Do Fish and Milk Agree?

You won't end up with a case of indigestion if you eat fish and milk at the same meal and you can combine the two on your menu without fear of the consequences if each is strictly fresh, writes the CONSUMERS' GUIDE, publication of the Consumers' Counsel Division of the Agricultural Adjustment Administration.

It's an antiquated tale that fish and milk "don't agree." Here is what the GUIDE has to say about this food fallacy: "As long as the foods themselves—the milk or ice cream, the fish or oysters—are fresh and in good condition, you run no risk in combining them at the same meal. Fish chowder and oyster stews with milk are among New England's proudest gifts to the American culinary heritage. Fish baked in milk is the basis of some excellent recipes, too.

"Any foods which may safely be eaten separately may safely be eaten together," flatly declares one of the greatest nutrition authorities.
