While I'm at it - and I did mention this in the other thread - M&S do the best milk chocolate. It doesn't have any emulsifiers. We buy it in bulk. Here it is. And here is someone reviewing it.

oxalates?

Waitrose sell a good goat milk

The one time I tried goat milk I didn't like it at all. Can you post a link to the Waitrose brand?

oxalates?

I don't think I eat enough for that to be a concern - maybe 30g a day.

What would be a symptom of excessive oxalate consumption?

Honestly both waitrose and M&S are your best bet for pretty much everything. Veg, fruits and even meats (especially Waitrose - they do grass fed meats). It’s more expensive than places like Tesco but the quality is far superior

On that note, M&S sell “Maran island” eggs which on the pack says “hens free to roam lush pasture” so I’d assume they are fully free range. They sure taste like it anyway

Yeah, I've found that to be the case too.

Recently found these. Taste nice, not too sweet which I liked. Convenient if you’re not up for making your own.

How do you know waitrose meat is grass fed

I also bought this milk from M&S yesterday - organic whole. It's very, very nice. (It is pasteurised and homogenised, though).

Good unhomogenised option in Sainsbury's if you want Jersey milk.

Sainsbury's sell it. Usually £2.50 for 250g, on offer at the moment for £2. Tastes great.

Yes these are a great option. I've been getting eggs direct from a local farm, but these were the best supermarket eggs I've found so far.

is it grass fed and what is homogenization, is that the most important factor in whether a milk is peaty or not

 

[calvert79]

homogenised breaks up the fat droplets so they're even throughout. in the old days all milk was unhomogenized which is why you got the cream at the top.

Graham's GOLD top in Waitrose is unhomogenised and tastes amazing but I order my raw milk from gazegill organics. they do a weekly subscription and it's the best milk I've tasted

Do you think waitrose goat milk pasteurized homogenised is peaty

Nothing about it that’s unpeaty

I drink it (and the M&S one - which I prefer). Afaik goat milk is naturally homogenised anyway

 

[Sefton10]

Don’t let great be the enemy of the good! If it tastes good and you feel good drinking it, have at it. Goat milk is already pretty homogenised naturally due to the smaller fat globules than cow milk.

Nice raw honey that works out reasonably priced when bought in the bulk tub.

I’ve seen this brand in waitrose, but in smaller jars. They also have one that contains royal jelly
