Especially if it is an ice cream shop that doesn't have access to refrigeration.

scaeagles, I see three possibilities that strike me as more likely than the story being absolutely true:

1. It is just a funny story your friend made up.
2. It is a funny story that a friend of your friend told and your friend has adopted it because it is funnier in the first person.
3. It actually happened and they lied about it not being unusual and were pranking on him to see what they could get the tourist to eat.

But regardless, even if one doesn't have a problem with drinking breast milk (and I don't really), consuming it fresh from an unknown person is not a good idea since there are diseases that can be passed through breast milk. For the same reason I wouldn't drink unpasteurized bovine milk unless I was extremely familiar with the source, I would require pasteurization of milk from unfamiliar human sources.
