I have read that worldwide goats produce more milk for human consumption than cows. Which parts of the world drink goats' rather than cows' milk?

Are there no really large countries where this applies? Buck and Flynn, why do you say Greece and Nepal? Did you read this somewhere? Is it total guesswork? Do you have a site that we can refer to? One word answers out of the blue like that aren't convincing. Help me out here. Feb 28 05, 8:05 PM

Peasy wonders why her sarcastic comment escaped the criticism. Must be that birthday maraichinage... Feb 28 05, 8:16 PM

it doesn't have to be just milk... there's goats' cheese, soap made out of goats' milk, cajeta (mexican caramel... may I add it's delicious ... doesn't compare AT ALL to that american *cough cough*) ... I know your question was about drinking goats' milk but since the first part of the question is about human consumption not drinking it... yeah... Feb 28 05, 8:33 PM

I was kind of waiting for Shady to comment on your misreading of apostrophes, Peasy. We used to keep (and milk) a goat so I was interested to read that more goat milk is used than cow milk. I'm guessing Mexicans still milk cows more commonly than goats though eh, Luis? Now can we stop acting the goat and have a proper go-at this one. Feb 28 05, 9:23 PM

I was aware of the apostrophe gmack, dear, but was just making use of the wordplay made available before SOTHC got to it. Besides, Shady knows that one more apostrophe nitpick and he'll be sporting a new pair of ear-rings compliments of his own bits and pieces... Feb 28 05, 9:43 PM

I didn't doubt you were aware of it but you know Shady. In your culinary experience you must have tasted a bit of goat's milk or cheese, Peasy. Feb 28 05, 10:02 PM

Oh yes, one of my pasta dishes uses Pecorino Crotonese as a main ingredient, along with Ricotta Calabrese both of which are made from goats milk. Feb 28 05, 10:16 PM

If cows are bovine, horses are equine, what are sheep and goats? How come cows can give milk continuously, but we can't? If all cows eat is basically grass, where do they get the calcium from for milk? I read that you shouldn't drink more than 1½ quarts of water an hour or more than 12 quarts a day, but how much (preferably in ml) is a quart?
