i think if i was lactose intolerant i'd just kill myself.
how can people bear to live without the miracles of dairy?
topic for discussion: what are the best dairy products, and what are the best foodhacks antilactoids can use to make their lives less miserable?
They're finally opening a Lidl near me so we don't have to plan a bajillion other things to do to make the 45 minute to the one we go to worth it. Why am I mentioning Lidl? Because their sour cream is surprisingly high quality and half the price of Daisy. It has two ingredients: dairy and cultures, just like Daisy. No gums.
Best dairy product is Italian cooking cream. Mexican cooking cream is very, very similar. They're my secret ingredient for a number of recipes, most notably my garlic mash.
My wife is lactose intolerant. She still eats dairy but she just takes her lactase supplement for anything but liquid dairy. For that, we buy lactose free milk. I hate the stuff. It's made lactose free by adding lactase, which breaks down the lactose into its two constituent sugars (can't remember which two they are, glucose and galactose, I think). As a result, it tastes sweet af and it's absolutely revolting in coffee or cooking or anything but she's used to it, I guess.
>>21448774 (OP)lactose mostly matters just for drinking fresh milk, and even then you can usually have a little bit if it's mixed with food. cheese and butter have very little, yogurt has probiotic bacteria that help break down lactose during digestion, cream products usually aren't consumed in high enough amounts to cause lactose issues and if you have an upset stomach from those it's probably from too much fat.
>>21448774 (OP)let's just murder everyone who has lactose intolerance, lmao.

>>21448841This Asians are fucking lame desu
>>21448846But I'm Asian and not lactose intolerant. At least not yet. My dad developed lactose intolerance in his 60s but I think it's because I honestly can't remember him ever having any dairy at all, ever, besides aged cheeses my alpine-ass mum would use in cooking. I drink milk every morning. My son and I together go through about 8 gallons every month.
>>21448774 (OP)i think im a bit lactose intolerent. i have shits when i drink milk, but anything else (cheese, sour cream, ice cream) I don't.
>>21448802Is it the Lidl in Downtown Brooklyn? You sound like someone who pays a lot of money for an apartment in Fort Greene
>>21448774 (OP)A dairy is a farm where they have cows. Why are you referring to "dairy" as if it's a food.
>foodhacksOh, you're a retard who grew up online.
Learn to use your shift key so you can capitalize. Fucking zoomer cunt.
>>21449545have you tried not being a retard lately?
Anyone who enjoys dairy products and especially sour cream has no excuse not to make creme fraiche and enjoy that vastly superior product instead. It's just
>heavy cream
>active cultures like a small packet of non-flavored greek yogurt
>a clean jar
>a coffee filter to cover with a rubber band or screw-on rim
Creme fraiche is 10x better than sour cream it's not even close. Much more depth of flavor(there's more tanginess and nuttiness, you can eat salted creme fraiche by the spoonful and enjoy it it's that good), doesn't break when used in heated cooking, adjustable thickness by how much culture you seed it with. It's braindead easy to make and keeps for a while in the fridge, and it's also step 1 in making cultured butter which is the superior butter product.
>>21449545Dairy farm. Farm. Dairy farm. A farm for producing Dairy products. Dairy products. Products made using milk and its derivatives. Dairy. Any comestible or category of comestibles that are derived from milk. Dairy.
>>21448774 (OP)cheese>greek yogurt>cream/milk products>regular yogurt>sour cream>mayo
>>21449400Nope. Delaware. I either have to drive to Middletown, which is 30 minutes away and had morning else going on, or Philadelphia's western suburbs, which has a lot more to do. Whenever we go to Philly for ethnic groceries, we stop at Lidl.
>>21448774 (OP)I thought I was beginning to develop intolerance, but this milk has been sitting really well, and it tastes way better. I use it for my daily Cortado.
>>21448846I was just discussing this with my wife. About opening up a coffee shop with low overhead by forgoing all the alternate milks and how American blacks and Hispanics might be able deal with it, but East Asians would have to go elsewhere unless they like black coffee and straight espresso.
>>21449571What if you live in a shithole third world country (Canada) and can't buy heavy cream, unpasteurised milk, or any cream at all without shit ass stabilisers?
lactose intolerance pills cost $0.02 each
>>21449828If you're already eating shit from that country that employs stabilizers then you should be focused on leaving for a place that you prefer instead of complaining that this might be the 200th product you use that has shelf-life extenders. If you eat sour cream you should be eating homemade creme fraiche because of how little effort you need to put in to get a product that is so much better. If you don't eat sour cream or dairy to begin with then my post never applied to you and you shouldn't even be in a thread about dairy products.
>>21449571i dont want to taste nut when i eat my tacos you freak
>>21448774 (OP)Don't fall for the squeeze container sour cream in this pic. After you use around 2/3 of the sour cream, it becomes annoying to get out the rest. It's like squeezing a toothpaste tube, but then they made the cap ginormous so now you're squeezing in three dimensions.
>>21451586You'll learn to love the nut. Add lime and you get mexican crema, dummy.
>>21451587just roll it up and put a chip clip over the empty part
>>21451587>>21451636Spend a couple hundred on a 3D printer and make one of these. It lets you squeeze pretty much all of the sour cream out of the tube.
If you want a reason to not use the tube, it's only 14oz while the tub is 16oz for the same price.
>>21451754>>21451636>>21451587?
I dislike it for how wide it is making it slightly more difficult to get the sour cream out than a toothpaste tube but I never have problems with either.
>>214517543d printer chads at it again
Daisy is flavorless. Get your local grocery store/dairy brand instead.
Servings of milk and ice cream are the only dairy products that give me any trouble. Cheeses, sour cream, yogurt, whey, and butter are too processed to actually do anything. Still, I avoid these due to lack of interest.
>>21448774 (OP)Sour cream barely even has lactose
>>21448774 (OP)>squeezable sour creamCan Americans please stop?
>>21453547I mean it's just sour cream in a tube. Yuros like squeezable meat paste. Is this really that much weirder to you?
