I personally wish the same stringent law of domain d'origine was applied here. We can't call Australian sparkling wine made on Pinot noir grapes champagne. If it didn't come out of a cow, sheep, goat, or in the case of "red dwarf" dog teat, I don't think it should be called milk or even mylk.

Partner of a nut anaphylaxis sufferer, parent of a formerly cow milk intolerant child so I've straddled both sides of what people need in their life. The answer imnsho is clarity: call it what it is specifically. (Which most people here do. Nut milk. Oat milk. Soy milk) but please, don't call it milk, unqualified.



So, even though "milk" has been used for centuries for almond milk, rice milk, etc, it should suddenly be outlawed?

I've got some medieval cookbooks digitized on my webpages, what punishment do you propose for people like me?


I think we should milk this for all its worth.


Right. If it comes from a cow or a goat, call it cow's milk, or goat's milk, not ambiguous "milk"


Fair call.
