'Non-taste'? Tastes like *cow's* milk to me - different from goat's

milk, say, and certainly different from soy or coconut milk. Actually I

have an unopened carton of rice milk in the fridge (never tried rice

milk before) - and I have skim milk and I have soy milk - how about if

I do a taste test for you when I've finished my emails and report

back??? Not as much fun as a wine bar, but probably almost as healthy ;=)

 

Best,

Thank goodness tastes differ.

You're right! ;=) Otherwise, we'd all be eating exactly the same thing

and we'd have nothing to talk about at all *LOL*

 

What I meant was that 'no' taste is dependent on what you're used to.

I'm told that as a little kid I drank goat's milk all one long summer on

holiday (I remember the goat - she was sweetly pretty with a lovely

disposition and her name was, of course, Nanny) - but when I returned to

town and only cow's milk was available (and bloody little of that in

wartime England!) I complained that cow's milk had too strong a taste

(this part I do not remember). Go figure. I am used to soy now - but for

cooking or with food, since I don't 'drink' milk out of a glass - so

cow's milk tastes 'strong' and well kinda animal-y. I confess I haven't

done the taste test with skim, soy, and rice I said I would do yesterday

- believe it or not my dh saw me lining things up in the kitchen and

said, in effect, Hey hon let's go out for a while and he took me to the,

you guessed it, wine bar. *Much* more fun - haven't done that in ages! I

think he's psychic *LOL*

 

*But* I have to say that soymilk doesn't quite taste 'right' (to me) for

savoury white sauces unless I load with cheese substitute or other

masking flavour. This is a problem, since, as I've said above, I am an

ovo-lacto veggie who no longer likes the taste of cow's milk. Siggghhhh.

I'll see what I can do with rice milk ;=) And *no* - before some smartie

suggests it *LOL* - I do *not* think goat's milk would be better - in

cheese or yoghurt, okay, but I can't imagine it in 'milk' sauces now ;=)

 

Best,

Pat

Hah sounds like you had a good time. Just get him to pull up some winning

lotto numbers next time!

 

Of course the skim milk that I drink does have SOME flavor but in comparison

to whole milk and plain (hock-tooo-ieee) soy milk, there aint much flavor.

I think I'll try the rice milk next time....rice is pretty plain but I

wonder if they add anything to it....definitely make sure they don't add

that caleelgern *sp thickener stuff to it.

 

Anywho, thank you SO MUCH for everyone who gave their expert and

knowledgable advice and information. You all are great!

 

Cheers,

Shawn (hoping my next post won't have the word " UGH " next to Rice Milk, lol)

Agreed ;=) It's a matter of degree, isn't it?

 

Just checked (wouldn't you know that I didn't check before!): my soy

milk has that carrageenan thickener in it, but not the rice milk -

which, btw, by taste test I prefer. My husband agrees. The soy milk also

has a whole bunch of vitamins and minerals added, the rice milk not.

Both are organic.

 

Because of the lack of the thickener, if you prefer skim cow's milk, I'd

go for the rice milk - but perhaps brands differ? Mine is Rice Dream,

the soy is President's Choice.

 

Since I use it for cooking and don't need them to add all those vitamins

and minerals (we get all that stuff in the rest of what we eat), and

since I don't like the thickener, I'll go for the rice milk. It *looks*

more like cow's milk anyway, so will give a nice pale colour to a sauce

if it's the kind of thing that would look silly dressed in beige ;=) and

is not tinted by other ingredients.

 

Thanks for all the info on this, everybody ;=)

 

Best,

Pat
