colly0410 1,181 Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 I couldn't care less what sort of milk I use in my tea, it can be full cream, semi skimmed, skimmed; fresh, UHT, condensed, evaporated or powder'd. My wife likes fresh in coffee but doesn't mind UHT on her corn flakes, I usually use UHT as it has a long life, my mate Gordon thinks I should be shot for using anything else but fresh full cream. What do others prefer? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philmayfield 6,089 Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 Two drops in tea, coffee black. Very little milk used at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 Skinny red top, or at a push, semi, green top. Anything in little plastic tubs is a no no, such as UHT, long life etc. However, sometimes when in a restaurant, I'll finish a meal with a coffee and cream. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jonab 1,644 Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 The milk available here is nearly all that dreadful UHT stuff - which the natives seem to really appreciate. Fresh milk is available if you know where to look but it is mostly looked down upon as something inferior (and perhaps toxic?). I never take milk as it's so revolting (it has a "plastic" like flavour - which may be from the bottle it's in). I drink black tea and I take coffee black also but very occasionally, in a restaurant, say, will have a soupçon of cream (which they don't mess about with so much). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MargieH 7,594 Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 We usually have skimmed milk in a glass bottle from the milkman, but we occasionally have semi skimmed in a plastic bottle from the Supermarket. I do prefer the latter on cereal but like skimmed in tea and coffee. We have UHT skimmed milk in a carton for if we we run out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,267 Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 Always have my coffee black and I don't drink tea. Red top, green top...you won't find those in my fridge. Blue top and Jersey cows milk. Yes, I know it's frowned on and some supermarkets won't stock it but I don't care. I like it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,594 Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 Jill, so what do you use your creamy milk for? Are cats supposed to drink cow's milk? I sometimes mix a little milk with cooked cheap white fish for our two cats..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,267 Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 I drink it, Margie, ice cold. Sometimes I make hot chocolate with it in winter. My cats don't like milk but they are very fond of yogurt which they are allowed to have. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brew 5,377 Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 Someone tried to tell me cows milk is bad for cats, hedgehogs and humans. I drink it, the kids drank it. the cats drink it, and we had Mr Prickles visit us regularly for almost two years - all without the least sign of ill effects. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
letsavagoo 956 Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 I don’t drink a lot of coffee but do take it with milk. I drink tea a lot. Not had milk in it for years. I can’t stand it with milk. Occasionally Jane will take the teabag from her milky tea to make me one and I can’t drink it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
colly0410 1,181 Posted September 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 Forgot about sterilised milk people used to have when I was a kid in the 1960's, I'm presuming UHT has taken over from it as I haven't seen any for decades. Mam hated it but Dad & myself didn't mind it. IIRC it didn't go sour so quick as fresh without refrigeration. Remember the floating white cream on fresh milk before we had a fridge...
