MILK

i kno which 1 u voted 4, jergs.

:)

"skim"

Goat

nonfat

I really, really, really hate all soy milks. I would rather drink black coffe or eat cereal dry than implement that stuff.

I agree, it tastes like humans are not meant to consume it.

I go with 2%ish.

I LOVE MILK. Anything other than whole is just not worth drinking.

Abbott OTM

There is no option for "powedered milk with water that you had to drink as a poor-ass kid and will never touch again in your adult life."

oops. oversight

'saight, I would not have voted for it anyway, obviously.

organic, direct from source
i never drink/use milk of any kind any more these days!
almond milk is pretty good too btw

Or condensed milk in a tube that sat in the pantry for years because it was only used for making caramel slice.

green milk, in the UK

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

ummm, Eagle Brand Sweetened Condensed

Whoa rrrobyn do you squirt it into your mouth straight from the teat like my grandparents always raved about?

green milk, eew. Is that like a green egg?

cows are hueg and kind of scary, so no! but i have had farm-fresh/teat-direct milk and it is unlike anything else and totally good

I LOVE MILK. Anything other than whole is just not worth drinking.

I know some people will be disgusted, but I drink it straight from the bottle. I live on my own so that makes it OK. The people who come to visit me only drink beer anyway.

1%? 2%? Plz to translate for Britishes.

i eat granola with soy milk every morning :-/

skimmed. or semi-skimmed if that's all the shop has. doesn't taste any worse than full-fat really, though i only ever have it w/ cereal.

I voted "nonfat," but it should be called SKIM.

There is no option for "powedered milk with water that you had to drink as a poor-ass kid and will never touch again in your adult life."

Powdered milk reminds me of camping and billy tea.

Ledge - A typical pint of whole milk contains 3.5% saturated fat, much of which is removed to make semi-skimmed milk (1.7% butterfat) and skimmed (0.1%)

i love me some half and half but i can't drink it anymore. i don't really drink milk much but i've been taking soy milk in my coffee.

what about condensed milk? and coconut milk (which isn't really milk but neither is soy milk)?

coconut milk!! i have that

billy tea = britishes cowboy coffee???

coconut milk + green curry. YUM.

billy tea = tea made in the bush in a billy over a campfire.

so yes, then

correct! (but mongrel version)

I've made billy coffee, which is great. The idea of brewing tea over the fire might have got me beat up, are you britishes?

I am mongrel.

without thai curry paste + coconut milk I would hardly ever cook mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm and so easy.

Women might blandly claim green milk its better for you but half fat anything is almost always bloody awful. skim milk, in all its many obscene permutations is a breathtaking, stupefying and appalling record of personal taste (esp given the already low fat nature of delicious creamy whole milk). It’s a slippery slope, take a stand for blue.

i love milk too, i think my favourite is "2%" but it's called blue-top here.
for the soy haters: TRY VITASOY SOYMILK!!!! seriously, it's the only soy milk to drink. super creamy and yum, and the ONLY soy milk that is really good in tea, cereal etc.

my mum never let us drink it when we were kids, we were only allowed it on cereal cuz it was 'too expensive to just DRINK', so i used to sneak big gulps of it outta the fridge. i learned when i was about 7 that if i topped up the bottle with water, mum would never know the difference ;)

kiwi, are you an actual kiwi? i hate the green top too. i'm pretty sure it's just watered regular milk, only they charge you more for it.

for the soy haters: TRY VITASOY SOYMILK!!!! seriously, it's the only soy milk to drink

ever had 8th Continent vanilla? Tastes so good!!! Same with Chocolate Silk.

i've got the silk plus omega-3 dha in my fridge right now. it tastes aight.

hmmmm... haven't heard of those two. vitasoy is the only good soy available here.

OOP FORGOT A POLL OPTION

I've never liked milk, except in hot chocolate. When I was a kid I sorta had to drink it, but I stopped that around teenage. When I became a vegan, milk was the easiest thing to give up. I'm not a vegan anymore (just plain vegetarian), but I still don't drink milk.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but humans are the only species to drink the milk of another species, right? Also the only species to drink it into adulthood?

i saw milk 'n' cookies in april and they were FUCKING AWESOME. i mean like putting bands half their age to shame.

Milk is gross, but I buy 2% for coffee and cereal and baking.

I love milk. I drink a glass of skim every morning. Whole is a must for cooking though.

i love milk but i got lactose intolerance :(

what is buttermilk even for?

To bathe a pig before the county fair.

I drank the shit out of some chocolate milk on many occasions as a child.

xxpost

cooking

so many of the options are not mutually exclusive. i drink 2% organic lactose free breast milk when i can find it

Who on earth would need a gallon of buttermilk, and wtf is the point of making it nonfat?

The only people I know who drink skimmed milk are overweight or insane!

i love the people who order 3 courses of italian food, all cream-based sauces, then ask for a 'trim flat white'. HAHAHAH IT'S TOO LATE FOR YOUR REDEMPTION, BUDDY.

i have never in my life heard of asking for a 'trim flat white'

then you are a sane, normal, well-adjusted person. may you never have to hear these words. thankfully, we don't bother stocking trim milk at the restaurant where i work.

A flat white is a New Zealand only thing, right?

is it? what do you call it elsewhere?

it has more coffee than a latte, but less milk.

Hmmm I don't know what we'd call that here actually but def not a flat white. I only know the term from a friend from NZ!

flat white is oz as well

I forget to rep for 1%. World's apart from skim (yuck) but still light and palatable.

Yeah, it's in oz. I've heard countless (fat) bogans asking for "skinny flat whites" or "skinny laardays" at cafes.

xp

WHO WOULD HAVE GUESSED?? NON FAT wins!
WHile whole is the perfect form, 2% I can understand- 1% even (as the lesser of two evils) but to knowingly and willingly choose NON FAT! Oh my!

FACT: Drinking NON FAT Milk will cause this to happen to your children: A question of biology .

Hi Ruby yes Im a fellow sheepfuxor :)

oh YAY! a fellow sheepfuxor! whereabouts are you?

Christchurch, howbout u?

wellington. my best friend lives in timaru (timavegas- hahaha!) but is moving to chch soon.

originally from the 'naki though.

I voted for 2%, but only recently have come to understand that skim/non-fat is suprisingly palatable in it's organic form, in which it tastes like milk, instead of water with creepy white coloration.

I would have voted for buttermilk if it had been an option, though, which (in small doses) is awesome.

The 8 "milk is gross" voters are fucking nutjobs, BTW, unless it was a mournful lactose intolerant protest vote.

xpost ahhh the wild ol 'naki! Ive been working at lincoln uni which is a magnet for the naki lads--- but more importantly WHOLE milk doesnt get any better than WHOLE NAKI MILK.

except for warm, unpasteurised, whole milk which has travelled all the way from freakin' hawera to new plymouth (with various stops along the way)... it was a 'gift' from some farming friends, but DAMN it was rancid!

Hawera, Home of the Dairyland Statue!

i managed to live in taranaki for 18 years without ever visiting dairyland - i don't know if that's a triumph or abject failure on my part :/

on the evidence of daisy above i suspect the former

...but daisy can't beat this in ohakune...

Skim milk also has the benefit of not leaving that phlegmy feeling behind.

whatever's in the fridge or the shop
usually semi-skimmed
organic if i'm at home, not if i'm at work
the odd phase of soya milk
and in summer skimmed milk with icecubes in with the ice left to melt a little num num

So am I the only one who likes the skin that forms on heated milk, because everyone seems to feel the urge to recoil in horror at the idea of it. It is delicious though; a little pre-hot chocolate treat.

ugh

then... yes?

Possibly. Though I don't mind it when it's on a pudding or custard.

powedered milk with water that you had to drink as a poor-ass kid and will never touch again in your adult life

Heh - I started buying organic non-instant dry milk to use to make cheese and now use it for everything. I do make it as a whole milk version by stirring in heavy cream though.

MANJ MILK

er, semi-skimmed

milk is disgusting

Since it's all in CAPITALS, I thought the thread title was an abbreviation :-/
(Mothers I'd Like to Know or something)

Haha.

Also gbx is correct. I buy soy for my cereal and the occasional mac and cheese but have no use for milk otherwise.

I worked with this fatty Santa Cluas-looking sixty year old bear once. He showed me a few of his erotic fiction stories. The interesting thing about them was half of the stories were about food (just eating it, not in a sexual context), and the food was described in just as lavish and longing detail as was the getting reacharounds by muscley Latinos parts.

In one story, he was talking about a chocolate pudding, and there was a whole paragraph about the joys of peeling the skin off the top and eating it, which he described as a "desert before the desert." I hated that skin anyway, but now...it's just...it's just...this thing.

or DESSERT rather.

whole baby

fixed

(Mothers I'd Like to Know or something)

Same here -- when I saw the title of this thread, I thought "Moms I'd like to...kiss?"

one great thing about my job is that they keep the fridge stocked with every kind of milk. i only use it for my cereal but it's good to know it's there.

Finally gave up milk last week having been in denial about my lactose intolerance for the last five years. And I feel great! No more bloating but I will miss my breakfast cereals. Plus I live in Tokyo so even more reason to quit.
