I’ve never tasted whale milk, but it would most probably be extremely creamy and rich because of its high fat content.

@Smitha Maybe ice cream or butter milk pancakes.

From Wiki: A blue whale’s milk tastes like a mixture of fish, liver, milk of magnesia, and castor oil. It has the consistency of soft butter.

Whale milk ice cream has about 900 calories per half cup.

I have never tasted it myself, but would be willing to try it.

How the heck do they obtain whale milk? I hope they’re not keeping them confined in pens so humans can have a delicacy.

@hearkat That’s a good question. Need to google it!

@talljasperman If the taste is like what @WestRiverrat said then I guess I“ll stick to normal dairy milk.

Are they sure they are talking about the whale’s milk?
And who tasted it?

@ragingloli LOL, I see what you did there.

You’d have to ask a mama whale if you could suckle along side of her baby Beluga. lol

As @ragingloli suggests, Make sure you didn’t get it from a sperm whale.
