Plant based milk is superior because it doesn't expire 3 days after I buy it. Truly the Chad amongst milk options.

Drinking too much of it doesn't make my tummy feel funny either.
The prices are still insane in Hungary. You mean you fed a cow multiple times the amount of plant matter, milked it, pasteurized it, have to sell it within a short window, and that costs half or more like a third the price of oat milk? Ok.
Yeah because dairy cows have a ridiculous output of milk. Like 25l a day, some going up to 40l.
Yeah I'm sure it has nothing to do with subsidies and other incentives, and economy of scale.
This doesn't count the home made plant-based milk, does it?
Some people are blending some fine milk!
I did some math on the price of a good blender. In my part of the world, it costs the same as about 35 cartons of plant-based milk.
So it is cheaper in the long run plus you don’t have to take the cartoons to the recycling depot.
Evil omnivore here from /all - does anyone care to recommend a vegetarian or vegan sausage available in the U.S. ? I've tried a few but none were really palatable.
Trying to wean the family from eating so much meat but not loving most of the direct alternatives. Need to start looking at meals that aren't "replacing" meat so much as just not having it, maybe.
On the subject of malk, I liked oat though it was pretty thin. Fine in cereal but only ok in my tea. Almond is fine but even the unsweetened ones tasted sweet to me? Don't love how much water it takes either. Haven't tried soy or pea yet.
I have tried the one brand Beyond Meat hotdogs, I think they’re great.
Tofurky makes them too and they use clean ingredients.
You can also order more options from the online store Vegan Supply.
Thank you for the tips.
I find the lightlife hot dogs to be good. Especially in mac and cheese.
Thank you, I'll check them out.
Don't have too high expectations. They're hotdogs. Definitely pan fry or grill. Boiled or microwaved is not good.
Noted, thanks!
Almond milk is almost as cheap as dairy here, hopefully it catches on more.
typically cheaper
I'm not a vegan, but I'd have preferred soy-based milk if it was cheaper than dairy. They are probably talking about oat base and it is disgusting
Depends on where you get oat milk, as it's quality is weirdly variable. It's generally a pretty good creamer, though it I had to drink it by itself I'd much prefer soy or maybe pea based milk (pretty dang close in both texture and taste).
I love oat milk. Soy is nutritionally better though.
