Ice-cold milk is the perfect complement to a hangover breakfast of scrambled eggs, bacon, and waffles. I don’t know why rehydrating after drinking too much with milk always makes me feel much better than rehydrating with water or some other beverage. ---

I’ve found that a small glass of milk late at night is somewhat refreshing before bed and relieves any minor urges to snack. ---

Freshly-popped popcorn. Pizza, preferably cold day-old. A chop suey from a favorite neighborhood bakery. If you treat me nicely, I’ll tell you about this dream pastry. 🙂 ---

Now a big question is if we all like milk with so many foods, how come almost no restaurants serve it? At McDs you can get it in small cartons. In some places you can order it but you never hear about refills and I’ve never seen a high class restaurant offering it when it goes well with deserts. ---

> [@Chisquirrel](#): > > Chocolate cake. In the glass. Yes. Well, not exactly, but I do have to pour milk over chocolate (and other) cake in a bowl. Even moist cake is somehow too dry without a milk soak. Graham crackers can only be eaten in a bowl with milk poured over them. (Or as a cheesecake crust, but that’s a different subject.)

I’ve seen it on many a restaurant menu, both here and in the US. Maybe it’s just that people aren’t ordering it? Except maybe for breakfast. ---

> [@Siam\_Sam](#): > > I’ve seen it on many a restaurant menu, both here and in the US. Maybe it’s just that people aren’t ordering it? Except maybe for breakfast. Adults are apt to order it for their kids’ meals, while opting for coffee, tea, or a soft drink for themselves. I drink lots of milk at home, but honestly cannot remember the last time I ordered it for myself in a restaurant. Maybe it’s because the glasses are too small and they’re overpriced. ---
