Vegan drink Oatly can’t call itself ‘milk’, judges rule - eviltoast

I’ll probably stick to asking for oat milk instead of “porridge water” or whatever the new mandated name will be. To be honest I do think calling it “milk” lets them inflate the price when it is essentially porridge water.

    I thought George RR Martin invented the phrase “milk of the poppy” to describe apine/opium in his ASOIAF series. Never crossed my mind that he might have lifted it from a history textbook.

      I mean you might be right. However there exists a Ukrainian Christmas dessert called poppy milk that’s just poppy seeds and water.

      So I’m gonna give myself this one on a technicality haha
