Do you drink plant milk?
No, I'm not a vegetarian, but I find that they are surprisingly tasty! So far I've tried almond, coconut and oat, the latter which I think is the best due to its creamy consistency.
shareNo. In my book, fluid from plants is not milk. Actual milk comes from cows. But I certainly understand that many folks like non-dairy "milk," due to allergies or just a taste preference.
shareYeah, I get it. I think its refereed to as a "milk" because its used as milk would be. I still drink the real stuff and often have it in my fridge, but theres no reason we can't drink both! I like the variety. Oat for example goes great in coffee or scrambled eggs.
shareYou have a point in that it's used as regular milk is.
shareAh ! A milk added to scrambled eggs person.
I heard this a long time ago, did it a few times, but somehow was dissuaded from continuing.
Not dissuaded, but it seemed like an old wives tale, an unnecessary step.
So I might try it again if it occurs to me.
Btw, I don't cook much.
I wonder if restaurants do this? It does seem a little weird now that I think of it. Omelettes on the other hand I do not add milk.
shareI recently came across an online list of the best milks to drink. Oat milk was ranked #1, almond 3rd I think, and cow's milk, smack in the middle. Also, I learned most of the best almond milk comes from California and that particular industry has contributed significantly to the wildfire epidemic in that state. Just some food for thought.
shareAlmonds in general require an insane amount of water and are mostly grown in a State which is having water supply issues. Another concern is the strain its having on the honeybee population. Colonies are trucked in to pollinate the trees and a large percentage end up dying from the pesticides.
shareThis is the main reason I'll never get into almond milk. It's not very good for the environment.
shareGlad you are pointing this out. We need to balance our environment, for the good of -- everything !
(I think over population of humans is the heart of the problem, but we can't really expect us to dial back our procreation, considering the various cultural opportunities there are for having a lot of kids. But I digress.)
I just remembered there's a brand of almond milk called "Malk" lol.
shareNice! 😛 When we were growing up, one of my brothers pronounced milk as melk.
shareI love quirky pronunciations. I'll always remember how my grandmother used call horses "husses." I think its a Maine thing.
shareBack in high school a very good friend of mine and I used get silly by pronouncing words and names differently. Crest toothpaste became kreest. Lavender became luhVENdor. Yes, we got the giggles quite a lot. One of my grandsons and I have a game we play where we reverse letters in a name or word. Furniture Mart becomes Murniture Fart, or applesauce becomes sappleauce.
