Guy in McDonalds asked ne if I was lactose intolerant because I didnt want milk! Am I alone on this?

Putting milk in tea destroys the taste for me. Can't understand why people do it.

Links234

Well I generally drink herbal teas so no, never. Honey in my rooibos though

thelad95

I don't drink tea.

CJ Haughey

Brown sauce for me.

That was a bit nosy!

I take the tiniest splash of milk, just to change the colour of it. Strong, beautiful and black. The way I like my women too.

berger89

maybe he was just being an attentive employee?

i take a teeny sup of milk in my tea, no sugar. only reason i have milk is so i don't burn the tongue of myself. but black tea is grand if I'm not in a rush

He was a cheeky little so and so.

Yep. Tried to short change me and then said he "liked them fiesty" felt bad for the guy he was with, both about 17, he was talking over him to apologize and getting embarrassed.

Other little arrogant s**t deserves the sack.

Next time, you ask for a cup of boiling hot water, just that. Go over and grab a handful of sugar sachets, open them and empty them into the water. About 20 should do.

Next, go back to the mctosser who has annoyed you, and fire the mixture in his face.

Wham, nobody's ever gonna ask you if you're lactose intolerant again. You'll probably find you've a lot of time and space to yourself actually..

Always have milk in the tea. Still pick up 400 teabags when I'm home with the parents. Barrys always. Lyons is a shít teabag made in England, beloved of FF voters and Dubs.

The Barry's might be amongst the Cork trade merchants. They are there because the tea is a fine brew. The acceptable face of Cork.

Milk in tea is a same-sex marriage issue. Nobody else's business, but a bit suspect and ripe for ridicule by low-brows. I don't take milk in my tea. Not that I drink tea anyway, tea is for cissies. Coffee is where it's at.

dpofloinn

I live my my life by one simple rule, don't trust any one who doesn't drink tea and to a lesser extent people who don't take milk in their tea are to be treated with suspicion

Gran Hermano

Depending on tea type, I might add
Milk
Lemon
Honey
Sugar
Nothing

I like good milky tea, as a matter of fact i dont use any tea at all!

NachoBusiness

I like to have a little cream with my tea. Hate the taste of milk. Same with coffee, I just like some cream and sugar.

Was in Starbucks recently and asked them for some cream in my coffee and they were perplexed at the request and said the closets they had to cream was a squirt of chocolate whipped cream from a can. I accepted it and it was muck. Biggest coffee shop chain in the world and they don't even have some fresh bloody cream on offer.

So yeah, cream for me please and thank you.

Joe Doe

It's just a fleeting glance of the organic milk container for my white-tea-brew. Prefer the leaves to be hand picked only by the fairest of virgin maidens somewhere in the Himalayas whist prayers of thanksgiving are said to their local tea deities.

Then just lash it all into a spare starmucks container, held aloft like a newly won 400m track n' field trophy (usually post-lunchtime),
so that I can prance around the cube-farm asking the lowly desk jockeys about the status of their tps reports.

Ah, but do you take milk in your coffee?

I've stopped taking milk in my tea as the last place I worked only had that UHT crap and there'd be days when I'd forget to bring in my own milk. Now, over here, there's just something dodgy with the milk, it just doesn't taste right, I think it's the lack of Irish grass.

This is a very milky cup of tea, Mrs Doyle...

Penny Tration

I don't take milk in tea or coffee. Sometimes, my boyfriend makes me tea in the mornings and puts soy milk in it (I'm allergic to cow's milk) and I have to drink it out of politeness, because he's trying to be nice. But i fcuking hate milk in tea, soy or otherwise!

I like a drop of milk but I don't see anything odd about no milk. People who like milky tea are the real weirdos.

TheBeardedLady

Milk no sugar and that goes for coffee and tea. I don't think tea from teabags is very good quality, so you have to mask the flavour a bit. I wouldn't put milk in other kinds though.

I hate to break it to you but he's actually trying to kill you.

ShadowHearth

Small bit off sugar and fresh lemon in my tea. Very rarely I drink tea with milk.

No milk here. I don't need it if I make the tea right - if I can taste the tannin, it's too strong. Picard doesn't take milk in his Earl Grey:

Agreed 100%, but...I'm a Dub & wouldn't drink any other tea except Barry's Gold blend (& loose leaf tea) :eek:

I don't, black with a bit of honey

No.

I stopped drinking tea with milk when I found out that it destroyed the anti-oxidant properties inherent in the drink.

Nowadays, it's simply a taste thing. I just don't enjoy it with milk added.

RayM

No sugar and just a threat of milk. Lyons, not Barry's.

The Strawman Argument

I used to drink it without milk, but then I bough some Tetleys and they coloured my teeth close to black after a few cups. My mam said putting milk in tea stops it from doing that so I've been adding milk ever since out of a fear of that happening again ...no clue if it actually makes a difference but it makes me feel better so meh.

No sugar, when I was little my diabetic dad used to give us two TABLESPOONS of sugar per cup, probably didn't know what tea tasted like until I gave up sugar.

Ruu

Just a drop and a teaspoon of sugar (which I sometimes do without).Priest in our primary school used to take 6 sugars. First time I saw him keep going for the bowl wondering when he was going to stop!

rainbow kirby

Black tea with a bit of brown sugar. Yum yum

conorh91

Milky (and sugary) tea is something of an English/Irish phenomenon. I find that my stomach can't hack black tea with no milk, it gets very irritated without milk. No sugar though.

I dated a woman who put milk and sugar in her green tea. It was the beginning of the end for us.

r93kaey5p2izun

I drink black tea, no sugar. Used to be seen as weird for some reason but I think it's more acceptable now. Just hate milk!

Shenshen

Milk makes me sick, so no, no milk in my tea.

1 teaspoon of sugar in normal black, or 1 teaspoon of honey in Earl Grey.

qo2cj1dsne8y4k

Rarely drink tea or coffee but when I do, they've got to be black/no sugar.

AlanS181824

I always put milk in my tea.

billyhead

Always have tea without milk. No ones business really to question it.

chopperbyrne

At no point did Picard ask for milk.
Tea, Earl Grey, hot.

Probably to prevent third degree burns to their throat.

With a tiny splash of milk on them.

This by a zillion. Milky tea is so rank.
I take a small drop of milk in my tea just to take the edge off it, as it's quite harsh-tasting. Preferably low-fat milk too as I don't like the milk in my tea to be creamy.

A good drop of milk is more suited to coffee IMO.

Sunnyisland

If when out and for some strange reason the bar/hotel or whatever don't have herbal teas I will just have an ordinary cup of black tea without milk or sugar.

Dunford

Very difficult to get non uht milk here, so I do without it....its lovely black.
