Milk and Cheese, do you eat them?

[surplusletterbox]

For those growing up in the modern world we all consume dairy products especially those overseas. Do you drink milk and eat cheese regularly just like a westerner? -chef

[evil_mui]

I only have a lil of each...
My mum used to make me drink milk...but its yucky >.<
Hmm...only like cheese if its on pizza :P
Hate cheese on its own!!
Its disgusting!!

[smallrinilady]

sad, i'm to much of a westerner too
i LOVE cheese
except for fried cheese

man that's just fried fat, how much worse can you go

[THF20]

Yeah... I do drink milk someimes but I usually just use it for making tea.

I like to eat cheese specially on Pizza or plainly those cheese triangle u get in the supermarket.

[Knoctur_nal]

milk and cheese is the shit...cept like all asians are lactose intolerant..haa..

[spudsz]

always loved milk and cheese. soy milk is good as well.

[larlarlar]

Cheese mostly only if its already going with something (Pizza, Poutine, Grill cheese, etc.) but not alone. And I drink a few glasses of milk each week.

[hiake]

Milk is the staple in my fridge, make all kinds of food with it~
Cheese, got mixed feeling for it. I've had some very amazing cheese at my friend's country house (heart heart HEART them), but I don't like to eat those Kraft Single (slices) in general except for with bread.

[asaasa]

of course

[Knoctur_nal]

milk n cheese substitute...

[kdotc]

i drink milk..cereal is good...but i hate cheese..cept on a burger with a lota condiments...had a cheese project last sem and there were so many types of cheese in the classroom and it made me sik..smells bad

[Knoctur_nal]

cheese project..now that is hilarious...

[kdotc]

[Knoctur_nal]

[Ecko]

[imaginatorgtr]

I am a Chinese and yes, I drink milk every morning.

[sir_denster]

Soymilk, baby, all the way!

[Thisdamngood]

I drink milk, but i hate cheese. I hate when Americans put cheese in everything. Not a big fan of Italian food. Too much tomatoe sauce and too cheesy.

[hiake]

I don't like putting cheese in everything the way Americans do either. But cheese by themselves can be VERY good :)

[Ecko]

cheese... only on my baked lobster...

[nicole]

When I was little couldn't stand taste of milke or cheese. Now grown up just each little to get calcium I need.

[a.dee.das]

I drink milk everyday, but I hate cheese!

[lilshawtee]

I love milk...

[arsenal6]

i dun see wat wrong with cheese and milke =\

[dvd]

cheese in a can the way to go NOT

[Tassadar2k03]

milk and cheese is alright but i can live without consuming it directly but in cake n stuff its good:P

[Knoctur_nal]

milk n cheese is fine...the real question is...who eats cheese n milk....

[Giniro]

I am a cheese and milk lover it is the best food and drink ever.

[kagome10]

I love cheese. I drink milk as long as it's turned into Chocolate milkshake. YUM

[cakl]

i come from hk.. that explains it XD

[a_gill]

sometimes i like it but not always . Those food is the easiest food to make you fat

[deliriouslybored]

erm. i guess it depends on where i am...

In the UK - yes, alot
Back in Asia - not at all

This is simply coz the milk tastes differently - it's pretty light in the UK, making it good as a simple light drink/snack, compared to those you get in asia, where i find it erm..heavier? Fresh milk tastes more like thickly made powdered milk...

Smoked cheese from netherlands (the one with the red casing) rocks!

[digdug]

I need cheese in my hamburger and what is a milk shake w/o milk or cereal in that regard

[rNb99]

i consume them once in a while. i prefer milk over cheese though..

[jnetcube5]

i'll drink milk and eat cheese.. but i don't eat cheese that often.

[heartcollector]

I was brought up drinking milk 3 times a day because it's supposed to help me grow. My bro and sis too. Yet, I'm still a midget. What a f*cking waste of money.

[Veincentury]

I ate milk and cheese at the same time in this great indian desert. Sweetened condensed milk and deep fried cheese ball. Tasty.

[hkm91450]

lol wtf?? cheese thread in chinese section...? I personally don't eat too much cheese.. maybe on pizza or whatever..

I can't remember exactly word for word scientific quoting - but I remember reading often that in fact, Chinese (and other Asians, including Japanese) are INCAPABLE of producing LACTASE, the enzyme required to breakdown LACTOSE (which is of course, found in milk products ~ oh boy, biology all over again >.<).

Statistics show that at least 2 out of 3 (or 60%) to as high as 90% of Chinese are lactose intolerant.

Luckily I'm not, I don't know how I'd live without lactose-based products. :D

[melroseddl1]

of course i do. Milk make me grow strong bones!!!!!!!
lol and of course cereal. without milk, it just plain nasty.
Cheese is of course saltie. on calzones are the best.
then of course u get chicken parm and cheese its.

[Sunjing]

I do like cheese and milk but only eat a little since it gives me gas..maybe im a litle lactose intolerant

[Cococokie]

milk! yoghurt! carrot juice! best.

[surplusletterbox]

cheese... only on my baked lobster...

Lobster is better with Mayonnaise if you like cheese as it is milder so it does not over power the subtle flavour of the lobster.-chef

[u-amp]

i have both, cheese as a snack or add on to something, milk is daily to keep bones healthy

[Ecko]

Lobster is better with Mayonnaise if you like cheese as it is milder so it does not over power the subtle flavour of the lobster.-chef

oh yes.. lovely..

I don't mind it.. but it's better without cheese so I can dip it in butter...

[otaku]

well i just consume it sometimes ^^ why not its healthy

[azndavid]

i ead and drink it all the time

[JYJLrock]

No way, my diet is traditional Chinese
No way, I am allergic to dairy products!

i vomit when i drink milk
but i can drink flavoured milk

[locustdd]

I love dairy products especially milk & cheese. But because I'm a little lactose intolerant, I can only take moderate amounts ... otherwise I'm OD'ing.

[Lith]

I eat cheese and milk and I am proud! ^^: its great cooking material too!

[Knoctur_nal]

philly cheese steak!

[chimagun]

i seldom consume dairy products. but when i do, i take them in large quantities

[tdmt]

i only drink milk because i have too. i actually hate it

[tdmt]

and for cheese, i can't stand them. i tried them before and nearly threw up

[tdmt]

i hate milk because i can smell the smell of cows in it. this reason is weird but that's what i feel about milk

[hkm91450]

lactose intolerance :D .... maybe that's perhaps why chinese cuisine rarely includes milk or cheese

[LuckTiger]

i drink one glass of milk every day for healthy bones...but cheese only on pizza or sandwich sometimes

[tdmt]

same here. i'm forced to drink 1 glass of mil every day and can only eat cheese on pizza because it actually lost the smell of cheese

[Knoctur_nal]

calcium pills..

[chi-bi-rain]

all the time, strange quesiton lol

[Knoctur_nal]

we have some strange ppl lurking in this forum.

[tdmt]

[chabunky2000]

[AC0110]

Cheese on the other hand need to be cooked for me...

I can't eat like a huge chunk of eat all at once...

I'm a picky eater... !!

[Vinnie_boy]

I hate all dairy product unless the taste is taken over by something else. Like for example i only like milk with tea cos you dont get the milk taste

[person]

Yeah, I drink milk and eat cheese. But lately I've been drinking more pop... lol.

[dim8sum]

If your chinese/hk then you drink Vita Milk :D

I HATE cheese on its own, or if it dominates the flavours. Dont mind it in pizza or maybe a burger

[picky]

[Kimstar]

[FungShui]

[100989]

i eat cheese and i drink milk... was grown up like that

[lee-lee]

only like milk with cereal and cheese on pizza. but eating cheese or drinking milk alone is just gross. i'll drink chocolate milk tho

[dann]

mmmm milk... and cheese...

i used to drink all types of milk.. only skim and chocolate now... and as for cheese... mmmmm lol i went to france and its impossible not to have a dish of cheese on the table somehow lol

[Taxloss]

I could drink it without any problems as a child but I hardly ever drink milk in my teenage years so it was only very recently that I've discovered I have a lactose intolerancy like many other Asians when I tried to drink some fresh milk with my cereal. But I've no problems eating whatever cheeses, thankfully!

Humans, like other mammals, can consume mother's milk during their infancy. In many ethnic groups, people lose the ability to digest milk after childhood (that is, they become lactose intolerant), so many traditional cuisines around the world do not feature dairy products.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milk

[boalover16]

somehow i dunt like eating cheese. but i only like eating cheese strings. they're good.

[liltwetee]

i wished i can...but i'm lactose!

[Lil-Chino]

Yo born and grow up in Holland it's very normal that almost erveryone eat cheese or milk...

So western or not milk was always normal to drink right???

[jocund]

i think plain milk is nice~~~~~~~~ hehee.. but my bf dislike plain milk~~

[Xx_Flora_xX]

I LUV CHeese!! basically i put cheese into every dish i hv ( well of coz i mean western dishes!!!)

[chiz]

[narutokun]

[yklrmno]

i love cheese.......eat vast amounts of it.......milk I have always drank at least a pint a day since I was little...........

[Kooslee]

Yes, I eat and drink milk and cheese along with ice-cream. Asian diet's lack of calcium so we are proned to have osteoporosis later in life.

[ivyjue]

[ch0ps7ix]

im surprise so many ppl eat cheese n drink milk.... arnt majority of Asians lactose intolerant

[phoenixgirl16]

I Like milk n cheese too..its cool =]

[amano.ai]

[ch0ps7ix]

^doesnt go well for u either huh ?? :P

[PearlC]

i luv cheese........especially cheesecake - tho it has no relevance 2 cheese

[hiake]

Majority of Asians lactose intolerant??? Never heard of that. I only know 1 person who's lactose intolerant, and it's only a mild case... easily remedied by prescribed allergic pills.

[pirvee]

I love milk and Cheese....We can almost drown in milk here in Holland...Its very cheap and easy to get it, and people even say its healthy :) !!
But the best Chees in the world is Mozarella chees from Italy!!

[BabyRain]

Risk factors

A few risk factors can make you or your child more prone to lactose intolerance:

Age. Lactose intolerance usually starts in adolescence and early adulthood. However, the condition is uncommon in babies and young children. A child with chronic diarrhea before age 1 usually has another underlying problem.
Ethnicity. Lactose intolerance is more common in certain ethnic and racial populations. Lactose intolerance is more common in black, Asian, Hispanic and Native American populations.
Premature birth. Infants born prematurely (28 to 32 weeks of gestation) may have reduced levels of lactase, because this enzyme increases in the fetus late in the third trimester.

hope this helps.:)

[hiake]

Weird then... I've know plenty of Westerners who are lactose intolerance but only ONE Asian with the same condition @_@b

Although I guess it make sense that Asians are more likely to be lactose intolerant because we don't use milk as much in our diet (historically) so the protein (and in turn its product enzyme) to break that down may have been genetically eliminated throughout time... like the enzyme to break down alcohol (which is often absent in Asians, thus the flushing after a drink or two :P)

[x3-yuu]

i dont like eating to much of it
although i like cheese on pizze:D

That makes sense :D
Lactose intolerance is to do with the person's genes and hormones.

[ItsRobertttt]

mmm milk and cheese

[brown_bear]

i like cheese but dont really like to drink milk..i like chocolate flavoured milk like the ones you can buy in HK -drool

[hiake]

I don't like the Chocomilk in canada... most of them taste pasty =_=bbb

But in Hong Kong I like Soy milk or McVita drinks :P

[ItsRobertttt]

isnt there chocolate milk everywhere? well almost everywhere or is it that the ones in hk are better... should i go to hk just to try some?-whistle

[ogbaka]

drink milk everyday as much as water

[ItsRobertttt]

^ya and then you gotta go to the bathroom twice as much O_o;;

[hiake]

Drinking that much milk (as much as water? That'd be 8 glass) may be overkill...

[ItsRobertttt]

16 glasses of liquid... ogbaka you gonna spend like an hour in the bathroom

[wind2000]

^ Doubt it if he doesnt have lactose intolerance.

[hiake]

^ But wouldn't 16 glasses of fluid each day screw up your renal system if it's is long term???

I don't know, when I heard 16 glasses, water overdose came to mind (hypotonia?), but I guess since half of that is milk it's slightly safer?

[sir_denster]

You always know when you've had too much dairy! :(

[subaru3169]

i eat everything almost and i like it.. i think i'm too used to american stuff :lol: :lol:
