My mate works on an organic dairy farm, only supplies to the local area, when you find their milk it’s noticeably nicer than supermarket. Cows are very well looked after too

Whole for me too, got fed up drinking flavourless stuff and I'm kinda past caring about fat intake (I don't eat badly, just don't stress over "low fat" crap).Swervin_Mervin wrote: Mon Apr 20, 2026 1:57 pm Whole milk here - give me all the nutrients please as opposed to coloured water. I especially like it when you get some chunky lumps of cream plopping into one's cereal or brew. Or glass of milk.

I thought fat is good 
How about not having a sig at all?

Take out the fat and you just swap it for higher sugar, which is arguably worse.

Increasingly important for me. I love it when we go to Galloway and can lay our hands on the stuff where the herd has been well cared for.
Brutally honestly, I’m not sure it tastes better, but that isn’t what it’s about.

Coffee should be black, they should call coffee with milk 'coffee flavoured drink' or something. 
I have a bit of almond with my cereal (blue diamond, we ran out and couldn't get hold of more for a week or so and I realised how disgusting some of the other ones are). No milk on anything else.
The daughter has semi-skimmed on her cereal though as is her preference.

in a last minute twist, i’ve decided to ditch cows milk altogether and i’ve started having soya milk on my cereal. To be honest, i’m surprised at how similar it tastes to cows milk, so i’m sticking with it. i need to try the various options of it now to see which one prefers.

Damn homogenisation ruining our creamy tops!!John wrote: Mon Apr 20, 2026 12:19 pm Full fat here although it’s more like skimmed now. When i were a lad full fat milk had cream in the top section of the (glass) bottle
The fat molecules are more evenly distributed I believe.

Whole milk, full fat everything, fat for the brain, fat for flavour, bring on the fat.Swervin_Mervin wrote: Tue Apr 21, 2026 9:50 amLook at it this way "full fat" (stupid term) is 96% fat free!Barry wrote: Mon Apr 20, 2026 6:15 pmWhole for me too, got fed up drinking flavourless stuff and I'm kinda past caring about fat intake (I don't eat badly, just don't stress over "low fat" crap).Swervin_Mervin wrote: Mon Apr 20, 2026 1:57 pm Whole milk here - give me all the nutrients please as opposed to coloured water.

We used to get a delivery but in the summer they didn't understand that delivering at 01:00 and having warm milk by morning was a bad thing. We get ours in satisfying glass bottles from the farm shop now.
