    1. Oh, my apologies! Where it references warm milk, it is actually referring to the warm cream from the steps before. I’ll update to be clearer.

    1. It’s a Vegetarian main dish but you could certainly do either with it. I’m with you though- I would eat it as a meal and just fill up on it. 🙂
