cereal is one of those super precarious foods that has to be eaten right now in order to be enjoyable. it's really nice under very specific circumstances. other, more forgiving breakfast compositions: -granola, with either milk or yogurt -oatmeal, at least during the first half of the eating experience while it's still nicely warm -fruit crumble with milk, which is to say pseudo-granola with pseudo-pie filling and milk (A++) brb gonna speed-eat some cheerios
Granola+fruit+greek yogurt is perf. Also who here has tried and liked kiefer? I adore it. It's like yogurt drink but tangier than even greek yogurt and it's pleasant on my tongue 0u0
Drinkable yogurt is a slightly horrifying idea to me, but I more or less made my peace with it that night I had to unexpectedly start a course of antibiotics and it was the only yogurt the 7-11 sold. I cannot deny the drinkable yogurt because it was there for me in my hour of greatest need.
Not True. Kefir is literally ancient. It's just that yogurt manufacturing companies were patting themselves on the back for figuring out how to market the batches of yogurt that didn't turn out right (sometimes it just doesn't set. The end result is edible, but never gets the proper thickness). Kefir is not precisely yogurt, but they're both fermented milk products. It's tart, tangy and slightly carbonated from the fermenting process. Described as "effervescent". It's thicker than milk, tastes like yogurt, but there's is extra texture sensory input that makes it really pleasant to me. As @devils-avocado put, it's super refreshing!
Ah no, misleading wording. I mean that here, where i live, thin drinkable yogurt (actual yogurt) was popular before kefir got brought by turkish and middle eastern immigrants and became popular. So not that it didn´t exist at all, but it wasn´t know widely here.
I think kefir has always been A Thing in the US but it was mostly within the little hippie communities, and not broadly well known, and certainly not widely commercially available until sometime in the 2000's when the whole green revolution started taking off. I've seen old articles on motherearthnews.com about making your own that were from the 80's at least. Now I can buy it pretty much anywhere that sells groceries. Still want to make my own when I get goats tho.
HAH, this is from an article from 1981. Emphasis mine. "You can usually find plain kefir in health food stores (it sells for about 65¢ per eight-ounce carton)." Different fuckin' times, man.
oh yeah definitely, I love standard 'drinkable yogurt' as well but it always has a bit too much sugar for me. I know kefir isn't technically drinkable yogurt, but I think of it that way as part of the 'awesome drinks I like' category :P
...Someday I want to try deep-fried butter, literally I'm caught between revulsion and longing whenever I think about it. Never been to a State Fair, but probably Colorado is too uppity and healthy to allow that sort of thing. That's the sort of horrible food quest that probably requires travel.
Ah yes, Wyoming, enable my horrible health choices. I've never even had a fried oreo before. Give me all the awful, deep-fried things. ...except kool aid, for some reason that one bothers me
wyoming is horrible in...most regards, really, but frontier days and the state fair are excellent at fried shit!
