IamBatosai Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Whole, fresh, and preferably from Devon. Mmmmm! Out here in the south of Spain we're hard-pushed to get fresh milk at all, and what we can get either has no flavour, or tastes of egg or cardboard. :wacko: What nobody has mentioned is UHT. Pretty much all milk sold in Spain is UHT, and varies quite a bit from brand to brand. IMO it's all crap, with the only advantage of not having to buy it every day, and it not going off quickly. One of thing I really miss about Blighty is the milk. It sounds stupid, but you really don't know what you've got till yo've gone without it for a while. If anyone's coming out this way soon, be sure to bring me one of those 8-pinters from Tesco's :D What is UHT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karkarinus Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 UHT is more commonly known in England to stand for "Ultra Heat Treatment" although it all boils down to the same thing. Pardon the punn! It gives the milk a kind of thick, artificial taste which those who are used to it don't notice, until they try real milk. It's alright for coffee etc, but as a "standalone" drink it just doesn't hit the spot like the real thing. It's huge business over here. They're always bringing out new types like "Extra Calcium," "Omega3," "Baby Growth," "Extra Vitamins" and loads more. IMO it's just a way to make more money out of something that should be left as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marxist ßastard Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 You forgot goat milk... have to milk it fresh every morning...Have you tried adding in 0.5% reagent-grade hydrogen peroxide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poopgoblin Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 I only drink 2% milk from cow tit. Soy milk is a myth. In the words of Lewis Blavk, "I know that there's no such thing as soy milk because there's no such thing as soy tit, is there?" This may be off topic, but it involves a dairy product. Has anyone ever tried something called saganaki [sic?], it's fried goat cheese, i know it sounds nasty, but its soooooooo good. to bad that the only restraunt around my area that served it closed down :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't eat fried dairy products, I don't eat goat dairy products, and most of the time, I don't even eat cheese. The thought of having all of those together... sickening!

karkarinus Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 In Italy they eat fried provolone, and in Argentina there's also a typical dish of fried goat's cheese with herbs. In Spain there is a dessert called "leche frita" which is just that - fried milk with sugar, and it tastes pretty much like caramel with the consistency of set yoghurt. All of this, especially the Argentinian one (can't remember the name) is actually very nice. Never tried (or even heard of) saganaki though ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How could anybody drink that. I'm going to throw up all the milk I just drank! Maybe this was a bad idea for a debate. :unsure: Anybody prefer chocolate or vanilla over regular milk?

karkarinus Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 LOL. Sep, don't knock it till you've tried it :P "The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown. " H.P. Lovecraft. I never thought I'd like it either, but you never know until you do. And no, I prefer decent fresh cow's milk every time ;) EDIT: It's not a drink, it's more like a set yoghurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
