You MUST post the recipe. This HAS to be th...OMW! You MUST post the recipe. This HAS to be the dish I'm looking for and have been all my adult life! My dad was a milk hauler during my growing up years and took the milk from the farms to the dairy. Once in a great while, he was told at the dairy that the bacteria count was too high for the dairy to use and he would have to dump the milk. Once my mother took a gallon or so of the raw milk and made something like this dish. Your description is spot on as what I remember. The photo is not exactly as I remember. I remember smaller floating islands, but yes, they must have been meringue, as you say. A few years later, when Dad had another load of milk that had to be dumped, I asked Mom to make it again. Those were the only two times in my life I've had it. I looked for a recipe online once, but Mom only called it "Float" and my search was fruitless. <br /><br />I don't know why Mom chose to make it with raw milk. Maybe because it was a cooked dish? Or maybe it was a coincidence that she wanted to make a milky dish and Dad had all this milk going to waste and then I just associated it with the high-bacteria milk as a kid.<br /><br />Anyway, THANKS SO MUCH!Deanna Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13316269034741300343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956538942392497830.post-54186384354263311582010-08-04T14:42:12.340-04:002010-08-04T14:42:12.340-04:00I'd love the recipe, Margo.
