Cream settles to the top (of what milk should be) so 1/3 to 1/2 of the jug was cream. We shook milk before we drank it to blend it.
There's a small dairy near my parents' house that sells low-temp pasteurized, non-homogenized milk in half-gallon glass bottles. We have to shake the jug to mix in the cream before pouring a glass. When my parents talked about doing that during their childhoods, I always thought it sounded gross...until I tried it.3 -

Still get this where I live... Fresh from the farm. I love it!1 -
I am from Wisconsin.... land of the cows and cheese... so needless to say... YES... LOVE me some heavy cream!!0

Wisconsinite here, too. Parents farmed when I was small so milk came fresh from the barn as a whole food. DH worked at a cheese company when we were much younger and would bring home heavy cream from work sometimes. He also brought home lovely "test" plugs from various cheeses. Yum!
Today I have 1 to 2 TBL of cream in my morning coffee along with 2 TBL coconut oil. We don't even have milk in our home anymore (thanks for the "half and half" tip @silverfiend ). I make some sauces, our favorite being alfredo with cream, parm cheese and butter. I also whip it just for dessert adding some cocoa powder, a little double strength vanilla and sweetner (stevia). If my days carbs can accommodate it, I put a couple of tablespoons whipped on fresh berries. Sometimes I think about putting it on bacon...or putting bacon on it.
Maybe we need to start a cream sauce thread for recipes???2 -
I use it in my coffee, and in foods. Haven't tried it straight unless it's whipped with some unsweetened cocoa. This stuff has saved my life, imo!! I get nervous when the supply is getting low too! I also have my husband using it too!
Btw: I use a tbsp in ten ounces of coffee (without sweetener)!0 -
I whip the cream, then flavour it with coffee extract - put some nuts on top - best dessert in the world.1

Okay, I found an additive-free heavy cream. I enjoy having a four ounce glass of it after I get home from work to brace myself for feeding the cats and dog. I always liked my ice cream melted, too, in the olden days.Well, I enjoy drinking half-n-half straight. I haven't found any heavy cream that doesn't have carrageenan or disodium phosphate in it, so I haven't bought any. I guess I use 2oz of H-n-H in my coffee or tea.

I use heavy cream when I can. It's so expensive, we often make do with half and half. Either way, I almost never buy coffee except for my 17yr old son.
BTW, if you're out of sweetener, an extra dose of cream or half/half really makes it drinkable. This coming from someone who started out on 6-8 pkts of sugar per coffee.0 -
LOL. I use only a tablespoon but could drink it plain.
Old timers like me might see it as no different than what milk used to be. As a kid, I would walk to my neighbor's who had a farm and pick up a gallon of milk for a quarter from their spring house. No appointment needed. Just get the milk and leave a quarter.

That milk/cream combo sounds dreamy...0 -
I use 1 Tb. in my 4 'cups' of morning coffee (actually 6 oz. per cup according to my coffee maker). However, the past 2 weeks, I've been using 2-3 Tb. in my 4 cups because I had an expired carton to use up. I just used it up this morning, so now back to 1 Tb. starting tomorrow with a new carton.0

My mom talks about this all the time. Apparently her and her sisters would get up early and go on the stoop where the milkman had left the glass bottled milk - and proceed to pour the cream off (!) so they could drink the milk. She says it used to make her dad furious. I bet!0
