Peanut Milk, Historical Uses

Peanutmilk was once used as a whiped topping;
"Abstract: Using a rotatable design for two factors, 13 formulations of whipped topping were prepared containing 40% peanut milk as a source of protein. Whipped toppings were subjected to sensory evaluation using descriptive analysis. Color, overrun, viscosity and syneresis were analysed. Peanut-based whipped toppings were generally white and glossy with slightly stiff foam and fine, uniform air cells. There were significant differences in foam stiffness, uniformity of size of air cells and sweetness of various topping formulations. The physicochemical characteristics of formulated peanut-based whipped toppings were similar to those of commercially available whipped toppings." Copyright 1993, 1999 Academic

Some hint that peanut milk is a miracle cure.

Canadian researchers published facts about peanut milk used as a coffee whitener. There is little information presented to provide an understanding their defintition of "their" version of peanut milk. (Institute of Food Technologists, Chicago, IL, ETATS-UNIS (1961) (Revue))

It’s the Great Peanut, Charlie Brown

"The story goes like this. Jack Chang, who along with his wife Margaret owns a tiny burger joint/coffee shop called the KK Cafe, loved peanuts. But due to chronic gum disease he was unable to chew them, so he set about making a drink that would enable him to enjoy his peanuts in convenient liquid form. It took him months to get the recipe just right, but being a frugal person he felt obliged to drink all the failed batches. As he consumed increasing amounts of this concoction, he noticed that he felt more energetic, his allergies cleared up, and his gums returned to health. He even stopped losing his hair. There could be no other explanation than his peanut drink—well, that and God, but I’m getting ahead of myself—so the couple began recommending the stuff to all of their customers suffering from various kinds of ailments. Sure enough, this person’s arthritis went away, that person’s skin rash healed, and soon testimonials were pouring in and word began to spread that the Changs had invented a cure-all in the form of a tasty peanut drink.

What Chang calls “peanut milk” is a nondairy product made primarily from ground peanuts and water, with some sugar, other grains, and a few herbs and spices. Interestingly, it tastes almost exactly like a mixture of ground peanuts, water, and sugar—which is to say, in my humble opinion, kind of gross. It was all I could do to get through a single 8-oz. (240ml) bottle—and remember, I’m speaking as a peanut lover here. Other people clearly differ in their opinion of the flavor, consuming, in some cases, several quarts per day. Or perhaps they’re too enthusiastic about its supposed health benefits to concern themselves with taste. In all fairness, it does certainly taste much better than, for example, a mixture of cough syrup, castor oil, and spirulina, to pick three ingredients completely at random..."
