A Secret Fourth Thing

That’s good. Unless, of course, somebody comes up with seis leches. Then you’re in trouble, huh?
But all of them were deceived

For another leches had been made...
I think we can go a lot further.
Common milk producers:
Cow
Bison
Goat
Sheep
Horse
Yak
Reindeer
Common milk types:
Evaporated
Condensed
Powdered
Whole
2%
1%
Skim
By my count, we should be able to do at least cuarenta y nueve leches. Are we even trying?
Are you?
If we count whole, 2%, 1%, and skim as 4 distinct leches, what’s to stop us from creating a gradient of leches ranging from 0% to 3.25% milk fat?
Infinidad Leches
That's a good point. It seems to be an infinite series that should converge on one value of leche. If we solve for that, we should be able to make the ultimate torta de leche, which, paradoxically, is made with only one supreme leche.
What about condensed milk or powdered milk? Do they count as distinct leches as well?
Definitely dinstinct leches. Also plant milks: almond, oat, coconut. Coconut cream should also count IMO. Then there is condensed coconut milk as well.
excuse me but 2%, 1% and skim are bastard milks we don't accept those here
The "Cuatro Leches" is like the jackasses on The Price is Right who, seeing you've bid $500, bids $501.
Jackasses? Sir, that's just good strategy. What would you do? Bid $650, just to be sportsmanlike? The Price Is Right is serious business, you either go for the throat or you go home empty handed.
The kind of moron who, when asked if they’d like their pizza cut into 4 or 6 slices, says “4. I could never eat six!”
Who cuts a pizza into only four slices?
The tres leches appears to be leaching one of its leches. The quatro leches has no problem holding all of its leches, even though it has to hold one more. How are these the same price?
Dumbass eastern european here - what is Tres Leches?
Is three leches a thing outside of Mexico?
Yes, absolutely yes.
Loads of latin countries have tres leches. I prefer the Caribbean ones.
Tell me... how many leches you see.
Coquito I call Ron con 5 leches.
Leche evaporada, leche regular, leche condensada dulce (lechera), leche de coco, y crema.
Why have 3 or 4 when you can have 5 and rum?
Dulce de leche (which is essentially caramel made from milk).
So tres leches cake has whipping cream, condensed milk, and evaporated milk. Cuatro leches cake adds dulce de leche.
I thought leche was milk?
Tres leches is a cake with condensed milk, caramel, and whipped cream. So three dairy products. It's delicious.
