Well, the answer is yes but some of us prefer to take the scenic route to the answer instead of the freeway. Does it bother you that the first post
in reply to the question wasn't - "yes"?

The box milk is great if you are camping and got to have milk for cereal or cooking... Store it until you need it, then drop it on ice to chill it. I
think it stays safe unrefrigerated because it is dosed with enough radiation to kill bacteria?

I believe the box milk is double or triple pasteurized and is alright in coffee, but to me ,used by itself or with cereals, it tastes funny and
nothing like regular whole milk.
Here in Loreto, spoiling of milk has become a rarity, likely do to better refrigeration at the different markets and a local distribution center.

The ISSUE is if box milk is available in the USA. It is and it costs TWICE AS MUCH AS it does in Mexico. I searched for years in different stores and
box milk in the USA usually is sold in 8 oz containers.
Did I use too many syllables for you Chuckie? My God, "Sanskrit" You get a gold star.
Weebray, did your reading comprehension get dessicated as well? BOX MILK is whole milk that has been utterly sterilized and needs no refrigeration.
WTF does that have to do with LICONSA?

Even the coffee better be French Roast or stronger or that weird taste comes shining through.

Cafe negro is one answer. But to me the box milk taste issues pales in comparison to the difference between CHIPILO mantequilla de vaca and USA
butter.

Dude, have you ever bought butter from the cuenca lechera in Rosarito? That stuff is AH. MAY. ZING.
Also, to the point of the original post: Yes. Boxed (UHT) milk is available in the U.S. It is sold in quarts (not 8 oz. containers) and it is
available, of all places, at Staples. It is stupidly expensive; $36 for a twelve-pack, which makes that $12 a gallon. Given that I can buy
five-adjective (organic local blah blah) milk at Whole Paycheck for $7 a gallon this makes Parmalat a stupid investment unless you truly need the
shelf life... in which case DavidE's point about dry milk is well taken.

Yes, the Fresh Jersey Dairy Milk and Butter are Much Better Tasting
In answer to Weebray's question, I did a switch-to-the-box test with my hubs because I was curious as to if there was a detectable difference and
since I don't drink milk or eat cold cereal, he was the best test subject in the house, since the dogs eat anything and everything and don't give much
feedback, except for waving tails.
Jersey fresh milk and butter is available at the Mega Comercial (Pelican) store in north Rosarito and also at the El Jefe mini-market in Primo Tapia,
which is open 24-7. El Jefe is located on the Carreterra Libre (Free Road) which goes through town, just south of the closed Pemex station.

You espeak espanish? Cafe Negro. Black coffee. Woowee, right, yeah, lunch, like "out to ......"
Gringolandia has a lot of stuff that Mexico does not. Sort of like looking for tomatillos in Toledo, or bolillos in Bangor. One item that is difficult
to find is butter that tastes like it has been anywhere near a bovine. Once in awhile mercado sotres carries challenge, costing four dollars and
change a pound. Just a little 150 mile jaunt down to the market.

That's why I make my own. A quart of cream and half a cup of either plain unflavored yogurt or buttermilk. Mix 'em together and let them sit out on
the counter, loosely covered, for 24 hours. Then whip it (your choice, stand mixed, whisk, shaking in a giant jar) until it becomes whipped cream,
keep whipping, and it'll separate into curds and whey. Drain and keep the whey (it's real buttermilk) and then rinse the curds but don't keep the
rinsing water... if you don't rinse, it'll spoil in two days flat, even in the fridge. Add a pinch of salt when you whip if you want salted butter.

Hey, Bob!
I know that your local Smart & Final has boxed wine in red and white.
