Why potato milk, a newcomer to plant-based dairy, may be the most sustainable option

Gross. I’ll wait for cricket milk.
Can create potato water…
Sell the water after I boil my potatoes.
Would that work too as a new fad?
Jojo, the only time potato water is good is just before starvation sets in. When there is little food one does not peel potatoes or any veg. All water from cooking them has to be saved as that is where the nutrition is. Soup with anything available is sustenance. We are one pampered society. Having grandparents who saved everything was a terrific education. They had a cow for milk and did not have a farm. There has to be people still alive who remember the things I do. Our society is spiraling downward.
I save all my chicken bones, and break them to boil all the marrowy goodness outta them, and use it in soups, rice and chilies.
Then again, I’m dirt poor for a Canadian.
You’re better off fermenting it with wine yeast. Make sure there’s a lot of room in the primary fermenter, that stuff has better head than Guinness in the earliest stage.
Not interested. Ever. I LOVE me some COW dairy! My people (the French) love our butter and heavy cream. Because it’s 2021 … I limit myself to half and half … 🙂
CBC? Again? Please warn us first.
I’m sure all that starchy content will have no unintended consequences, hope none at all. Move along now, nothing to see here……..
Soy milk, high estrogen content, making effeminate boys.
Almond milk, high oxalate content, hello kidney stones.
Excuse me, what’s wrong with dairy again? The war on meat continues,…….by those who are SO much smarter than us…../sarc
Soy also contains high levels of manganese. Manganese is a neurotoxin. It causes a disease called “manganism” whose symptoms resemble Parkinson’s disease. Babies given soy based formula were seen to have developed symptoms of manganism. Manganese easily crosses the blood/brain barrier to induce neurodegenerative illness. Soy food products are not good for humans unless taken in moderation.
As you’re contemplating pouring a glass of spud milk remember that the greens HATE cows. I believe its because they fart, poop and provide steaks for humans to eat !!!
It’s gotta be easier than milking almonds.
And oats, just finding the oat udder has got to be a trick.
Exactly right. The hardest part of the day.
Why not potato milk? After all, there are cow chips, right?
Right.
And neither of them should be consumed by anybody in their right mind.
To the lads on Davie Street: “Sorry Gents, potato milk is not what you think it is.”
OK, that is funny.
Old code speak for vodka.
At least in my book.
Ah, my kind of potato milk…..
In order for vodka to be milk, you would have to Irish Cream it somehow.
Russian Cream!
Sit by the fireplace in the glow of Christmas lights relaxing with Russian Cream!
I prefer to make vodka into blood.
That being said, do NOT buy Absolut Pepper.
Mmmmm Russian Cream ….
Baby formula was better than natural mother’s milk in the 40s and 50s until it wasn’t.
It’s what happens when we think we know better.
Nobody wants more SoyBoys growing out of potato milk.
Cold watery potato soup.
Wasn’t that what they served in post revolution Soviet Russia in the prison camps?
No Joseph, that was water with a potato passed through it.
I thought it was waved over top of it. Didn’t want to waste any of the goodness.
How about a new “Got Milk” campaign featuring Mr. Potato Head? With a white moustache, of course.
Did you say … Mr. … Potato head?! OMG!!! It’s “Potato Head” … genderless. The spud has no eyes growing out where a pennis might be …
Don’t be making your ‘O-Kate face’ over a Mister Potato Head!
Just to clear up what “dairy” means:
a building, room, or establishment for the storage, processing, and distribution of milk and milk products.
That doesn’t include potato juice.
Why do people pretend that we are running out of food?
We are not.
More food is wasted on farms (perhaps not the better farms) than wasted individually.
We have access to more food and different kinds of food than before.
First-Worlders are also more wasteful and choosy in their eating habits.
Did you know that North Korea can grow enough rice to feed its population? I wonder why it will not …
Osumashi, Perhaps because a well fed, or, at least a nourished population, will find time to consider larger things, such as the difficulty in living under such a harsh regime. Keeping them hungry, allows them only the ability to survive day to day, thus not contemplating how to do away with said regime. They seem to have little problem building and upgrading their military, and keeping dear leader happy and well fed.
Part of the problem here is that we are well fed, some are also armed, but also most are complacent. Getting rid of legally owned firearms before vastly reducing the population by starvation, lack of energy, etc, only makes sense, because it’s much more difficult to control an armed population when you piss em off.
The usual high quality of your posts, makes me wonder, was your question was rhetorical?
“Why do people pretend that we are running out of food?”
If we ever have a famine we can quit using food to add to our gasoline.
Russia/Ukraine never ran out of food during the holodomor, either.
I must admit that I don’t want spots on my apples … or any other of my produce. And if it’s not crispy fresh? Not interested. Yep. I am a pampered First Worlder. So sue me.
As the saying goes: “There is no better tasting sauce than appetite. There is no softer mattress than exhaustion.”
Eternal verities.
It’s apple harvest time in my part of the frozen sh*thole of Hoth.
Half are wormy or the b*stard birds have taken one, just one mind you, peck out of it. So, discarded.
The other half have spots or are misshapen. Maybe 1 in 10 is a perfect “store quality” apple.
You know what though ? They all taste about 70 times better than anything you can buy in a store.
We peel them (I hate apple peel) and cut out any spots from the flesh. Fan friggin’ tastic.
We have Red Delicious and Granny Smiths.
Use the discarded ones to make cider and Apple Jack.
I have done cider before. Not enough fruit this year to justify all the work it entails though.
I’ve never gone down the home distilling route, despite preferring spirits to other forms of alcohol. I’m just not “chemistry minded” enough to enjoy the process.
I’ve never tried apple jack. Is it any good ? I’ve had Calvados though… decent stuff.
Plant-based dairy! Time for me to come up with water-based building materials! They’re green and eco-freindly!
Extra-fine print: Must be used according to manufactures specifications, manufacturer takes no responsibility for improper use. Must be used at temperatures below 250 degrees SI.
Cow milk is “plant-based dairy”.
You put grass in one end of a bovine processing plant and dairy products come out the other. (Along with waste products that make fantastic organic fertilizer.)
So who gets to milk our glorious leader?
CPC voters, who else?
Rosie Barton….. years of practice.
The Chicoms have been milking his vile idiocy for years.
If it doesn’t come out of an udder, it’s not milk. Also, where does this belief that we’re running out of food come from? We’re fat because food is cheap and plentiful thanks to modern farming methods. The best use of a potato is to make vodka anyways.
In my book of bread recipes, there’s one which has potatoes as an ingredient.
So I’m fine with plant-based *alternatives* to dairy. And I’m fine with them calling these things ‘milk’.
I am not fine with calling them ‘plant-based dairy’. That’s a bridge too far.
Whenever a woman tries to get all ‘Green’/philosophical and says (as if it has some deep meaning)
“Humans are the only animals that drink other animals’ milk…”, I respond with:
“Jealous? Fckin cows. Stealing jobs from women. We can probably get you one of those milking machines”
Usually gets a laugh. Politely lets them know you’re not in their cult
“Humans are the only animals that drink other animals’ milk…”
To which every carnivorous animal I’ve ever seen will strenuously disagree. Easy fat and sugar in that quantity is tough to find in the wild.
The only reason I can figure why eco-tards would prefer potato milk is because potatoes don’t fart.
You mean Dear Leader doesn’t break wind?
taters??!! Classic. There are few crops that we put more chemical on than potatoes.
Herbicides, pesticides, fungicides…perfect.
Nothing like a tall glass of iced tater milk with my fries.
But damn, it really hurts when a potato kicks you in the nads.
Gross. I’ll wait for cricket milk.
