If you use tofu in place of beef it is not correct to call it "soy beef". Milk is a specific thing, no kind of milk comes from beans.

- colanderman 9y ago"Milk" has been a generic term ever since coconut milk has existed. Heck, Wiktionary even cites 14th and 15th century uses of the term "almond milk". [1] Not to mention "milk of magnesia", which isn't even a foodstuff. Just because you personally have not heard the non-dairy sense used until recently does not mean it is incorrect or should be "illegal" as the GP suggests.

- greglindahl 9y agoHave you ever eaten in a Chinese vegetarian restaurant? They usually have fake meat of every kind, and they do call some kinds of it 'beef'.
