But can you?
I know that not every mammal’s milk can be made into cheese, the protein and fat balance is off in many animals that do not eat grass. Therefore I assume it is possible the platypus’ milk and eggs may not behave the same way cows milk and chicken eggs do.
All I know is that they don't have breasts, so they sweat the milk out through their skin.
I had no idea. This will require an unbelievable amount of editing on my platypus furry porn.
Keep us updated
Plz dont.
I, too, am very curious.
This is also true to echidnas, keep this information far away from Ken Penders!
I did draw Dokibird with a cloaca though because "birds have cloaca", but still kept her breasts.
Same
Are you me? I came here to ask this question.
That being said, I'm confident that you could make a custard with it. It might require significantly different ratios than one made from cow milk and chicken eggs but I'm almost positive that you could produce something that is technically a custard.
Wait really? So can you not make human cheese?
Is that a research grant I hear calling?
Yeah, I don't think human milk has enough protein to make a decent cheese, but it can be supplemented in different ways to make hybrid cheeses. This recipe suggests using cow's milk at a 1-1 ratio:
