definitely just go to the deli and buy a small carton/bottle. it's a nice cool drink.

Hmmmm.....



Maybe I should give it a try...

Kefir is hugely popular in Eastern Europe. The only thing I guess you're worrying about is the taste - its slightly sour, but thats what makes it so good and unique. In worst case scenario, you can adjust that with additives/sweeteners.

I think that if you like yoghurt, you'll be fine with kefir. Yoghurt is thicker though. Although North American yoghurts have tons of sugar in them so you dont often get the real yoghurt taste.

Yoghurt > kefir.

I feel sick, wish i didn't watch this. This is the time i wish i lived in the US, so i could go and meet these guys and do what they did to these poor animals. They wouldn't be laughing or standing put it that way.

Karma, it's a great thing

Originally posted by Abercrombie I've never tried this before... it intriques me.... is it an aquired taste? Is it like buttermilk? Do you drink it straight or mixed with something like Ribena or something? I have tried that fermented bread-crumb crouton pop you folks like (I forget the name)... and I was ok until about 1/2 the 2L bottle I got, and it stayed in the fridge for a week. I'd have it again, but not 2L worth. So is this Kefir something I can just go out to the Russian deli that's 2 blocks away from me, but a small portion, and like it just like that, or is it something that's better tried in the company of my Russian speaking friends to truly appreciate it?

magnetonium basically answered it for you, its sour tasting but in terms of health benefits it is pretty amazing.
i also prefer ryazhenka, it is sold at those russian stores as well, i recommend you try it, it is pretty tasty and probably my fav milk drink although it is not as good as kefir in health.

Yeah, Eastern Europeans are masters of milk products

Dont remember what matsoni tastes like, it was long time ago. Ryazhenka makes some REALLY AMAZING cookies and cakes. Although I cant drink it on its own, warm milk is very unappetizing to me.

Originally posted by love_child Be warned: this video is not for the faint of heart, especially if you�re an animal lover. The footage comes from Conklin Dairy Farms in Ohio, where hidden cameras caught workers cruelly and mercilessly abusing cows and calves. I think people should know where the milk that they drink comes from. What the fuck is wrong with people???

I'm glad that a cow is a sacred animal in India - I'm not from there, but I'm glad that there is at least one country where historically cows were not slaughtered or abused, but were respected and allowed to live out their lives freely.

In my opinion, it's okay to raise cows for milk and milk products (I myself stopped eating beef, as well as pork, more than ten years ago and I don't miss it at all, I also don't buy leather products), but NOT in circumstances where it entails unnecessary cruelty and abuse. How sad that some people are uncaring and indifferent about this...

There are so many of them... which one should I choose?

I wish they had a smaller size to sample.

It's the only kind they carry... also the one I tried last year for the first time. I guess I have to try others! I do want to note, it HAS to be served COLD. I despised the bottom half of my tall boy.

Ryazhenka is the way to go Aj

man I need to re-stock on all the ruski foods
