Milk

Margaret Thatcher may be getting a state funeral, but that doesnt mean she has been forgiven for stopping free milk for primary school kids! perhaps if this had continued we would not now be a nation of obese citizens. I love milk and as much as it can get a slating for being too fatty, i believe that milk can form part of a healthy diet, whatever your goals are. Milk is without a doubt one of the most versatile and useful foods out there. personally I am a semi skimmed man. skimmed is a bit too watery and full fat is too creamy and i can feel my arteries clogging up! yes its constantly going up in price and we now have all these different types to choose from ...  Read the complete review

***Please note that this is the only milk catagory available and I have waited several months for the a more specific catagory to be added, so for now this will have to do** Although I tend to use semi- skimmed milk on a daily basis, I often find (courtesy of the kids) the empty milk carton in the fridge with no back up. Most of the time this isn't a problem ,but first thing in the morning in the mad school rush going to the shop for more is not an option,so what's a girl supposed to do? Enter, tescos U.H.T(Ultra heat treated) skimmed milk!!! Perusing the shelves of my local Tesco store I noticed the familiar "value" packaging ...  Read the complete review

Crusha milkshake was originally launched into cafes across the UK in the 1950s. The company is part of the Silver Spoon sugar company. Crusha is a syrup based milkshake. You pour the extremely sticky syrup into the bottom of the glass, and top it up with cold milk. The bottle recommends that the syrup:milk ratio is 1:6, although I personally prefer it a bit weaker than this. There is no need to whisk or stir the milkshake, as a perfect mix is obtained just through the turbulent flow of milk when pouring. This is contrary to powder milkshake mixes such as 'Nesquik'. The main flavours are strawberry, banana, chocolate and raspberry, and these ...  Read the complete review

Milk Chocolate M&Ms I grew up with Smarties. They were somehow viewed as better than sweets (though they looked like them) and semi-educational (or at least the tube tops with the letters on were if you collected hundreds and then played scrabble like games with them. We still have 2 million or so in the loft somewhere, from ones we ate and ones we picked up off the ground whilst on rainy day walks). We have pictures of me eating Smarties, age 3, in France. Sitting at birthday party, aged 2, with a handful on my highchair. They’re what I was used to and for ages I didn’t feel the need to try M&Ms, their almost identical twin. M&Ms are ...  Read the complete review

Semi-skimmed milk was introduced in 1973, it can be a great benefit to us, as it has all the goodness of whole milk, but some of the fat has been taken out. It is ideal for people who want to cut down some of the fat content in their diet. I first tried semi-skimmed milk about twelve months ago as I wanted to cut out some of the fat in my diet. I wasn’t to keen on it at first because I had been brought up drinking whole milk with that rich creamy flavour, but when your trying to lose weight you have to sacrifice some things in life. Now I don’t know if it is just me or if it happens to every body who has changed from whole to semi-skimmed. ...  Read the complete review
