I love kefirOh, you've just made me think. Maybe this thing is similar to kefir. I didn't understand what @Agonum was talking about but now I'm sort of getting it. Kefir is not commonly used in the UK, though. It's still very niche and you wouldn't use it on cereal. On muesli, maybe on porridge but not cereal.
We seem to have two types in the UK. One is slightly thinner and drinkable. The other is ever so slightly thicker but still a lot thinner than most types of yoghurt. It has a sharp, tangy flavour. Very different to yoghurt, even the plain type (which is the only type I eat). Obviously it doesn't originate in the UK. Offhand, I can't remember where it came from.We may have a different kefir. It's very different from yogurt, it has a strong fermented milk flavor, it's liquid, and it's drinkable.
This is why I love it. It's not easy to make at home, though. Bc of needing the bacteria. I just buy it.Kefir is also a fermented milk product, but its origin is unique in its own way. Kefir is the result of two types of fermentation at once - fermentation and alcoholic fermentation. Lactobacillus bacteria are responsible for the former, while the latter is the so-called "kefir grain" - special fungal cultures that resemble boiled rice in appearance.
omigosh! I couldn't do that. Sugar would spoil the tangy kefir flavour.I love kefirbut I don't mix it with anything except sugar))))
)))) expected this effect, but sometimes I like to drink it with a little sugar.omigosh! I couldn't do that. Sugar would spoil the tangy kefir flavour.
Even eating it with banana doesn't work for me although blueberries are quite good.
