This was a device to emulsify milk and butter back to a cream. I'm
looking for one or more to buy or trade.

They were made in the UK and I can't find any info on the company and
have seen a reference that says they're out of business.

Anybody know anything about the maker or the product?

TIA.

Bob,

I wish I could help. I bought one of these back in the late 1970s. I
tried numerous times, but was never able to get it to work properly.
Somewhere along the line I either gave it away or threw it out.

It's a great concept. Did you ever use one before? Did it work?

Sorry...

<G> I had one and couldn't seem to get it to work, either. The
principle seems simple enough, put the milk and butter under pressure
and squirt them together through a small hole and they'll emulsify.
Should work.

I wonder if there's any other sort of device to do the same thing.

It's called a "cow", although this device can start with grass.

Wow. Is that, like, a new thing? Who makes them? I looked on Ebay and
they don't seem to have any?

What a cool idea. Grass in, cream out. What will they think of next?

Well actually it's "Grass in, Milk out". Then you have to separate the
cream.

How DO they separate the cream?

Yup - a fork! Just cream the butter softened with the milk, adding it a
little at a time... Takes a while, and works best with a little icing
sugar added. I've done it, but its a pain in the bum as it takes a
while. It's ok for slopping on apple crumble, but you won't get
anything whipable to shove in a cake.

Is this for 1970s food re-enactments? Soggy de-emulsifying trifle
by candlelight to commemorate the Three-Day Week?

They turn up in car boot sales occasionally. I'll keep an eye out
for one, and maybe any of the other British readers of this group
who regularly frequent car boot sales could do the same. Do you
need a Green Lady or Crying Boy picture to go with it?

No - gotta be that ghastly swan thing that was immortalized in Abigail's
Party! ;D

<LOL> Right. And maybe the new currency that hit about then. I'd
already had a lot of trouble with British money, then they went and
changed it and I had to unlearn it all.

I don't know the reference "car boot sales" as we don't have "boots"
on American cars. We have "trunks" for some reason. Now that I look,
neither makes much sense. "Trunk" maybe because early cars literally
had trunks on cargo carriers at their rears. I've never heard of a
"car trunk sale" over here

What happens at such sales?

Either.

Actually the REAL question was about making cream from its components.
That's what I should have asked. Got lots of answers from other places
I posted the question. Whatever happened to the company that made the Bel?

They're flea markets held in car parks (or areas usable as such) where
most of the sellers arrive in cars or vans and put their sale tables
beside their vehicles. Usually at weekends, often in school playgrounds
or the parking areas beside churches, though the biggest one in Edinburgh
is in a disused bus garage converted into an indoor car park.

They began in the early 1980s and for most people they're one of the few
positive things to have come out of the Thatcher era, not that Thatcher
can claim any credit personally for the idea. They're one of Britain's
major cultural institutions, attended by about as many people as go to
church and Sunday football matches put together.

They're generally vast seas of tat with isolated floating items of the
utterly bizarre. I once saw a radium corset from the 1930s on sale at
one; those things are classed as *high-level* radioactive waste, and
would incur disposal charges accordingly. The simple solution? see if
anybody wants to buy it for a few quid... come to think of it, Thatcher
could have given that seller a peerage for entrepreneurial spirit.
