View Full Version : Milk
Touching on from the 'Price of a pint' thread, what milk do you have?
We have full for the little fella and semi for us. Friends have skimmed and it tastes like water. :bonk:
My gran still has sterilised in the long thin bottles - I politely decline a brew when she asks. :eek:

Semi skimmed for us.......and when i'm very good skimmed.:)
Semi Skilled (As my Dyslexic brother calls it!) for me, I find the full fat a bit greasy and skimmed to me is just yuk, but I will enjoy anything made for me as that's a treat, :thumbs:

Green top can't be beeten
silver top full fat for us, :thumbs: kids need it,
agree skimmed and semi tastes like water and doesn't even colour a brew proper YUK!!!!
Semi skimmed for us, the little girl only really likes milk now on her breakfast, she calls it Minky.
I only ever buy skimmed, semi and proper make me feel sick. Full fat milk makes me heave if its put into something warm like a cuppa but i like it cold on cornflakes or as a drink with choccy bisquits dipped in it. I buy long life and stuff that lasts a long time in the fridge once its opened because i dont use much.

From being 3yrs old to 17yrs old this was all I drunk, its straight out of the cow and chilled, and never had a cough, cold or anything! Soon as I changed to pasturised thats when it all changed! Skimmed milk is just like drinking white water - no taste!
Full fat for me.... i didnt think you could get green top now ... thats what i was brought up on ... till milkman retired and mum had to get a new milkman and he didnt do green top. Used to have semi skimmed when mum was alive but now on proper stuff. Mr spooks takes sterilised milk home with him ... and when i went up i took a bottle up for him. Steri is nice in coffee ..
Love Steri on cornflakes!
I like sterilised milk too. I like it on Farleys rusks!! I dont have it now obviously :rofl: but I used to when I was a kid!
They had some in Lidl the other day and I was sorely tempted to get some :spank:
Years ago the bottle that sterilised milk came in had a much narrower neck than ordinary milk and a top with a crinkly edge, probably because it had been sterilised in the bottle and not sterilised and then decanted.
I want some now i've been reminded of it. I wonder why it isnt as popular now as it used to be.

We buy two pints of semi skimmed a week, we used to buy skimmed but a nutritionist told me there is no point in have skimmed as all the goodness is taken out so you loose the calcium etc along with the fat.
Some weeks we buy extra and we always have a carton of "cardboard milk" in the cupboard , that's our name for longlife in a box....
I was told that it is only the fat that is removed from skimmed milk, the calcium etc is left in.
I hope so, coz I dont like 'real' milk. Yuck !
My Dad used to have sterilised milk at work - no fridges then. It tasted horrible neat from the bottle but super in coffee. I also remember he used to buy coffee from a firm in Burnley, I think it was called 'Sto-mike' or something like that came in green tins - wonderful anyone remember it and know if you can still get it?

Yes you're right!!! Do I take it that you can still get it, it was wonderful stuff. When I googled it in the past I may have got the name slightly wrong so nother showed up - many thanks.
Can remember when i was kid going on holiday to ireland .. my uncles used to have farms and when we went to visit them i'd be sent out with a jug to get the milk fresh from the cow ... still warm and i'd have a glass of it while he was filling the jug ... then i'd take it in to my mum and when everyone else were having a brew i'd have another glass of milk fresh from the cow and it wasnt pasteurised because it went into the churns for the milk wagon to pick up at the end of the lane ...
