Cyanide is just HCN, an inorganic compound. Benzaldehyde is an organic compound with a benzene ring. How can the latter be a by-product of the former?

revised Can soured raw milk be used to make yogurt?
trying to rescue this answer--actually some good points in here that milk is not naturally a "fresh" product as we know it for any extended length of time, and people have been letting it ferment for centuries, if not millenia

comment Grilling burgers: flip once, or keep flipping?
I prefer even cooking as well, but my father-in-law likes to put his steaks on the grill from frozen, specifically to enhance the bullseye effect. To each his own? I guess that's a +1 for pointing out the different effects each method gives and that it's a matter of preference
