Which type of plant-based milk is best?

As an avid cow milk drinker (consume it daily with oats/muesli) switching to plant milk was easy. Cow milk tastes richer and more flavourful though. But I enjoy the wheat(?) and spelt(?) based milk also rice,coconut and soy. For some reason the almond and cashew ones taste a bit weird to me.

It's been great to learn that cow milk can be substituted so easily, still get it sometimes for the taste though.

Have you tried oat milk? The Oatly full fat version is very rich, almost too rich for my taste, but it works well as a creamer substitute.

Have you substituted butter out too?

For cooking in most things the taste is generally better (unless you're trying to make a buttery croissant) and there's no impact on quality.

I do find it hard to substitute out eggs though.

I think aquafaba can be used in baking (I don't cook but that sounds right) and JUST Egg, if you want to eat eggs. I have pet chickens, they scatter eggs about. Sometimes we eat them and sometimes we feed them to them (they lose a lot of nutrients making eggs and we don't want chicks). It's a pretty harmless way to get eggs and they get to live a full life (we don't eat them).
