Just wondering what the consensus would be. Is it good and fine (if you like the taste, of course) because it is truly 100% vegan? Or would y'all consider it a horrifying simulacrum of a product of cruelty towards animals?
I am asking because I'm a vegan chef and I was excited to find out that they're making animal-free "dairy" milk through bacterial/fungal fermentation, because plant based "milks" don't really work the same as cow milk does. And theoretically if it has the right proteins/fats it could be used to make vegan cheese that has the actual properties of cheese? So like I think it's very exciting personally. But I'd like to know what others think before I suggest we try to order some, since it'd be a waste if nobody actually wanted to eat anything made with it.
no because cow milk tastes/smells gross
i disagree with you on both counts (it doesn't really smell very strongly unless it's going bad) but I will still upvote you, thank you for your opinion and input my good comrade <3 <3 <3
How strong is your nose?
if you don't have dairy for a while, the smell of it becomes very noticeable. there's nothing plant based even close to it. it's very noticeable and pretty gross but if you're a regular consumer of it you don't really notice it.
heavy dairy consumers sometimes have a very dairy-heavy BO as well which i think they also don't notice.
