Faithful: But what I want to know is what ever happened to the Frito Bandito? Ay, ay, ay, ay!

zeogold: I'm going to go out on a limb here and say political correctness.
Likely so, but i use to enjoy collecting the little ones that came in the small Frito packs.
avatar
tinyE: They sell that here.
That's because you yoopers are secretly Canadian, you guys just refuse to admit it.
avatar
tinyE: And not just on the border where I live, but down in Missouri where I used to live.
Missouri's weird, too.

At this point I think I'd prefer being Canadian. :P

Look, don't worry, the rest of us Americans will recognize you guys up there.
...eventually.
I mean, to be fair, it's a long trek to get there. It's easier just to send a postcard to make sure you guys are still alive and haven't been annexed or sunk in one of those giant lakes or something.

TARFU: Make sure to pick up an extra when you go to the store so you don't find yourself in this predicament again.
Here, fixed it for you:

$50 says they came up with the name first. Someone said it sounded great, so all they needed was a product to pin it on. ;P

It's funny how many people have never heard of nut milk before considering humans have been making nut milks (by one name or another) for thousands of years. They're not something new in the world, just something having increasing popularity in North America at the moment.

Blargh...I'll stick with my milk from the cow, thanks. Call me old fashioned.

Oh I've heard of it before, but as (name nut here)milk. What I haven't heard of is "silk". :P

Strange. It's famous for being a Canadian thing. Must've found some fans a little further south.

That's, like...the biggest almond milk brand there is.

Nobody's done it yet, so I suppose I have to be the first to make the joke:
....how do you milk a nut?
I just found this.

Like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeZCMNB2YO0

I didn't pick the best video there, that chick has like a $10 Walmart welfare blender that can't blend worth shit. When it is blended properly you can't see any nut chunks in it, which requires using a proper blender, not that yard sale crap. I use a Blendtec HP3-A, designed by men for men, none of that sissy hardware that explodes if you drop an icecube in the carafe. :) A Vitamix would work well also.

Also, cheesecloth is completely inadequate, tonnes of fine pulp will go through it. You need a proper nut milk bag, or a fine mesh strainer like a stainless steel coffee filter (pristine, not used for coffee). This extracts all the fine pulp.

For cashew milk, no filtering is necessary with a good blender, it bashes the snot out of the cashews and liquifies them completely with only the slightest trace of pulp.
