Milk

[Pferdestarke]

Is it me or is milk tasting sweeter these days?

If I but a carton of fresh semi-skimmed milk from say, Sainsbury's, it often tastes overly sweet.

Are they putting something in it?

[DocJock]

It's because there's a higher proportion of grass and less feed in their diet during the summer.

supermarket milk is rubbish anyway even full fat milk is watered down. best getting milk off your milkman. top stuff.

Apart from the fact that you've misquoted the phrase, I still don't believe your assertion.

full skimmed is the way to go

[Marf]

Yeah full skimmed is fine if you like drinking white water.

+1, can't stand the stuff, may as well well go without if you're gonna have that

full fat all the way

dont knock it till you try it

[Marf]

I have, it's like white water. It has no flavour when compared to full fat.

I've tried it and it's pointless.

Gold top is the way forward, if that's unavailable full fat will do.

Semi-skimmed Cravendale will do just fine thanks.

[Mr Dave]

Finding foodstuffs tasting sweater can be a sign of prostate problems. Are you experiencing any other symptoms?

Not being funny but you should get it checked out by your GP.

Not adverse to a pint of Green every now and again either.

I read in the paper last week that you can now buy unpasteurised milk by mail order (next day delivery). you can only buy it direct from the farmer by law.

cravendale filtered semi skimmed serves me well enough.

I am with you. 4% fat is nothing compared to other food stuffs, and the skimmed stuff tastes just wrong.

Unpasteurised isn't all it's cracked up to be, even fresh from the cow it's not much different.
non-homogenised is where it's at.
