Skimmed + full fat milk = semi skimmed?

[I_am_marmalade]

Just wondering if you mixed a pint of skimmed milk with a pint of full fat would it be the same as buying two pints of semi skimmed?

Google does it better, in fairness.

It sounds logical, however should milk be mixed?

It just made me laugh out very loud it's my silly sense of humour.
I think there is too much doom and gloom on here at the moment.

Mix one pint of full fat and two pints of water and you get three pints of skimmed.

not quite. to make the different grades of millk they do some mechanical processing that break up the fat to a molecular level, then blend it back into the milk. the fat is skimmed off to get semi/skimmed in the process. as i understand it, left alone the skimmed and full fat would seperate as they arent blended together. like old school milk

Full fat can't be full fat any more, as I don't get top of the milk as a treat.

Anyone drinking full fat milk should be detained.

Milk should be icy cold. I spent five months avoiding milk straight from the udder.

not sure

You can still get unhomogenised milk in the supermarkets. Waitrose do a dutchy farm organic one that's nice.

I only by unhomogenised milk now because a) it's nicer and b) it's been through less processing, which can only be a good thing.

There was a really good explanation in Jimmy's food factory http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p011t4p1

Wasn't full fat Gold top milk only available in Jersey or Guernsey years ago?

Definitely up there as an all time NSC classic thread.
