This morning coffee is so good. Lactose-intolerant partner is gone for a week so I bought real cream to go into it. I don’t mind the plant-based stuff at all, the occasional real cream is all the better.
Do they not have lactose-free cream where you live?
People conflate lactose intolerance with a dairy allergy, but lactose is a sugar that is easily removed during processing of milk/cream, and there’s a lot of milk products nowadays that have lactose removed (milk, cream, half&half) or never had lactose to begin with (most hard cheeses).
Lactose-free milk is easy enough to find, but cream is harder to find and is much more expensive here when it is available. Partner also has a preference for plant-based for other reasons, so it’s simplest to keep that on hand so any cooking and baking results in something we can both eat.
