  Coconut milk is for curries, not tea.

    Preach. I vomit at the idea of coconut milk as a cow milk replacement for tea and coffee

  Almond!

  source

  • PeelerSheila@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    I second almond. Can still remember my disappointment that it didn’t actually taste like almonds, which I love.

  Slightly alternative take: alternatives to coconut milk. Evaporated cow with coconut essence is utterly unacceptable!

  source

  • indisin@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    How does one evaporate a cow? Do you have sharks with laser beams or something?

    source

    • Catfish@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Yes. And a hamster with goggles running an industrial salad spinner.

  I don’t mind coconut milk or cream as long as it’s used in cooking like curries or coconut rice but I hate desiccated coconut in meals.

  I think almond milk or soy milk.

  Have tasted almond milk in coffee and it made it taste funny but I had no choice at the time.

  Almond milk. Dunno why but it fucks my stomach up.

  Rice milk is absolutely putrid.

  source

  • CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Rice milk is for hair.

  Second this. I can do coconut as desiccated or flaked - churned into mulk is so not my thing. And I avoid soy, almond and oat milk unless dining with vegans (which rarely happens). Gimme honest cow juice - full fat for preference. And my cholesterol is considerably below the average for my age so the Purity Police can just shove it up their jumper. This does not include the genuinely lactose intolerant of course. But there are so damn many people out there doing I’m A Special Little Petal that the red mist comes down over my eyes with very little warning.

    My kid prefers lactose free milk which means cows milk without the lactose. So many times barista will say “yes. We have soy, oat…”. 😡

    source

    • TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Feels. I don’t mind lactose free cow milk - nearly indistinguishable imo. I just can’t stand the posturing over plant based mulks by the terminally inane. A genuine reason to use plant based is fine - it’s the posers that make my blood boil.

  I can only tolerate good soy milk, if I must (now that I think of it it’s been a longgg time) Fuck all the rest. I drink black coffee most of the time, and if I occasionally have one with milk it’s always cow milk. I don’t eat cereal and the non-animal yoghurt etc is weird.

  source

  • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Fresh made soy milk is delicious and is nice when made into desserts. But it’s not a substitute for cows milk.

    non animal yoghurt is just horrible

    source
  • indisin@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Fellow black coffee drinker here and I actively dislike any milk in coffee. Why is it sometimes weird when people are doing a coffee run and ask us why we only want coffee and hot water and if we’re sure?

    source

    • Force_majeure123@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Ya idk. That doesn’t happen very much anymore for me at least.
      One of my favourite ways to have coffee is iced long black - made with sparkling water. 😍

• tone212_@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

  Out of those I’ve tried (soy, almond, oat), soy is at the bottom, oat at the top.

  source

  • indisin@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    Interesting! I much prefer soy milk over cows milk and find oat milk so sweet that it’s a luxury / occasional thing.

    source

    • tone212_@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Oat milk sweetness isn’t all made the same, there’s unsweetened versions you might like more. I usually buy the barista varieties to have with coffee, sometimes over cereal, they’re not overly sweet. On its own is not nice.

      I’m a cow milk drinker, but too much in a day makes my stomach upset, so I sub with oat when needed.

      source

      • CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        Same. Anymore than 2 cappuccinos a day makes me queasy sometimes but I can drink tea all day long because I only have a splash in there.

        source
• melbaboutown@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

  Yeah they’ve started making a lot of non-dairy icecream and yogurt from coconut milk.

  It’s already so expensive and perishable I rarely buy it and because of coconut milk it now tastes gross too

  source

  • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    almond milk is an ingredient in old medieval recipes but not as a replacement for cows milk

    source
• useless_modern_god@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

  Alternative milk?

  source

  • CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    That’s what it’s called in the biz. I dunno. Give me the full fat mama cow juice any day.

    source

    • useless_modern_god@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      God I love a fresh full cream.

      source

      • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁨23⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        I remember milk when it was delivered everyday in bottles with foil caps.

        There was no such thing as skim or homogenised and the cream would settle on the top and was delicious with breakfast cereal.

    That fake milk stuff. Almond milk etc
