Long life milk

What is the story with it? Why do people buy it? Its horrible in your cereal and pretty much everything and dont even think about putting it in your tea because it tastes like shi_te!!

This is the one you can get in Lidl (also known as UHT milk which is also served on planes)

There's no demand for it because.....

Stockpiling for the zombie apocalypse. That's the only sane reason to buy feicin' UHT.

DubMam · 28-10-2010 11:51AM

My mate drinks them like shots! The little ones you get in hotels, we end up robbing them off the trolleys in the corridors so she can have her fix! Bleugh

Fresh milk is definately nicer.
But i always have one or 2 liter of the UHT at home in case i run out of fresh milk.
UHT milk is still better than no milk.

ibarelycare · 28-10-2010 12:17PM

All milk is shite. Yuk!

_Whimsical_ · 28-10-2010 12:18PM

You can leave it out of the fridge and it doesn't go off. It can be handy in the summer or if you're having building work done & have no electricity. I never knew you could buy it until this summer when we had our electricity fixed and spent several days without it and uht milk proved pretty invaluable for a few weeks.

The skim uht milk is much nicer than the full fat uht.

munchkin_utd · 28-10-2010 12:27PM

the continentals love the stuff.
Not necessarily the taste, but the practicality of it.
You can buy it by the dozen in a wee pallet like in your picture and theres no need to store whatevers not opened in the fridge.
It does go off quick enough when opened though.

Tastewise, 90% of it is horrible in tea or cereal. 10% of the brands are nearly drinkable, if chilled to the last. (I've tried manys a brand by this stage!!)
But in Coffee its grand, no matter how sh1te it tastes on its own.

For continental folk the unpleasant taste is not a problem, they eat joghurt with their cereal and NO milk in their tea. So its really only for coffee normally.

So......
the story is .....
Its not really meant for Irish people!!

ASIDE:
in continental hotels its nearly always UHT milk they have out at the breakfasts (if its not marked as fresh, presume the worst!!!).
So the only way to eat a cereal is to go for coco pops that mask the sh1te milk taste!!

Eww. That comes from a cows tatas you know. Would you lick a cow's tatas?
I feckin' wouldn't.

I was on the train to the great ****hole of Dublin one day and there was a mother and a youngfella sitting beside me

the youngfella wanted milk, but they didn't have any. what did she do? got about 10 or 11 little UHT containers and emptied them into a plastic cup. the fella drank it, i can only imagine how rotten it must have tasted. he must have been fairly thirsty.

I mightn't do that. I have eaten a bull's balls once though.

Not everyone can afford to have a fridge running 24/7

I usually just buy it in cartons from the shop, for the convenience.

First thing I do when I go to a hotel is drink all the UHT milk in the press.

I'm stockpiling cows instead, it's a bit more work but I'm not drinking that UHT crap, apocalypse or no apocalypse.

+1 also german "tea" tastes like crap. The culture shock of my life asking for tea in Dieburg and being presented with a box of different varieties. The culture shock of her life when I asked for milk with it hahaha

Having a couple of litres of uht in the cupboard saved me having to walk into town twice this week in this crappy weather:) and as you say "UHT milk is still better than no milk."

Milk doesn't come from cows tatas. it comes from the milk man !!

MrStuffins · 28-10-2010 08:16PM

I'm living in Spain at the moment and all they bloody drink is UHT milk!

And even when you can find fresh milk in the shops, it still tastes like UHT and it lasts longer than milk at home so there must be SOME sort of treatment being done to it!

It's bloody nasty is that UHT sh*te!

italy is the same. spent half an hour looking around the supermarket for proper milk but there was none.

scudster · 28-10-2010 08:33PM

No matter where ya go on the continent, you nearly always seem to come across Lakeland Daries UHT milk which is processed in Cavan.

Before i lived here i lived in Valencia for a while back and there was one place where you could get proper fresh milk. But they only got in like 8 cartons of full and 8 cartons of skimmed a day. The shop would open at 9am and the milk would be gone by 10!

kylith · 28-10-2010 09:02PM

I love UHT milk. I developed a taste for it going to Dublin on the train when I was but a wee thing. When I camped in Prague a few years back we bought it because it was about 30C and we didn't have a fridge, so it was good for tea.

I drink the wee shots of it too.

Infinitely more fun to pierce the foil top with a syringe full of laxative and pump it in. :cool:

In other news. I can drink buttermilk by the litre. Nyom.
