What do we call Nut Milk?

What do we call it? Bruce said "Ain't seen tits on a almond or cashew". I'm gonna enter the names from the Whats for breakfast thread.

Juice. Coconuts started this

expensive

smoothie would probably be most appropriate given that it's made by sticking nuts and water in a blender?

Milk or juice? Hmmm, I thought coconut juice is the liquid in the center and coconut milk is what you get from the crushed pulp. Nuts don't have liquid in the center.

GOT NILK?

(just trying that one on for size)

Because flavor and consistency-wise, it works as a good substitute for milk, and people are too stupid to accept change otherwise. Like how it's called a Snuggie because then you can believe your inanimate object's caress is as good as that of another human being's and won't want to kill yourself.

:lol: I needed that laugh.

It's like getting people to drink their magnesium hydroxide suspension by calling it milk of magnesia.

I tell them I have a whole herd of magnesias out back and milked them fresh this morning.

I like Nilk. I'm going with that.
Cuz you can say it and people will do a double take. Meow, you know what I mean?

I would like to point out that I find it necessary to specify "almond milk" versus "cashew milk," etc. I don't ever say the generic "nut milk" because to me that evokes semen. Sorry, but it does.

It was supposed to. :blush:

So there can be generic nilk, almondilk or cashewilk for those with dirty minds, mixnilk and deluxe mixnilk (without peanuts). What else?

Soy Nilk, Rice Nilk

Nilk is a contraction of Nut Milk. Soy is a bean and rice is a grain; but what the heck, the almonds and cashews we use are really just the seeds and not the whole Nut with the shell anyway so one could consider them all to be of the same ilk (see what I did there).

Soy Nilk and Rice Nilk are; therefore, perfectly cromulent terms.

(The brand name Silk for Soy Milk will probably prevail much as Tylenol does for generic acetaminophen.)

Right. Nilk is also a catch all marketing term encompassing all milk like beverages that are not produced by mammals.

Hmm... that's a little broad. I think my morning glass of spider drippings should be Spilk.

I just call it pretty good, for some things.

It could also be "Not Milk"

Wuice (White Juice)

It should properly be called milk because the root of that word is for the verb to express or press out

Roots? Cows ain't got roots. Cows don't need no stinkin' roots. :p:
Neither do the goats those hillbilly hippies drink from.

I'm sticking with Nilk

Not sure what you call milk made from nuts (the kind you get from trees and not the kind Wolf keeps an eye on) but I do know what you call what you get if you shake it too much: Nutter Butter.

Well that does it. Now this whole thread is foul, and we all should be ashamed of it.

Foul?

Um... no.

I'm pleased to say that hasn't caught my attention during my weekly grocery trip to Tesco. :eek::eek::eek:

Think I'll stay with the semi-skimmed variety.

Is that for religious or medical reasons?

No, just personal preference.

I (we) don't go in for full cream milk in an attempt to limit fat intake.
On reflection, that probably does qualify as a medical reason but there's no specific condition which needs to borne in mind.

'We' don't call it anything.

Well, here's a thread in which I have yet to comment.

There, that's better.

:)

I don't know what nut milk is! I thought it was semen. Sorry, that's crass. ;)
