What is the difference between sour milk and bad milk? Can I use sour milk in baking? My carton says 11/26.

I always understood sour milk to be milk that is kind of old, starting to go bad but it's still not horribly bad. Some people call this blinky milk. You wouldn't drink it this way but it's ok to use in pancakes, quick breads, etc. Your carton says Nov. 26th so it won't be sour until some time after that. To make sour milk out of fresh milk, add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to a cup of milk and stir. Let it stand for 10 minutes before using.
I welcome soured milk. I use it even if it has separated, just shake it up and use it. Very good for baking anything, use in place of liquid.
Soured milk goes through a rancid stage when it smells and tastes bad (you would probably call this "spoiled milk". At this stage, leave it out of the fridge until it coagulates (a day or so, depending on the temperature). You will find that the bad smell and taste have gone. Replace it in the fridge until the sour milk is quite cold. You can either drink it or cook with it (stir first). The taste is fresh and rather like a mild, natural yoghurt. Many Europeans make sour milk as a drink to have with a meal.
Sour milk only occurs when you have raw milk that has not been pasteurized/homogenized. If you have store milk that smells or tastes nasty, throw it out, it can make you violently sick. Sour milk, on the other hand, has more beneficial bacteria, and is quite good for you. If allows to separate, you can use the curd as sour cream, cream cheese (if you drain it off and allow it to sit in a strainer to get more whey out), and the like, it's much like yoghurt in that aspect. You can also use the whey (the watery liquid left after the curds separate) for many things too.

Sorry, but, this information is also incorrect. Also, is not information either. It's important for me to post correct, educated information not confused and mislead to know what I'm kidding about is just my opinion but also nobody really ever likes my jokes anyway. Your not alone there
Wow! What is this world i just stumbled into..and, I was just kiddin around with ya about what but this is whaaa? Oh, and ladies and gentlemen, I really did enjoy the many different responses to looking into an avocado and this caught my fancy. Thanks for all the ideas..I'm very inspired to read more. Seems to be many who use milk all kinds of ways or purposes. Can't wait to experiment myself! Thanks again. Consider the possibilities..or not, but, I'm having a blast. Later peeps
*Raw* Milk duly noted. Thanks. Now, to look up "raw" milk..lol. I was the one joking about that other comment, just teasin, but a new concept for me.
I didn't know about unpasteurized/unhomogenized milk, this means "raw" milk? That is something I think mighta just got me started looking for recipes for the next 4 hours and so on. Thanks to all, helped me tremendously..
I really like this idea for tips and steps and all this. Pretty nifty. I cannot type my original comment though. Just this new one.
