I can only drink milk in western Europe and New Zealand. There are a few countries I haven't visited; yet. However. The majority have, to me, vile excuses for milk. It's either UHT or some weird goats milk. Far from fresh and local.
I think American milk has more to do with Americans preferring coffee; over tea. Than the Boston tea party has. It makes everything taste strange. Fresh shakes, cereal, fresh yoghourt, coffee, tea, ice cream.
Do people from outside western Europe notice this when they visit?
