apparently it has a pungent musky animal taste:

“The koala was probably my favorite, but that was for sentimental reasons and not taste. They were all pretty similar to be honest.” How? “Quite musky, a bit funky and a bit metallic.” Mmm, musky. “The best word would be pungent—definitely not enjoyable.”

Would he ever use koala milk again, then? “I guess if I was to use any of them again I’d try to dilute the taste with cream, maybe some vanilla. Just anything to lose that strong animal flavor.”

honestly sounds disgusting

I was a strict vegan for 5+ years (I still mostly cook vegan and vegetarian at home), and as I’ve become more flexible in my diet, I’ve been surprised at how off-putting animal products are - particularly dairy has a disgusting animal smell / taste to them that I don’t like. Low quality / more refined dairy products actually taste better to me because they are less likely to have that animal taste, but I still don’t like it as much as vegan alternatives most of the time (like, I strongly prefer vegenaise to real sour cream, for example).

oh no, I’m so sorry :-(

I sorta wish I were allergic to bananas, I learned too much about the United Fruit company and the civil war in Guatemala, now all I can think of is the blood on my hands when I eat bananas (but bananas are too culturally ingrained in the US for my to successfully avoid them)

not wanting to support US imperialism is not a “good” reason for avoiding bananas, but being allergic would be a “good” reason

Damn. My condolences.

ah, I had this stuff growing up - but I never got to try the banana flavor! I think mine was always a pink-bubblegum flavor? Milky is a good way to put it - sorta chalky too?
