Someone who ordered oat milk to begin with shouldnt have any troubles navigating the world of milk.
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.
Soy milk is great, but it’s not a good milk substitute.
It should taste beany, and that’s not really what I want with my cereal. A Chinese cruller, on the other hand…
“that’s a lot of choices”
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.
If the Dasher is standing in line at Starbucks waiting for an answer that makes it 10x worse lol
Having someone else stand in line for your fast food is so incredibly absurd I still can’t get my head around it
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.
Oat milk is also the best for the environment by an unironic country mile.
Just think about the difference in producing Soy and Producing Oats.
Oats are cheaper, more widespread globally (farmed in most climates) around the world and require less water. Obviously it would be the better option.
That’s not to say that Soy milk isn’t good. It’s just not as good
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.
I love oat milk in my coffee. It’s got a good texture if that makes sense
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.
fwiw taking a food tasting or wine tasting or coffee tasting class is fun; can pick up taste descriptor words: https://winefolly.com/tips/what-is-wine-body-and-how-to-taste-it/
Soy milk has actual soybeans in it though and therefore better nutritional value in most cases.
I think almond is closest - but that’s shit for the environment, so oat it is
I don’t get how they’re so good at milking those little oat teats.
Imagine your job being to shop for richer people and have to write them because of something like that. What a time to be alive.
It’s the same problem as all the other ride share companies. They don’t pay their drivers enough and they massively over charge customers. Drivers get no benefits and have to use their own cars while DoorDash makes a fortune. It’s disgusting greed and it doesn’t help restaurants either
DoorDash were listing restaurants without their permission on the app. So a bunch of restaurants would either get orders they couldn’t fulfill, or DoorDash would just tell customers not to order there because they were unavailable, despite not being given permission to list them in the first place.
DoorDash is a brutally scummy company. Genuinely one of the worst service economy companies going around.
