Currently supplied supermarket milk is both homegenised and with

which is
closer to a traditional sterilised milk. Who's ignorant now?

If you think it is anywhere close to traditional sterilised milk you
need to see a doctor about your lack of taste buds.

Haven't seen proper sterilised milk for years. As I said before foul
stuff, came in bottles with a crown cork. I don't think Capitol has ever
tried real sterilised milk, even UHT is drinkable by comparison.

My mother occasionally bought it in emergencies, and it was vile. UHT is
sort of OK, but I don't like it.

Interesting, UHT is near synonymous with sterilised milk, except the UHT
process is more precisely defined.
