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.
Definitely dinstinct leches. Also plant milks: almond, oat, coconut. Coconut cream should also count IMO. Then there is condensed coconut milk as well.
I didn't want to show my hand, but off the record, I've experimented with Norwegian beaver milk and Mongolian camel milk to achieve in vitro samples of sesenta y tres leches. Admittedly, it's highly unstable and there have been casualties. Such is the price of progress.
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 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?
To be even more specific, it's a Mexican dessert made of sponge cake, soaked in a mixture of three milks. Wet cake may not sound appetizing, but it's absolutely delicious.
They should be. I have never seen them anywhere in my neck of the woods, but I did find a vape juice that's "Tres Leches" flavored. It's pretty amazing.
Not a big cheese person, doesn't leeches mean cheeses? 4 chessese should be a little expensive than 3, no? elifaa... (explain like im five and american) im five american cheeses
I'll un-brainfart you. If the price of the cheeses per volume is the same, and both three and four cheeses fill the same container, the price would remain the same 🙂

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?
starik@lemmy.zip · 57 pts · 233d
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

I'd be suspicious of a tres leches cake made with coconut cream. Somehow, I don't think it would taste right.

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.

Fun random fact: Mexico calls milk caramel "cajeta". Just don't say that word in public around Uruguay/Argentina
