Premier milk v Avonmore milk

biko · 14-05-2007 03:45PM

Dawn milk is the only brand I drink

Well there used to be a taste diff. between avonmore and premier - I am sure of this. We were always avonmore. Nowadays I couldn't be sure to be sure

Same in Canada, you buy a little jug that the bag sits into.

Very handy for freezing too, those bags are. When I visited my grandmother over there years ago I thought she'd lost it a bit when she told me to take milk out of the freezer, but when I opened it there were about 10 bags of milk in it. Not much use if you want to use it straight away though.

I've hated milk since we were forced to drink it UN-REFRIGERATED at lunch every day in Junior school.

Exact same thing happened to me, but I'm recently back drinking it again. Avanmore ftw.

i prefer premier. also find that the 2litre plastic bottles have a different taste than the cartons, by different i mean mingin!

Corruptedmorals · 14-05-2007 06:01PM

Avonmore ftw. Plastic bottles suck, and no-one else will agree with me that milk is different in differnt counties. Avonmore is a lot nicer then Cork milk, Limerick milk is alright...but NCF milk is just disgusting.

HelterSkelter · 14-05-2007 06:08PM

That reminds me, has anyone noticed the difference in taste between the Premier milk paper cartons (1 Litre) and the plastic containers (2 Litres). The milk from the plastic containers is disguisting, it has a weird smell and taste.

Oral Slang · 14-05-2007 08:05PM

Premier Dairies is nicer than Avonmore, but I like both. Don't like either them from the plastic containers though, rotten aftertaste from them.
Aldi & Lidl milk tastes grand from the plastic containers though and at €1.19 for a 2 litre is so much better value!
Golden Vale milk is disgusting..

beanyb · 14-05-2007 08:12PM

I hate milk from plastic bottles! Whenever they're bought and I complain about the taste I'm looked at like I'm insane. But it's definitely nowhere near as nice!

Premier Dairies ftw. Oh and nothing but full fat. Slimline is grey water!

Seriously though, try the milk from Aldi or Lidl in the plastic containers. I wouldn't try it for ages cos all the rest were rotten, but my brother said that they were different. Don't know whether the plastic is different or what, but there's no bad taste at all.

The Bollox · 14-05-2007 08:28PM

all liquids taste bad out of plastic containers. cans of drinks are much nicer than plastic bottles, milk tastes better from paper cartons or glass bottles (those were the days) than plastic bottles. it's in another thread I know, but I'd love to see water in cans (no, I don't mean watering cans!!!)

flossie is right.
I used to have a summer job in a creamery and our own brand milk was more expensive that the milk we had for the supermarket contract.

Exaxt same product-just fancy packaging

It's not just about the milk, that is a massive oversimplification. It's about the branding. What type of person am I? An Avonmore person? Or a Premier person? The type of milk I buy defines who I am and how I feel about myself. It's a statement to the world.

Mmmm used to love drinking the cream from the top of the bottle... when the bastard crows hadn't pecked through the lid and drunk it already that is. :rolleyes:

slipss · 15-05-2007 06:35PM

Ahh this thread brings me back to the milk wars of the 90's, hard times, expecially when Golden Vale saw an oppertunity and started with all the espionage and product sabotage, but we won out in the end.

azezil · 15-05-2007 06:49PM

Avonmore milk is vastly superior to *, all the others taste like crap.

Malteaser! · 15-05-2007 07:18PM

Avonmore FTW, Premier Dairies tastes rank!!

Nightwish · 15-05-2007 07:28PM

Is this another Waterford v Kilkenny thread? Anyway to answer the OP, Avonmore supermilk from the carton ftw!

Stromecek · 15-05-2007 07:53PM

Lads, lads

the one true milk is Donegal Creameries, my god thats good milk,
Living in Europe I found myself craving it's creaming fulfilling flavour faced with the prospect of the Uht ****e on sale everyehere
my god it inspires homo-erotic prose aswell:eek:

ninebeanrows · 15-05-2007 08:17PM

Avonmore Milk, everything else sucks especially all milk packaged in Plastic Bottles, it tastes rank.

emeraldstar · 15-05-2007 10:06PM

Avonmore ftw

haven't really ever noticed THAT much of a difference between carton and plastic...not so much that would put you off drinking it like...

Lump · 15-05-2007 10:41PM

It's All The Same FÚcking Milk

Sir Oxman · 16-05-2007 12:59AM

Yes, your Tesco or SuperValu milk is Glanbia milk which is Avonmore and Premier so I believe. And for some mad reason, it's cheaper.

This is true. Aldi milk seems to be grand in the 2 litre plastic.
The worst is Avonmore from a one litre plastic bottle. Terrible.

Tá Mé Gaeilge · 16-05-2007 01:33AM

Ha i love this thread! I noticed this years ago and always wondered. Avanmore is always so much more expensive and people said its nicer. I dont get it.

And the plastic thing is so true. I actually cant drink from plastic bottles any more. Its disgusting. the milk tastes completely differant and everyone thinks im mad

Can anyone remember the milk that was delivered to primary schools (at least where I was in the middle o nowhere town, co.Meath, that we had to deliver on trays around the classrooms) to people who had paid for it? I think the carton had a cyclist on it.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar · 16-05-2007 01:45AM

i remember that... vaguely

the strawberry milk was my favourite
