Peanut butter seconded. With jelly or honey or by itself. ---

Italian food - I don’t drink wine, so my default drink with a nice pasta and marinara sauce is a big ol’ glass of milk. It cuts down on the acid of the tomato sauce, blends nicely in my mouth. ---

I don’t drink milk often but when I do it is mainly only with cake, Peanut Butter (or cereal of course). And I just realized this sounds like that meme but I didn’t mean it to. ---

I will drink milk with most foods I grew up on. The ones I am not inclined to drink milk with are things from most Asian cuisines (unless warranted when I order something super spicy). Milk is required with steak, pork chops, sandwiches, cookies, cake, etc. ---

> [@Johnny\_L.A](#): > > Drinking milk? Weird. I though milk was an _ingredient!_ Some people actually do. Weirder still, they drink it when it is 90° out, when it turns into a gluey mess in the mouth. Oddly, no one has as yet mentioned anything like Corn Chex. I guess beer is still the right thing for breakfast cereal. ---

> [@mascaroni](#): > > [Alcohol!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bN__vsJybE) A good Bourbon Milk Punch IS very…good. Shake a shot of whiskey with a teaspoon of sugar and a dash of vanilla extract and ice. Strain into a tall glass and top with cold milk and stir. Nutmeg on top is optional. Milk is also the best accompaniment to the traditional Thanksgiving night leftover turkey sandwich. ---

I can’t actually remember the last time I drank milk. I do remember that it goes well with cookies, cake, boxed cereal, doughnuts and chocolate. I rarely eat those things anymore. That’s just me, though. ---

I used to drink roughly a half gallon of milk daily\*. It goes well with brownies/cookies/smores… basically anything with chocolate… perhaps more tellingly I can’t think of anything it doesn’t go with? I suppose I would prefer something else with steak/fish/to drink on the side of my cereal _with milk_. All in all chocolate milk is my favorite drink period, but regular, 2%, milk goes with just about everything. \*It should be noted that my doctor told me this would cause gallbladder stones and recommended I cut it down, which I have, to my disdain. ---

Grilled cheese sandwiches. I don’t often pour myself a glass of milk, but if I’m having a grilled cheese at home, I’m having milk with it. ---
