Do we have to call it pea milk though?

No. In fact, I hope the manufacturers store it in testicle-shaped bottles.
I only drink golden showers brand
Essence of pea

I already don't call it that.
No, we should call it pea mammry fluid from a different species.

It’s not really milk.
We should just call it pea. Already reminds us of a liquid.
Ahh yes give me your finest cup of pea.
Tea sir, what kind may I ask?
Heather, scum. I said pea... Do you not understand?
I love drinking pea
Try showering in it. The experience is golden.
It's great if you can handle its pea-ness.
My kids love drinking pea.
This is exactly the reference I was making
Decades later I still have to say this, in an Orson Welles voice, any time I'm cooking with peas.
You aren't going to pea in my milk!
I tried pea milk for the first time a couple of weeks back, albeit it was chocolate flavored. It was pretty good and is a good alternative to water-hungry almond milk.

Well of course. Peas are a lot smaller than cows and will eat and fart a lot less.
Oat milk is pretty good. I recently switched over to it from soy milk and it's high in calcium and all the other nutrients. Very creamy.
Edit: damn that's batshit crazy, I should give pea milk a try.
Here's the comparison table of the nutrients in the article
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10504201/table/Tab2/
Does it have qualities that would make it useful replacement in cooking and baking, or is it a drink alternative? The archive link isn't working for me, so sorry if this is in the article. I'm really curious.
Or the real question, does it make cheese?
Don't. Please.
What's the comparative energy usage for the production process?
I had some pea chocolate milk and it was pretty okay. Think almond and oat taste better but it's not the worse (that's soy).
Almond and Oat have that "nutty" taste that works well with chocolate.
i find oat curdles a little bit when used in hot drinks though. Personally, i'm a soy boy
I've had pea milk, doesn't seem too rare in the UK. It was nice enough, maybe slightly watery compared to oat (my go to) but that could just have been the brand.
The comparisions are interesting, but also kind of demonstrate the futility of debating between plant based milks. There's a clear worst candidate here, and it isn't plant based. If your thinking of switching, choose your favourite, soy might be the second worst but it's significantly less than half the emmisions of cow milk.

Hell yeah, give peas a chance!
My fiance has food allergies, including dairy & tree nuts (like almonds). Once she discovered pea milk she started making mashed potatoes again. It turns out coconut milk doesn't make a great choice. I don't remember why she doesn't like soy milk.
It's an ...acquired taste
Yeah if people want this to catch on you can't call it pea milk.
Peas are a type of pulse. So let's call it pulse milk that sounds a lot more appetizing :>
Peas are just seeds, so call it seed milk.
we don't have data for its water usage though?
The colour of it makes me feel a bit noxious. Maybe I shouldn't have eaten that candy snake I found in my jacket pocket just before jumping into bed.
Do you mean nauseous?
Yes. I was relying on autocorrect to help me out and after not finding the correct spelling after half a dozen attempts I gave up in favour of whatever that word I used is. I am on my side, half asleep.

This seems to show that coconut milk is better and uses barely any water. Also, it's coconut milk, which is lovely.
