who are too young to buy their own. Just don't get caught.
