Sour Milk

Every morning on our street several people walk by selling sour milk (leche ágria). Most vendors carry little coolers on their backs filled with cups of sour milk. But one vendor does it the old-fashioned way. He carts big milk jugs in the back of of his pickup and ladles out sour milk as people bring him containers.

How do people use sour milk? They usually pour it on gallo pinto (rice and beans) or mix a little sugar in and drink it.

Needless to say, we haven't been able to bring ourselves to purchase milk from the back of a truck. Sour milk is just one of those things that still makes our stomachs churn.
