Other.  

Don't really drink milk much except with the occasional bowl of cereal or oatmeal, but do loves me some cheese.  Cheddar, Brie, Swiss, Bleu, Cottage, feta, Edam, Colby, Munster ... pretty much any coagulated milk that doesn't make me sick.

Yeah, it's not a good sweet either.  Seems to me I bought an unsweetened variety when I used it that was a little better.

I will find it some super-milk and buy a big chocolate cake....Big smile

Tried the goat milk a long time ago, it wasn't too bad.  Fairly rich. 

Soy and Almond I've had as well but can't say I enjoy them.

I need to find some of this super rich milk, it sounds amazing.  I should point out, I'm not talking about just a bit of milk to add to Coffee, I'm talking about milk to DRINK with cereal, cookies, or whatever.  So at least a nice tall  glass per day. 

I can't see the point of enjoying milk any other way.  Skim milk for me is like drinking half milk, half water, there's no pleasure.

We have a similar product:
The cream settles to the top just like it used to in the old days when milk was delivered in glass bottles.
5% fat, so as you say - beyond whole milk, I know this as "gold top" thought it is also known as "full-cream". I use this to make rice pudding as it makes the richest, creamiest puds.

To produce this milk they don't necessarily add extra cream. Traditionally the high-cream content would because they used cows that naturally produced a higher fat content such as Jersey or Guernsey (like the one shown on the label). 

Interestingly whole, semi-skimmed and skimmed milks are all processed by first removing all the fats and then adding it back in to produce the required fat content so "whole milk" is actually skimmed milk with 3.25% cream added back in.
What?

Chilled breast milky flavour-wise, sweet and creamy, but you have to be careful of the source for it to be safe as milk from the grocer. I don't like really freshly squeezed milk of any kind (warm milk straight from the cow is a bit yuck for me). For normal consumption I get homogenized 3.25% mf, and drink too much of it (addicted to choco moo), but I wish we could easily get creamier milk here. I used to avoid milk when Scuba diving, not done much of that in many years, and saw a sci-fi film that put me off milk for a while (at least unlike the character I am not lactose intolerant) .

Whole. Everything else is a con. 

Unless you're drinking the stuff neat by the quart then the amount of butterfat you consume in tea or coffee is going to be about the same regardless of the percentage in the carton because you generally use more of the lower fat milks...

For example if you put 15ml of whole milk in your beverage then that contains 0.55gm of butterfat. If you put 15ml of 2% semi-skimmed in your beverage the colour won't be right so you add 7.5ml more - now it has 22.5ml of 2% milk which, (low and behold), now contains 0.55gm of butterfat. 

Now the problem is not the fat content because on the face of it the amount of butterfat you consume through drinking milk doesn't add up to a great deal. In a week that's going to be considerably less than what you'd spread on your toast in one morning. You'd need to drink 12.5 litres of 2% milk to consume the same butterfat as a contained in a 250gm pack of butter (21 pints = 8oz of butter). Aside from the on-going debate about whether eating fat makes you fat or not, it's going to take a hell of a lot of milk to make anyone fat.

The problem is the sugar (lactose) content for all these milks is the same - roughly 50gm per litre (or 1oz per pint) regardless of whether it is whole, semi-skimmed or skimmed  - so when you add 50% more 2% milk to your tea or coffee not only are you consuming the same amount of fat, you are now consuming 50% more sugar.

Of course most of that is moot if you are drinking lattes all day - but as I said, it isn't the fat content you should be worrying about...

So to recap - if you only use milk to colour your tea of coffee then whole milk is the better option.

^ Ditto.
We have these ready made shakes here in the chiller section that are mega-creamy and delicious, especially the Strawberries & Cream variety. Might have to get me one today.

What is that David?  Something beyond Whole Milk?  Let me know if you recall the name, I'd like to look for it.  I love maximum richness in milk.
