How does the nutritional composition of a species milk have anything to

do with what the species nutritional needs are as an adult?

Cows, like humans, also start out on milk. Cows, like humans, than move

to a different diet. Neither one of the adult diets is similar to the

composition of the mothers milk they started on.

Why bother with butter at all?

Dunno-

Never had the opportunity to taste it, and, unless I were really

thirsty or hungry, I think I'd pass:

" Tibetan cuisine

Tibet is no place for gourmets, so be warned, do not go there for its

culinary delights. Normally part of the enjoyment of visiting

different countries is to taste the food on offer, but in Tibet,

eating was a necessity rather than a pleasure.

The staple food of the Tibetans is tsampa -- roasted barley flour

mixed with yak butter tea into doughy mouthfuls -- which leads me to

the subject of yak butter tea.

Imagine a bowl of tea with stale butter floating on the surface. The

drink is definitely an acquired taste. Some Tibetan women advise not

to drink it cold because the rancid globules of congealed fat will

wreak havoc in your stomach. Too true. Normal tea was sweet and milky;

sometimes I wasn't sure which was the lesser of two evils. "
