Doesn\u2019t all ice cream come from the udders of a cow? It just seems like it\u2019s a different word for ice cream. Because ice cream must be breast milk. Am I wrong about that?\u201d Kaplan waxed poetic in the ice cream shop, adding that she was ultimately more of a fan of the collaboration than the flavor itself. <\/p>\n<p>Charlene Rymsha and Dale Kaplan were fans of the bizarre, limited edition flavor.  Stephen Yang for the New York Post<\/p>\n<p>New mom Adi Barnea said the ice cream did not taste even close to the real deal. Stephen Yang for the New York Post<\/p>\n<p>Dale W. was a \u201cbottle baby\u201d and the ice cream was her first taste of what breast milk might be like. Stephen Yang for the New York Post<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a testament to maternity and a testament to cows and how they give so much to us \u2026 I love cows.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dale W. of Brooklyn, on the other hand, walked more than a mile to get her very first taste of breast milk \u2014 the bottle-fed baby had no idea what the bizarre treat would taste like, but found that it tasted like \u201cvanilla-ish.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI expected it to taste more milky, like a more intense milk flavor. And this is not it,\u201d Dale explained.<\/p>\n<p>The flavor was part of a collaboration between OddFellows and Frida.  Leonardo Munoz<\/p>\n<p>Adi Barnea, with her 4-month-old son, Tom, in tow, was pulled to visit the ice cream shop out of pure curiosity \u2014 but unlike many of the other testers, the new mom had a barometer to compare the replica to. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve tried my own \u2026 Honestly, I don\u2019t think it\u2019d be too hard to replicate it. I always said it takes like leftover cereal milk. It\u2019s a little sweeter than regular milk. It\u2019s not a strong flavor,\u201d Barnea, 33, of Boreum Hill, explained. <\/p>\n<p>But the first time mom said the sweet treat tasted more like mango than breast milk.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the tasters said they were motivated by curiosity.  Stephen Yang for the New York Post<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think I would guess that this tastes like breast milk,\u201d Barnea said after her first taste.<\/p>\n<p>When asked what tasted better, though, she humbly relented that the OddFellows scoop takes the cake: \u201cThis is high-quality stuff. I think this one wins.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Zach De Santis-Salavarria assumed the ice cream would taste salty, but was surprised to discover that the treat was nothing but sweet.<\/p>\n<p>Only 50 free scoops were doled out each day. Leonardo Munoz<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s kind of like cake batter,\u201d he said, comparing it to box cake mix.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s definitely interesting and it tastes a lot better than I thought it would \u2026 It\u2019s a pretty natural thing. And I\u2019m happy to have tried it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The test had him hankering for more \u2014 though he wouldn\u2019t rank it in his top five favorite ice creams, he admitted he was now willing to try the real deal. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy not? As long as it\u2019s ethically sourced, I guess, somehow. I don\u2019t know how that would work, but sure,\u201d De Santis-Salavarria said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I scream, you scream, we all scream like newborns.
