Richard Vein @VeinRichard boil 1,000 flies in milk to create fly milk sohist @no_sophist my mom used to make us this when we were kids. though I think she'd only use a dozen or two flies at most. "is it really made with a thousand flies?" we'd ask, and she'd just smile and keep stirring. she didn't want us to know we were poor. and it tasted just the same to me <3
