re: Could you tell the difference in milk growing up?

The next time you are in Ireland or Scotland, try the milk.
It's amazing what all of that rich, green grass and a local emphasis on freshness and quality animal husbandry does to the flavor of milk and dairy products.

“Allegedly” WM does this to frick with smaller grocers. They will sell milk (and other staples) below cost to get people shopping there and make other grocers look more expensive (with the implication that if milk is more expensive everything is more expensive). This is illegal particularly with dairy and they have been brought to task over it numerous times.

Skim Milk and low fat milks are just water pretending to be milk.
Whole milk, any brand, is the only answer.

When I moved to Denver circa 2001, for the first and only time in my life we had an actual milk man who delivered a glass jug or 2 weekly to the doorstep. To this day, it was the best milk I’ve ever had - like drinking heavy whipping cream but better.
No idea why my parents stopped paying for it (probably expensive), but I’ve only had grocery store milk of all varieties and nothing comes close. If I have my choice, I go for Braum’s these days, but it’s really just whatever is cheapest at the Walmarks for my kid.

One of my grandmothers bought raw from a dairy and processed it herself. Even churned butter.
The other Grandmother had a ranch, never had to buy milk at her place.
My parents had a milkman deliver when I was small.

When I was growing up in CenLa the milk man brought us milk from Walker-Romer Dairy. I could definitely taste the difference among brands at that time.
Nowadays I don’t drink too much milk. Since they take most of the “good stuff” out of milk, I can’t really taste any difference in brands.

I was sold this huge crock o’shite, too. Probably 5 or 6 during a hurricane induced power loss, my mom made me cereal with powdered milk. Spit that shite right out, and yes, I got spanked for spitting out “good food” but I’ll be damned if I ever let that crap pass my lips again.

My grandmother was a powdered milk consumer. I hated spending the night there. She would make a pitcher of “milk” for us to drink.
This was late 60’s early 70’s
And he wasn't buying that high dollar carnation name brand powdered milk either.
No no. We got Hytop which was even more gross.
Still remember occasionally my mom would pour us a glass of milk with dinner and fresh from playing outside I would down it before my dad even sat down and he would scream at me that I needed to drink water to quench my thirst and he better not see my drinking milk like that again
Well once he started buying powdered milk he got his wish.

Which one had the cow name Daisy on it.. that’s what I grew up on… another that stated with F in a orange and white carton too

How, exactly, does milk "grow up"?
Posted on 4/13/25 at 11:26 am to CAD703X
My grandfather had milk cows on his small farm and I stayed with him often when I was young back in the 1950s.
He'd milk the cows very early and sit a pail of milk in the house and take a big metal container, I guess about 15 or so gallons, out front to the gravel road and the milk truck picked it up.
It was one way he made a little money.
That milk in that pail, two hours or so out of the cows teat, was SO good back then. Don't think I'd want milk like that in today's world though.
What ever wasn't drank with breakfast had the cream skimmed off and it was churned into butter by grandma sitting in the kitchen later. Tons of memories from them but, that's probably for another thread.

Louisiana needs legalize the sale of unpasteurized milk.
I don't remember a difference in milk from when I was younger but I do in bananas.

Growing up, sometimes when we would run out of milk the day before grocery day.
My Grabdmother would make us cereal with the pet brand Can milk with water added. Tasted awful.
Kinda how fat free or skim milk tastes

I have been drinking raw milk lately. It's hard to brink store bought milk now.

I live near a small dairy farm that bottles their milk onsite and sells it at a few grocery stores that has really good milk like that. It's more expensive (a little over $4 for half a gallon), but tastes so much better and is well worth it.

I love milk but can't drink it anymore. I'm allergic to and it makes my blood sugar go up. I can taste the difference between brands.
I wish there was somewhere local to get unpasteurized milk. When I was a kid there was a local man we got milk from. He'd bring it in ice cream gallon pails. I think he had a thing for my grandmother, my dad would always pick on her about it.
