In Korea, dairy products beyond eggs are rare and expensive. It is just not a part of their diet. This is reflected in what the cafeteria serves. We don't have milk or cheese often. Since I am sensitive to milk, cheese, and ice cream and must monitor how much of this I eat to avoid getting sick, this wasn't a problem.
However, I am finding on the rare occasions that I do drink milk, that I don't care for it much anymore. It tastes okay, I suppose. But smells absolutely rotten. I have to taste test all milk now to know if it is good or not because my sense of smell betrays me.
I still love cheese with my pasta, but I am using a lot less than I have in the past. I want the extra flavor it gives, but it is easier and easier to moderate how much.
My weakness is still ice cream. I decided I best not even stock it in my freezer. It is gone too quickly for me to be happy because I know it will show up on my waistline.
I don't mind these changes. I hope that I am a better person for it.
I am surprised there isn't at least goat milk. It seems that goat milk is easier on the stomach, if I remember right, and its cheese (feta) is very good (makes great alfredo sauce!).
ReplyDeleteMaybe you can get some ice cream for your birthday to go with your cake! :)
I hate giving up ice cream too! Though I found Coconut milk ice cream that's good, it's just not the same!. The milk smells rotten to me too so it's not just you. I have been told that if you're lactose intolerant, goat's milk is just as bad for you as cow's milk. I'm hoping my dairy-free pumpkin pie will turn out well this Thanksgiving!
