Ya like it, drink it. Ya don't like it, skip it...what's the big
deal with that?

You NOT liking milk will not change anyone's life, including mine.

I don't like lamb.

Probably because frying is a cooking operation that only requires one
pan thus bacon, eggs, mushrooms, many types of sausage, tomatoes, even
bread. Delicious even if health benefits are marginal!

That sounds reasonable.

OED is no help. I'd like to find out when "bacon and eggs" or "eggs
and bacon" was first found in print.

Bacon was cured so it didn't need refrigeration in temperate climates.

Slap a couple of rashers in the pan; when you have enough fat, you can
cook the rest.

When I was a kid, I loved fried bread - fried in bacon fat on both
sides. Served with eggs and bacon - or even by itself. I put HP
Sauce on mine.

With you on that one. Gave up drinking liquid milk as soon as the
parents allowed us to! Was absolutely revolted by all the people
drinking milk with their meals at university (in the Midwest). One bowl
of cereal with low-fat milk per week is all that is tolerable for me.
It's ok in cooking though cos it's seasoned with something.

New Orleans has an "eye-opener" called a brandy milk punch. It's milk,
simple syrup, and brandy shaken together and served on the rocks with a
generous sprinkle of nutmeg on top.

It also makes a very nice nightcap.

Me too! Me too! The best is ice-cold whole milk (BAD4ME) then there
is no-fat (YUCK)"blue" milk (rather drink H2O) fat free & calcium - ok
(but ya gotta shake it all the time) then 2% OK (but still too much
fat) so I drink 1% - at least I can't see through it! I love to drink
milk with anything, but there are a few must haves: No milk? I won't
eat oreos, chocolate chip, peanut butter or oatmeal raisin cookies.
Or cake. Or banana bread. Or really spicy foods.

I don't dislike it, but I rarely drink it these days. The major
exception is if I've got a pan of just baked cornbread. Either
crumble the cornbread in a bowl and pour milk over like a cereal, or
slather a wedge of cornbread with butter and drink milk with it.
Either sweet milk or buttermilk will do, but tend to prefer sweet.

If I have cerea, then plain soy milk.

I love milk, always have. Not skim or powdered.....real milk. After

Last glass of milk I drank was when I was about 14 and my mother made me
drink the vile stuff.

I like ice cream (especially a good vanilla) cheese, custard, whipped cream,
and put milk in sauces, I just despise drinking it straight.

We have almost always used 2%. For some reason, Crash doesn't have
the lactose intolerance issues with whole milk that he has with the
lower octane varieties. So we recently switched to whole milk. The
only problem with that change ... it calls out to me. Provocatively.
Insistently. Intently. "Resistance is futile. I am milk."

A physician friend of mine postulates that most people who truly despise
milk have at least a mild intolerance - they lack the enzymes to
properly digest the sugars and/or proteins which triggers GI issues
(which may be mild) but their brain still makes the subconscious connection.

Could be. I've also heard that the body will crave what it needs to survive
so maybe the cheeses and custards make up for the straight milk deficiency.

Yep. The more processed the dairy, the less likely to trigger a
reaction. Cheese and yogurt are already partially broken down via
fermentation. Don't know about custard, which is merely cooked.

I have always loathed the taste of every type of milk, even as a child,
except for buttermilk. For some reason I have always found buttermilk
appealing.

It's extremely rare for me to drink a glass of milk at all, especially
since we've started using low-fat milk.

If we buy whole milk I'll sometimes drink it by itself, but I usually
don't bother.

I've never understood the "milk and cookies" thing.

On the rare occasion I eat a biscuit (cookie), I usually have a cup of
tea or coffee with it.

Anijsmelk.

I've tried it.

It's... not my thing.

(I ended up giving the rest of the anise cubes to a Dutch friend, who
was very happy to have them.)

I quit drinking milk when I was weaned as a small child. My father loved
buttermilk but I only use it to cook with. Big pone of cornbread last
night had two cups of buttermilk in it. Cornbread was a side dish for
Senate Navy bean soup. I make my oatmeal with milk instead of water and
that's about as close to drinking the white stuff as I get.

Doesn't bother me at all. I only buy a half gallon at a time so it's my own
fault when I do run out. A gallon would probably spoil before I finished
it.

I guess what bothers me is to have to go to the ACME for a new half gallon
but more often than not, that turns into the familiar "what else do I need
'since I'm here'?". syndrome.

Best,

Yes, I do panic, and that's why I always have a carton of the
unrefrigerated milk on hand that I can pop in the fridge when needed.

Better than nothing.

I think among adults I know, the fraction of those who will
drink a glass of milk with a meal is low, below 5%, possibly
below 2%.

It's possible it's the sort of question that people over-respond
to on polls (some of which are conducted by Milk Boards and such.)

Me, too, because I put milk in my coffee. I can't even imagine
drinking it black. That half-liter of coffee really sets me up for
the day.

Cindy Hamilton

I had 15 years of stomach problems before I figured out I had an
intolerance to milk. Now I only have Lactaid fat-free milk in the
house. I don't drink plain milk anymore, but use the Lactaid milk for
cereal and iced mocha drinks, and cooking, etc. After so many years of
fat-free, regular whole mlk gags me.

Same here, except I was about 5. I can remember sitting at the kitchen
table and not being allowed to get up until I finished my stupid glass
of milk. Amazing how parents can completely turn you off certain
foods.

But, like you, I thoroughly enjoy all kinds of alternative milk
products.

Are we gonna change this thread to "black vs. cream/sugar in my
coffee"?

I ask because I was a cream and sugarer for 28 years (omg!!), and last
year I finally started drinking my coffee black, and now I don't miss
my cream and sugar at all. Of course it helps that I drink really good
coffee too, but I always have. I'm a coffee snob! (Hey Bryan! Maybe I
should get an ID of "coffee snob"! ;-) )

I grew up with buttermilk. I love the stuff.
But, it's getting harder and harder to find a good buttermilk.

I don't know how many "soured" containers I've returned to the grocer.

I prefer cream, will use milk, and will tolerate creamer. No sugar,
the stuff in the creamer is bad enough. I don't believe that God
intended coffee to be sweet.

Gross stuff! But I'll drink a jug of buttermilk.

Mm. I use a bit of Splenda and heavy cream in Tea.

Coffee has been relegated to "treat" status due to it's effect on my
digestive system. Coffee gets a packet of sugar free hot cocoa, a
generous amount of heavy cream, and a shot of Brandy or Rum.

If I drink Tea iced, it's plain with no additives. Earl Gray's is good
that way!

To me there are some meals that just go with a glass of milk.
Eggs & toast (bacon optional) and pot roast with carrots and
potatoes. I have no idea why those particular meals go with a
nice cold glass of milk, but it's pretty much the only time I drink
it. Being that milk and my guts don't get along, I don't have it
very often.

It's also nice with a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
