147 How to Survive Drinking Milk in the Early 19th Century

So you are a typical early 19th Century American type...

Is there a dairy scene? Yes.
But are you drinking milk? Maybe... and probobly only for breakfast.
Ok... but is it Raw Milk? Most likely not.

In the early 19th century, most milk products were at least heated (cheese) or outright cooked - almost everything else - or downright boiled - your breakfast milk.

Funny thing is, Americans have retained their passion for boiled milk at breakfast. We just flavor it with coffee and tea now.

For more on this and how the evolution of the American Barn got us ready to have Milk Runs on trains, listen in.
