Is milk a food or a drink?

Answer 1

The milks of other species of mammal are one of humankind's most ancient foods--it was in fact the most significant single contribution of the Neolithic peoples' domestication of animals to the human diet. Over the millennium most species of livestock have been milked, including in various parts of the world horses, donkeys, camels, buffaloes, and yaks (the only major exception is the pig...), but today in the West the term milk, unless further qualified, is generally taken to refer to cow's milk...The word milk is ancient too. Since the action of milking involved the pulling the hand down the animal's teat, this verb eventually came to mean milk'. But it was the Germanic languages that picked it up, in the form *milks, as a noun."
