Milk, or the lack of..

[PeteXXX]

Probably heading to The Other Place but this is the milk aisle in Tesco this morning due, apparently, to vegan eco people blockading depots and inflicting criminal damage on trucks..

Now what can I pour on my WheatyBangs!?

 

[AndyRM]

Soy/oat milk?

Even less in our Tesco yesterday after I pulled a 2ltr carton off the shelf.......and another one that was stuck to it fell on the floor. It burst and went everywhere!

Different distribution depots, I think, and more expensive.

ok...but as money wasnt mentioned, i was just giving you the option of what you could pour on your Wheatybangs, as you asked

Should still have the UHT milk. Should suffice until they clear out the loonies.

Tossers and misplaced idealism.

Deffo headed to the other side.

We’ve started using quite a few of the alternative milks, like soy, almond, and oat. They’re definitely not the same so can take some getting used to, but they’re not at all bad. There’s a vanilla flavoured soy milk which I quite like on cereal. Oat is nice in coffee, but I haven’t found anything that really works for me in tea. Almond is OK on cereal and in quite a lot of cooking. Also, consider the sweetened versions. I would normally never choose a sweetened version of anything, but, it turns out that milk is quite sweet, and sweetened almond milk is probably a closer match on cereal.

Fair enough. Personally I drink my coffee and tea, on the rare occasions that I do, without milk.

You do have to be careful with plant based milk as it can split, which looks very unappealing!

@PapaZita - SWMBO got me to purchase som pea and potato milk cartons for us to try, as she's a Dietitian and wanted us to test them for possible use by her patients.

Juiced vegan may be a substitute for milk.

I've had that. Swedish isn't it? From the nation that brought you fermented herring, did you expect anything less?

People paying all that money for oatmilk, when it's effectively very watery porridge makes me smile. It's not that difficult to make for a fraction of the cost. The companies must be laughing like mad at their customers, and the most costly bit of the product is liable to be the packet it's in.

The price some people will pay to appear 'trendy'.
