      My homie, if you have never had the glory that is milk with a cheeseburger, you’re missing out.

      Spaghetti? Bomb.

      Burritos? Bomb

      I can keep going, and even explain how and why various foods can be paired with milk and not only be as good as any other beverage, but can sometimes be better. It isn’t every food, but it works often enough to be worth trying.

        In a similar train of thought, have you tried having (good) orange juice with Mexican food? I used to love having it once in a while when we brought home Rosa’s. Never did at a restaurant. Not a complete heathen. 😁

        I’m with them, it’s one of the things I just used to drink at home, especially to get the choc to milk ratio right

      Restaurants menus lacking milk as a drinking option is definitely a positive for me - I do not wish to dine alongside whatever freak chooses to drink milk with their meal.

          Cow boob juice is for baby cows. Human boob juice is for baby humans. Adults of any species should have developed past ingesting boob juice in childhood.

              Yes, and milk was the singular reason they were able to. Turns out those Got Milk commercials had it right all along

                I like this interpretation of history. I guess that means the Wright brothers were drinking Red Bull?

                More seriously, they drank milk because they were pastoralists with a lot of it, and because it’s something you can consume. Hell, they were even lactose intolerant; if you happen to be European or West African all the better. Not sure where this “it’s for kids” idea comes from, maybe it’s some kind of American cultural thing. (If you want to be really bio-deterministic, it’s for babies, older children are in the same group as adults)

            I don’t think I’d really like giving up my present diet for the one that my hunter-gatherer ancestors were required by circumstance to eat.

            We get it you’re vegan.

            Also most people are actually lactose-intolerant, the capability to retain production of lactase into adulthood is a mutation won through a lot of hardship and diarrhoea.

            Side note Italy being blue explains why they have strange rules such as “no cappuccino after noon”, it’s not that it’s bad or anything it’s that many Italians can only stomach one, maybe two a day.

        Because I’ve literally only known a single adult to opt into drinking milk and it was my 90 year old grandfather. Always thought it was super strange to like milk so much.

          I once had to live with a guy that would go through 2-4 gallons in a week on his own and just let the empty jugs build up in (around) the recycle bin for weeks on end. Grew up on a dairy farm. Honestly I shouldn’t have to say more to tell you he was a freak.

            Haha wow, yeah that’s pretty weird. I can’t stand the taste of milk, but I feel like even if I could, like anything else, it would get sort of sickening in such large quantities

        I’m just saying if I see anyone not eating from the kids menu drinking milk with a meal I’m going to judge you. I’m judging all of Finland.

        And yet you made this post which does the same thing re: alcohol consumption

        Wine pairings with meals are a thing for a reason. Milk pairings, not so much

      why would you not? milk taste good mmmm

      especially if i’m at a less fancy restaurant and i’m ordering a dish with mashed potatoes and gravy, milk is 100% the appropriate beverage.

      Why judge people over their choice of beverage?

      Why can’t we all drink (or eat or be…) whatever we please without derogatory comments being made? What kind of a low is that?

      Seriously.

        I’m gonna recognize that what I said came across way way more harsh than was intended, this was meant to be playful, as are my responses below - I seem to be learning that my tone and how I speak do not always translate well to being written - for this, I apologize. I do need to work on monitoring my snark levels.

        I’d like to state - that you are more than welcome to drink or do what you want. I was attempting to razz op - not berate op… even though milk is straight up disgusting and I gag when people drink it by itself and I cannot understand why anyone would make that choice - it is their choice.

        This is a me problem - not a them problem.

        Have fun enjoying your gross animal juice everyone. I’ll just sit over here with my water.

        • Criticizing alcohol consumption = you sleep

        • Criticizing milk consumption = real shit

        Also, let people dislike things. If Criticism diminishes your own enjoyment of a thing then you don’t actually like that thing
