A taste for buttermilk
Here’s a subject that
doesn’t often occur organically
in conversation - buttermilk.
I mean, most people
under the age of 40 recognize
only buttermilk for its
use in baking or maybe not
at all. Do you know anyone
who actually sits down and
pours themselves a tall, cold
one of buttermilk? I do.
Buttermilk is really poorly
named as there is little
butter in it. Buttermilk is
the fluid left after the solids
have been churned out of
milk and used in production
of butter. Buttermilk has
kind of a tart flavor due to
the lactic acid that is left
after the lactose in milk has
been fermented. This acid is
what causes the protein in
milk to curdle and the fat
easier to churn into butter.
There are bacteria in buttermilk
that seem to help maintain
a healthy stomach,
which is where a lot of
healthy and unhealthy
items get sorted out.
My dad likes buttermilk,
a lot of buttermilk. He has
drank it as long as I can
remember and has never
had to worry that someone
may have drank all of his
buttermilk as most careful
people would stop pouring
as soon as their nose gave
alarm to what was planned
for the lips.
Dad and I recently spoke
of the origins of his taste for
buttermilk. Dad was waiting
in line at the Newfolden
Elevator to dump a truckload
of grain. Anyone who
has ever sat in a line of
trucks waiting to cross the

termilk and found it satisfied
his thirst and his
hunger. The cool, clear milk
probably was good for his
thirst, and the leftover milk
solids probably had much to
do with satisfying his
hunger. Today, creameries
sometimes add flecks of butter
to mirror the old-style
buttermilk but Dad would
have been drinking the real
stuff. My estimate is that
this would have been somewhere
in the early 1960s or
so. I hadn’t tried buttermilk
since I was a child, so I
bought a pint. Lisa uses buttermilk
in cooking and did
so with a portion of the pint
I purchased. I decided to
taste what was left. It was
an odd combination of
creamy, sour and cheese
overtones - all tastes that
did not belong in the same
room, yet were not too bad. I
was mildly repulsed and
considered the carton date
but found it current. I soldiered
on and could actually
consider a continued relationship
with the flavor and
consistency. These both were
not inviting enough to beckon
me for repetition that
evening; however, I do
believe I will try a bit more
this week.
I suspect buttermilk was
from a time when people
used food more carefully and
reverently. Our lives of plenty
have caused us to pass by
such food and made us
unaware of the good of many
of these foods. A recent trend
in food is to sprout or ferment
foods to amplify their
inherent nutritional benefits,
and buttermilk is a food
that fits into this category.
My dad always said buttermilk
was good for his stomach,
plus it is low in calories
and apparently, tastes darn
fine while it satisfies your
thirst as you wait in line to
dump grain
