I have a bit of an issue with dairy, and when I say a bit, I mean a lot... But that does not stop me from eating ice cream. Nothing could stop me from that.
At work I have soy milk in my coffee, at home I use almond milk in my cereal and hot drinks but for cooking and baking I use full cream milk because it gives the best results. We don't have any of these fancy percentage type milks in our supermarkets. We have full cream, skim milk or soy type alternatives. I think half and half for us would be combining whipping cream and normal milk. Does not sound very appetising.
