joesfolk, have you ever tried Almond Milk? Some brands are tastier than others. My daughter, who is also lactose intolerant, likes "365" from Whole Foods. I only use mine for cooking because I'm just not a milk drinker (unless it's in a milkshake) but it's called:
Blue Diamond
Natural
Almond Breeze
.
Joesfolk, my father could not fathom why I didn't like milk. I'm still ambivalent with milk unless it is served up with a slice of cake, some cookies, or even a fresh doughnut.
I can't drink milk unless it has a liberal dose of chocolate syrup.
I HATED tomatoes, onions, and spinach. All things I love now so I guess it worked out.
Lima Beans... couldn't stand them then... can't stand them now!
Can't think of anyfood that I did not enjoy as a kid...might be why I became a Chef
