I can't help with bibliography right now, but milk turned blinky and then

sour before if clabbered. And then the product was clabber in our family,

not 'clabbered milk'. Arkansas-Texas South Midland variety. Some people

confused blinky and blue john milk, but of course we knew the right terms!

Fred Tarpley did a survey in Texas in the 1960s and found some interesting

distributions, referring in his publication to the "blinky / blue john

isogloss." With pasteurization and homogenization milk doesn't do any of

these things on its own.
