Noice, AI for the win.

Some years ago, after some initial alarm and long-term experimentation, I discovered that I'd somehow suddenly become lactose-intolerant in my 30s. I went through all the different non-dairy alternatives - for taste I generally preferred soy milk, oat is ok but I found I had to use a lot of it to sufficiently lighten tea/coffee to my taste - but in the end I just started buying lactose-free cow milk. I understand it's basically the same as 'normal' milk, but at some point in the process they add an enzyme that digests all the lactose.

It wouldn't work for your particular issue I guess Doug (unless it's actually the lactose in the milk that's causing the problem), but it's nice there's a variety of alternatives nowadays.

Cows milks health benefits to humans has been one of the most insidious and sucsessful misinformation campaigns ever. Oatly is fab!

Oatly is fab!

I haven't yet nerved myself up to buying the more expensive 'Oatly' brand, but this week I tried something from Lidl called Vemondo Oat Barista which has been my favourite brand thus far.

Next week when I go shopping I might upgrade to Oatly and compare it.

It’s weird, the ingredients are pretty much the same yet Oatly is much more creamy than the others. The trick is it’s usually always on sale somewhere, I find out where and go buy a crapload at a time. If I pay more than £1.50 I feel robbed

I just made myself a late breakfast with a bagel and two eggs. I cut the bagel in half, put olive spread on the insides, placed those face down on a frying pan, cracked two eggs and emptied them into the holes in the centre of each half-bagel, then turned up the heat and pushed it all about it a bit, flipped it over, and when it was done I'd made some kind of fried bagel egg sandwich. Absolutely delicious.
