Forever Classic 2CA - Holmsey and Jen milking it..... - 01/12/2021
There was a critical milk shortage at 2CA which resulted in a supermarket variety being purchased. Jen, unwittingly, used this milk in her coffee and couldn't drink it. She can pick her milks just by taste. Holmsey's family had a dairy farm. As a result he doesn't drink the stuff anymore. Our listeners Dave, Michelle and Roy all had opinions on the best types of milk, with Roy's reason's for choosing long life legendary.
