health depts have stringent laws and you will get shot at dawn if you drink unpasteurised milk
Yes- and with some reason. I remember that farm we got our milk from in Switzerland; when we started going there, in around 1946, my mum used to to be worried about it and we got tested milk from a modern village dairy. She had her reasons- she'd had TB as a child and spent six months in a sanatorium. By 1947 the herd had been tuberculin tested, and then we had milk straight from the teat, as you say. That was the warm, foaming nectar I still remember.
