While most would prefer to see cockroaches squashed on the back of a shoe, the creepy critters may soon be popping up on cafe menus across the nation.

Cockroach milk could become a new addition to the superfood craze, with food-conscious Australians opting for a dairy alternative in their morning coffee.

The cockroach crystals, which contain the milk, 'are like a complete food' with 'all the essential amino acids', a researcher from the Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine in India has claimed.

I bet you need tiny fingers to milk a cockroach.

[Suzanimal]

That's nasty.

Have you ever smelled mothballs?

How'd you get their tiny legs apart?

Yes

They fly with their legs open. duh.

*SIGH*

If this is what people want, they ought to knock themselves out, then.

I agree. I don't give a crap if some weirdo wants to drink roach milk as long as they leave me alone.

Yeah it will probably be the 'new trend' at Starbucks.

Roach milk doesn't sound appealing. I wonder if they'll call it cock milk, lol.

[Suzanimal]

I'll have a Grande Cock Milk Latte.

What could possibly go wrong?

Cock-n-Bull energy drink.

...the more cow's milk for me.

you can almost bet that some taxpayer money will be spent researching or promoting this bound for failure idea though.

...the more cow's milk for me.

After trying all the different milks in my coffee, I've settled on Almond milk. I hit it with my Ikea frother (I think dannno turned me onto that thing) and it gets really thick and creamy. I get the unsweetened and it's only 30 calories a cup. I use a lot of cream. When I was using half & half, I bet each cup of coffee was 100 calories. I drink my coffee out of big cups.

I actually like the taste of cashew milk the best but for some reason, it doesn't froth.

lol

In fact, Gwyneth Paltrow's food and lifestyle website Goop included roaches in their animal milk guide.

'As might be expected, the process of 'milking' a cockroach is precise and laborious,' the website stated.

I bet taxpayer money has already been spent on this cock milk. I can't imagine some rich guy or gal thinking that cockroach milk would be a sound investment and putting up money to research it.

Researchers said it 'tasted like cow's milk' and contains 'all essential amino acids'

10 FILTHY FACTS ABOUT COCKROACHES

Silly trolly news is silly and trolly. Experts also said we would be driving around in jetpacks and flying vehicles by 2000. The biggest problem with cockroach milk (if you can believe an organism without mammary glands can produce milk) is that human beings are used to cow milk. Goat milk, soy milk, almond milk etc etc never took off as a challenger to cow's milk because it all tastes different from cow milk. And even if you believe cockroach milk tasted exactly like cow's milk, it has to come in the same colour, texture, consistence and a memory eraser.

And god forbid, someone finds a brown particle in their milk and you are looking at lawsuit. I would come now and predict that cockroach's milk is going to be a bigger flop than Sony's betamax and nobody reading this today will be alive long enough to buy this product off their local grocery shelf.

Try pea milk. Just asking for it can be fun. http://www.cookinglight.com/eating-s...at-is-pea-milk

What Our Editors Said

“Not a terrible taste. Somewhat chalky, but would go nicely in cereal.
“It tastes like dry flour, but it grows on you.”
“Tasted similar to uncooked flour with an aftertaste that was mildly bitter.”
“Nope. Nope, nope, nope.”

Yes, it's funny to say "pea milk" out loud. Let's all pause here to get all of those very mature pea milk jokes out of your system. Shall we carry on?

The biggest brand in pea milk thus far has been Ripple Foods, a company that obtained US$44 million (NZ$60m) from Google and Silicon Valley venture capitalists, according to Bloomberg.

But it's about to get competition from Bolthouse Farms, the Campbell's-owned brand that is releasing its own line of pea milks this month.

The milk will soon be available in United States grocery stores including Kroger, Shaw's, Publix and Safeway's eastern division.

It comes in four flavours. Original, which is creamy and lightly sweetened' unsweetened, which has an earthier flavour; and kid-friendly vanilla and chocolate, which taste just like milkshakes.

Pea milk doesn't taste like peas, and it's not made in the same way almond milk is, by soaking in water.

At Bolthouse Farms, it begins with harvesting yellow peas and milling them into flour. That flour is processed, separating the pea protein from the fibre and starch. The pea protein is further purified and blended together with water and other ingredients, including sunflower oil and sea salt, as well as vitamins such as B12.

"There's some taste trade-offs and some calcium trade-offs and most certainly protein trade-offs with all the alternative milks on the market," said Suzanne Ginestro, the company's chief marketing and innovation officer. Consumers "shouldn't have to compromise on those three things."

The Bolthouse Farms' milks have 10 grams of protein per serving, as compared to one gram in many almond milks.

It has more calcium than dairy milk. It is fortified with 110 per cent of a consumer's daily requirement for B12, which came out of consumer research that "found that vegetarians have a very difficult time getting sources of B12," which is found naturally in animal products, Ginestro said.

And environmentally, pea milk "has a much lower water footprint than growing almonds, and a much smaller carbon footprint than raising dairy cows."

That is simply not true. Dairy milk has been steadily declining for years, and nondairy milk sales are soaring.

I think the reason for that is because of the popularity of the Internet, you can no longer hide what is going on. Who wants to drink the secretions of an abused, exploited animal that is pumped with antibiotics, and often has infections which means the milk you drink has a certain amount of pus in it? (And that is legally allowed.)

You keep bringing up stuff like this, but it's not really fair to organic and small farmers dedicated to cruelty-free, antibiotic-free products to make such generalizations.

Exactly. People should be free to drink roach milk if that's what they want to do, as long as it's been pasteurized obviously.

Palmetto milk.

Folks around here would know what Palmetto milk is but a lot of the country wouldn't get it. Mr A had no idea what a Palmetto bug was and imagine his surprise the first time he saw the giant roach flying.

Actually, even on the small farms the baby calfs are taken away from the mothers on day one or day two of their life. That is cruel to both the mother and the baby. IMO there's something deeply wrong – evil, even – with stealing a baby from his mother and denying that baby both the nurturing and milk that was intended for him.

They do that for the health of the calf who still continues to receive the milk of its mother.
