Eh. Oat milk is really popular for some reason. It could very likely be the only other milk they know. If someone was drinking rice or soy milk though then yeah I don't know how they wouldn't be familiar.
I tried soy milk before I tried oat milk because soy was the only cruelty free milk I knew about. But I eventually tried all the varieties and determined that oat milk tastes the best.
Stfu and pick one. You sitting there having a casual conversation on your couch. Meanwhile the driver just standing there in the milk aisle staring at their phone for 5 minutes while you want to know all the options and hem and haw.
Yeah. But, I always try to be polite and treat delivery workers politely as possible. People are so rude that even "good morning. How are you doing?" Is stuff that none ask them.
Life pro tip: If you are vegan and lactose intolerant get oat milk. Out of all the alternatives that one tastes the closest to the real thing by a country mile.
I tried oat milk. While it tastes good, IMO it tastes nothing like milk. The closest description I could give for the taste being "cereal juice"
It's an interesting cooking ingredient though. Certainly has its own unique flavor. It's also a nice refresher drink.
My biggest gripe with oat milk is that it isn't as "filling" as the alternatives. It's a drink, not a food. So when I try to 1:1 use it as a substitute it can leave me feeling sick (example, my morning coffee which I load with milk to get me started)
TLDR: be mindful of the fact that it's VERY different from milk, even if oat milk tastes good.
I'd recommend not substituting 1:1. If you go easy on the oat milk to coffee ratio, you'll have a better experience. IMHO, oat doesn't alter the taste experience of coffee as much as the other stuff, which is my foremost reason for preferring it.
The way I'd describe it is that, compared to other milk alternatives, it is the has the most body.
ie, think of it being closer to full-fat milk than to non-fat milk. You'll notice that the taste lingers in your mouth a bit longer. (body can refer to it lingering for various reasons, but in this case, I think it's fat content, like in milk?)
Another one with a body you might like is rice milk.
I just thought up a great business model and it's five times as exploitive as doordash plus we could roll it out for Christmas. By the time the novelty has worn off we should all (and by we, I mean everyone who isn't working for or using the app) be rich. Who wants to help me build doordance?
People who are still afraid of dietary fat from the anti-fat craze of the 80s and 90s.
If you’re watching weight, cutting calories from milk of all places is the worst place to do it. At least from whole down to skim. All the healthy stuff actually just so happens to be in the tasty part, the cream, since milk does these thing of mixing the ”sugar” into the cream in the form of Lactose. Cutting that out just leaves you with a worst-tasting, less nutritious beverage aside from the fewer calories.
If you want fewer calories but still have nutrition, soy is the way to go.
I haven't drank milk in decades but before I quit I was drinking skim because the milk with fat made me nauseous and it tasted better. Eventually even skim milk made me nauseous. Fortunately I have always liked my coffee black. Although I cut out caffeine a few years ago so now it's black decaf on a rare occasion. Yeah I'm fun at parties too.
To be fair, that sounds like an intolerance to milk/lactose, which is a pretty good excuse for cutting milk out your life.
Probably not worth pointing at now, but have you considered trying milk substitutes. Oat milk is pretty good - I keep some at home cause I like both it and regular milk.
If you're on a low-fat diet ordered by a doctor for some sort of health reason, or maybe if you simply prefer the taste of skim? I can't imagine anyone preferring it, but people do enjoy some strange things so maybe.
Soy milk is the only non-dairy milk I've tried that comes close. It's not 1:1 but it's good enough to be used with cereal and not be super weird at least. And the vanilla flavored one isn't bad as just a drink.
This is interesting to me. I attracted a number of downvotes too when I said I like soy milk. Maybe this is one of those things like pineapple on pizza that's very polarizing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If they're getting oat milk they probably don't want any of those, except maybe almond. There's soy milk which tastes like shit, hell, there's even hemp milk
Personally I order oat milk but I only do so because I prefer it and I think it's better for the environment; I will gladly take regular milk if it's not available.
There's also literally every other mammal with the possible exception of platypi. Nobody knows what the fuck is up with those freaks and anyone who claims otherwise is a liar, high or a high liar.
They have milk. They just sweat it instead. I learned about it in a documentary about what two kids are doing during their 104 days of summer vacation.
Cow titty juice. You can call anything anything. If enough people say it then it's correct. It's like how the word 'literally' gained an extra definition of 'not literally'. Unless you are speaking France French, then the government decides or something.
