Just call it kedgeree!

We'll wait, what are you calling 'curry'? Because British kedgeree (as kedgeree is) is distinct from what any Briton I know would call 'curry' - even given the disservice we do India by calling almost everything 'curry' - and further distinct even from khicadi (खिचड़ी) from which it takes its name, and moves to breakfast. Sorry, I know you were just joking.

You can use oat milk.

If you want your coffee to taste like oatmeal, yes.

Personally I much perfer oat milk coffee than cow milk coffee, maybe depends on the brand? I'm using Karma brand from Switzerland's COOP.

I'm Italian, and completely lactose intolerant (since four years). We don't drink it after 11pm because cappuccino is essentially a breakfast drink and that's all. Asking for it in some places at the wrong time automatically define you as a foreigner and/or maybe a weird customer. Asking for a caffè macchiato is a different story, you can have it whenever you want, and it's quite common. If you're lactose intolerant ask for soy (more available) or almond milk (less available) for your cappuccino/macchiato, they are available almost everywhere.

I guess most people use it for getting access to content restricted for different region in video streaming services. When you consider person that regularly watches Youtube they might be interested.

Do you have an example of such a video?

Tons of Netflix content available in the US but not outside, for example.

I do not buy the conclusions in this video. For a couple of reasons. First off, anecdote. I myself am severely lactose intolerant, which I inherited genetically. I have lived in Italy and know Italians pretty well, and in my experience lactose intolerance is so unusual in Italy that people are often amazed to hear of my condition. Lactase (Lactaid etc.) is quite rare in the country, so much so that I usually bring in…

I'm Italian and yes most Italians don't know what lactose intollerance is but when I went vegan (for the animals) I suggested veg milk to people and you will be surprised by how many of them felt better, they didn't know they are lactose intollerant and many of them didn't even realized they had a problem. Who could imagine a headache can be caused by milk?

Headache from milk can come from the Vitamine A. You do need to drink about 2L of milk a day. I know this anecdotally, I head lots of headaches around the age of 21 :)

I’m gonna drop my $.02 in here because I am SEVERELY lactose intolerant and would like to discuss with someone else who is lactose intolerant. (This comment is unrelated to the video) I usually use 2-4 lactaid capsules when eating dairy and sometimes 8 when it’s some super cheesy pizza or something. I live in the United States. I visited Italy last year, and I ate a lot of ice cream, cheesy pastas, and pizzas without…

Some differences that might play a role, but I have no real idea.

In the Netherlands cheap supermarket pizzas often have more fake cheese than real cheese. I can imagine that might mean less lactose, but maybe something in the fake cheese is giving you problems.

In the Netherlands most milk is pasteurized. I can imagine this is the case in the US too. In the Netherlands there is a special protected branding of cheese that is not pasteurized (boerenkaas). Pasteurizing milk reduces the calcium level. I can imagine Italians might prefer using unpasteurized milk products more than people in other countries.
