Do people still cook in milk much?
Seeing the thread about the Jamie Oliver recipe got me thinking about cooking in milk. I am in my 60's and growing up we had several favorite recipes that where cooked in milk. Lima beans in milk( not creamed) was a standard summer item and I loved the salty/sweet crust that formed on a ham steak baked in milk. Just wondering if others are cooking in milk or grew up with other cooked in milk items.

Also, I wonder if people used to cook in milk more because they lived on farms and milk was always available. Kind of like how my grandma told me they used to add extra eggs to recipes to use up all the eggs they had around.
