Why does Landa ask for milk?

Why is the title of Inglourious Basterds misspelled?
Tarantino didn’t misspell the title to differentiate his film from the 1978 movie by the same name. He said it instead was a creative decision which he initially refused to explain, simply saying that “Basterds” was spelled as such because “that’s just the way you say it”.
What did Hans Landa want to ask?

What is the significance of the cream in Inglourious Basterds?
By ordering Shosanna a glass of milk and insisting that she add cream to her strudel, Landa’s skills as a self-proclaimed “Jew hunter” are brought to the forefront of the audience’s attention, because the first time the two met was on the dairy farm where he murdered Shosanna’s family.
Why is strudel not kosher?
Trivia. Since puff pastries (what strudels are) during WWII were made with pig lard (not Kosher) due to wartime butter shortage, Landa’s choice of dish for Shosanna could be seen either as a test to see if she’s Jewish (as she’d normally reject the food) or he knows who she is and is forcing her into eating non-kosher.
Why does Hans Landa order milk for Shoshana?
So when he orders Shoshanna a glass of milk and the Strudel with cream he is not doing it as a test to see if she is jewish. He is doing it to show he knows she is jewish and he wants to force her to abandon her dignity by not eating kosher. He orders the glass of milk because he knows she grew up on a dairy farm.
