That it's milk with almond. Like "chocolate milk" is milk with chocolate and "milk coffee" is coffee with milk.
- wumpus 5y agoSo if I'm Catholic, it's OK for me to drink almond-flavored dairy-milk during Lent? Win! From medieval and Renaissance-era recipes, religious rules appears to be the main reason almond milk is used. Because it's not dairy.
- frabbit 5y agoNot sure about that, but I do know that if you want to eat capybara on Fridays as your fish dish you should be fine.
- jhbadger 5y agoDo you have a problem with the name "peanut butter"? It isn't butter with peanuts in it. Or mincemeat pie, which isn't made out of minced meat?
- frabbit 5y agoProper mincemeat pies contain suet and have a very different taste from the vegetarian ones. So yes, in that case it is a problematic name that conflates two usefully distinct things.
