Full fat milk or semi skimmed.

Always full fat, unhomogenised organic for me. I get 1 litre a week, I make enough kefir for a week and have a very large delicious loose leaf tea every morning, in a lovely china mug. Any excess at the end of the week will go into a batch of scones or a loaf

Yes I agree it's all about the taste. Majority seem to prefer skimmed as not as creamy. Personally anything creamy affects my gall bladder. A fews grans have mentioned oat and soya milk. I'm considering buying coconut milk to add to home made carrot and coriander soup as I was out for lunch and tasted it for the first time and it was lovely. I've just remembered that when I was a young child my mum used to put milk in my tomato soup

Skimmed milk only I hate the taste of anything else

I'm sort of considering moving away from cows milk, but I'm scared to!
I don't like change

Go for it, you won't regret it! I've not had cows milk for years and now have mostly oat milk (which, if you're that way inclined, you can make yourself). Occasionally have soya milk but try not to due to the environmental impact. Oat milk has a natural sweetness also which isn't as harsh as some of the other non-dairy milks/drinks.

I was brought up on full fat milk, because that was really all that was available in the 50s &60s but I've been using semi skimmed since my weight conscious 20s.. I only use milk for my breakfast muesli, I drink tea without milk. I occasionally will drink a glass of fridge cold milk (which I do enjoy)

DH likes full cream milk so we always have both in the house. I couldn't drink it now as it tastes too 'thick'.

No need to worry about my vitamin intake as I've always eaten butter, cream and full fat cheese.

Curtaintwitcher having read the thread, preferences seem to be all about taste rather than health.

I get skinny milk which is a bit more fatty than skim milk. I tried full fat but it tastes horrible in tea, not too bad in coffee but I still prefer the taste of skinny. It’s like sugar I suppose. Sugar in tea and coffee makes it undrinkable for me. I once tried Vietnamese coffee. One sip and I went green.

Semi skimmed for me, but if I did have a glass of milk it would be the Gold top Channel Island one, but I can’t remember the last time I bought a bottle of that. I recently tried skimmed milk but found it too watery.

We use skimmed milk in tea but, semi skimmed for coffee and cooking. I used to get full fat when I made yogurt or a rice pudding. I buy full fat yogurt and I switched back to using butter several years ago.

My gran used to gave one gold top pint in the 60s and 1 full fat. Happy memories of staying with her.
I have semi-skimmed, but will buy skimmed if desperate. I'd change to plant-based milk if it wasn't so much more expensive.

Totally full fat. That said I drink my coffee and tea black and I have full fat natural yoghurt with my one weetabix and fruit in the morning.
My DH milked Guernseys for years and we all drank it straight out of the bulk tank. We are all as heathy as can be and none of us are fat. We try and eat as naturally as possible, some processes are unavoidable but we do our best.

Typical!! All this obsession with so-called 'healthy eating' and turns out there was nothing wrong with the old ways. Strange thing is...people are actually less healthy now than in the past.

I think pollution is the greatest threat to our health, not our diet.
To answer the question, I like the taste of sterilised milk but it's not freely available.

Always full fat. Since the beneficial vitamins A and D are in the fat/cream, and it is only 4% fat anyway, I don’t understand the advantages of semi- and skimmed milk.
When living in Jersey, the “regular” milk was good top. The children complained at the thinness of blue top when we returned to the mail and.
Having said that, I don’t consume much milk as I live on my own.

Been having skimmed milk since it first came out. My late husband loved a drink of full fat milk even in the middle of the night since a child . In his mid 20's he got a kidney stones and given treatment to break it up said it was like peeing razor blades. I switched him to skimmed milk and cut down the amount of milk he drank. I love my morning porridge made with coconut milk as I don't need and honey in it. Gives the porridge a lovely texture . I always cook it in the microwave. If I have run out of yogurt I made extra porridge and put it into a bowl and let it go cold and put fruit on top for a pud after dinner . Tastes delicious 😋.

How many pulled a face and said yuk😂.

Skimmed for everything, but it's really hard to get it lately. This week I had to go to 3 supermarkets before I found any

Full fat sterilised milk for me nothing else will do for tea but oat milk to top my daily porridge.

I always drink semi skimmed. I've done it for so long now that I can't stand the creamy taste of full fat milk in tea. I've hated the taste of milk since I was 18 months old so I only use it for tea and coffee and occasionally for cooking.

Semi-skimmed because we like the taste. The bonus is that family who buy skimmed milk, don’t mind semi-skimmed, so I don’t have to buy two lots in case they call in for a cup of tea or coffee.

I buy full fat and dilute it to make my own ‘skimmed’ milk, which gives me two for the price of one😁

Full fat milk upsets my gall bladder so I only have skimmed which suits me fine.

Skimmed milk here although I drink green tea without milk and oat milk on cereal.

I can't drink tea with semi skimmed, it has to be skimmed. Use skimmed for cooking. Mr. S. will only have semi skimmed and I put that on cereal.

I use semi-skimmed in tea but full fat for cereal, porridge and the occasional coffee. Skimmed is like water to me.

Organic semi-skimmed.

I use skimmed milk in my tea. Husband uses semi skimmed. I don't buy full fat milk as its too creamy in tea although we do take a lot of full fat greek yoghurt
