Voted 2%. Goat is a no-op since it has a remarkable lack of bovinity.

multiple voting should be possible here. I voted "whole" but could also have given my vote to "almond", "goat" or "other" (sheep, camel, buffalo, strawberry, banana or hazelnut)

You could try organic.  In my opinion, it tastes much better, even the skim.

I prefer the alternative brand "Schmilk". Has all the ingredients of milk but with none of the taste!

You may take all the umbrage you like, but that won't make British milk in the 1980s taste any better.

Voted for skim as that is what we use and drink at home (its all the wife will drink or use). 
However, my brother in law is a grade A dairy farmer in the states (hardest damn working person I have ever known, not a corporate farmer, still family owned and run) and now and then he will scoop a gallon or so of milk from the tank when he has to test and/or check the quality of the milk.   After a few checks before it gets picked up by the trucks to go to the companies who pasteurize or do whatever they do to it for markets and if I am up there at the time, we get to drink it (not warm of course).  It is thick and rich and awesome.  By the way, the barn cats love the hell out of that stuff when he puts some down for them, funny to watch LOL.

I switched to almond milk years ago, after finding soy milk too gritty. Now, after getting used to the substitute, I can't go back to dairy milk because it tastes spoiled to me--I can taste what it's going to be like when it goes sour even when it's fresh. I never drink it anyway--I only use it for tea/coffee or cereal.

I prefer the taste of whole milk but my wife usually buys 1% for the house.....so-called health reasons.

Something along those lines for me too.  As a kid I we fell on some - let's say hard times, for a few years.  Uncle Sam took care of us with loads of government-issued nutritional sustenance, which unfortunately included bowel-impacting peanut butter, bread you could shave your beard with, and this stuff:



BTW milk is not generally served in lumps, something I didn't learn until things got a bit better financially.  Needless to say I never really developed a taste for the stuff after that ...

However, I do like me a milkshake made with a huge scoop of dairy ice-cream - preferably just vanilla though adding a fresh banana is just as good (especially hit with a shot of banana liqueur and a drizzle of maple syrup... healthy this is not). For a while I was hooked on shakes made with sherbet and liquorice ...

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.


I accidentally ate some non-dairy vegan "cheese" once... it's not something I'd do twice. Dead

Are all watery white emulsions that bear a passing visual resemblance to mammalian milk now classified as milk? If I mix a teaspoon of mayonnaise in a glass of water can I call that mayo milk? What about Ouzo and water, can I call that milk too? Try chalk dust or talc mixed with water - full of natural calcium for strong healthy bones.

So.. take a bowl of oatmeal and add water. Wait several hours then strain off the resulting oat-juice, discard the oat mush solids and then further filter the oat-juice to make oat "milk". Now take a fresh bowl of oatmeal and add your oat "milk". Consume and (presumably) enjoy... Is it not quicker, easier and less wasteful just to eat the first bowl of oatmeal and water?
