Breast milk ice cream goes on sale in London

A new London ice cream parlour is serving up a breast milk ice cream alongside a range of unusual new flavours. The ice-cold breast milk concoction, dubbed the Baby Gaga, will be available from today to ice-cream lovers at the Icecreamists restaurant in Covent Garden.



Each donor receives £15 for every ten ounces of milk extracted by breast pumps. And to maintain the highest standards, health checks for the lactating women are the same used by hospitals to screen blood donors. The Baby Gaga recipe blends breast milk with Madagascan vanilla pods and lemon zest, which is then freshly churned into ice cream.

Founder, Matt O'Connor from Hampshire is confident his take on the miracle of motherhood - priced at a cool £14 - will go down a treat with the paying public. O' Connor said: "The Baby Gaga tastes creamy and rich. No-one's done anything interesting with ice cream in the last hundred years. We've came up with a method of infusing ice-cream with breast milk.

"We wanted to completely reinvent it. We want to change the way people think about ice cream. If it's good enough for our children it's good enough for the rest of us. Some people will hear about it and go, yuck - but actually it's pure, organic, free-range and totally natural. I had a Baby Gaga just this morning and I feel great."
