It’s not really milk.
We should just call it pea. Already reminds us of a liquid.

Ahh yes give me your finest cup of pea.
Tea sir, what kind may I ask?
Heather, scum. I said pea... Do you not understand?
What's the comparative energy usage for the production process?
My fiance has food allergies, including dairy & tree nuts (like almonds). Once she discovered pea milk she started making mashed potatoes again. It turns out coconut milk doesn't make a great choice. I don't remember why she doesn't like soy milk.
It's an ...acquired taste
Do we have to call it pea milk though?
No. In fact, I hope the manufacturers store it in testicle-shaped bottles.
I only drink golden showers brand
Essence of pea
Pilk
I already don't call it that.
I prefer a different spelling?

I love drinking pea
Try showering in it. The experience is golden.
I tried pea milk for the first time a couple of weeks back, albeit it was chocolate flavored. It was pretty good and is a good alternative to water-hungry almond milk.
pea milk is the only cow milk alternative i am willing to drink. all the other immitations are unbearable..oat, almond etc... yuck
For cereal and similar breakfast applications, I quite like oat milk. It does have a strong oat flavor though.
It's great if you can handle its pea-ness.
My kids love drinking pea.
This is exactly the reference I was making
Decades later I still have to say this, in an Orson Welles voice, any time I'm cooking with peas.
Does it have qualities that would make it useful replacement in cooking and baking, or is it a drink alternative? The archive link isn't working for me, so sorry if this is in the article. I'm really curious.
Or the real question, does it make cheese?
Yeah if people want this to catch on you can't call it pea milk.
Peas are a type of pulse. So let's call it pulse milk that sounds a lot more appetizing :>
Peas are just seeds, so call it seed milk.
Hell yeah, give peas a chance!
Oat milk is pretty good. I recently switched over to it from soy milk and it's high in calcium and all the other nutrients. Very creamy.
Edit: damn that's batshit crazy, I should give pea milk a try.
Here's the comparison table of the nutrients in the article

The colour of it makes me feel a bit noxious. Maybe I shouldn't have eaten that candy snake I found in my jacket pocket just before jumping into bed.
Do you mean nauseous?
Yes. I was relying on autocorrect to help me out and after not finding the correct spelling after half a dozen attempts I gave up in favour of whatever that word I used is. I am on my side, half asleep.
Do you mean nauseated?
No
This is one of those things that everyone understands. Like "nauseous" may not be accepted as English by some upper class conservatives in charge of writing dictionaries, but to the rest of us it's understood and frequently used.
A language is a tool to communicate, not a bunch of rules.
It's this same grammar nazi logic that leads to dialects spoken by middle class and rich white people to be the "correct" one while those spoken by black people and lower class white people are seen as "incorrect".
I think everyone understood that the original commenter meant nauseous/nauseated instead of noxious. The corrector was being an annoying pedant, so I was pointing that out by correcting their “incorrect” word.

Well of course. Peas are a lot smaller than cows and will eat and fart a lot less.
we don't have data for its water usage though?
You aren't going to pea in my milk!
pea juice*
peas do not have nipples.
Now I'm thinking about other options. Tomato milk. Grape milk. Orange milk. Lemon milk.
Gonna have to start calling stuff "peanut spread" and "hot assorted meat trimmings"
Also, we've been using the word milk to include plant milk since the year 1200

I've had pea milk, doesn't seem too rare in the UK. It was nice enough, maybe slightly watery compared to oat (my go to) but that could just have been the brand.
The comparisions are interesting, but also kind of demonstrate the futility of debating between plant based milks. There's a clear worst candidate here, and it isn't plant based. If your thinking of switching, choose your favourite, soy might be the second worst but it's significantly less than half the emmisions of cow milk.
