You Ate What...?

I just remembered that I was also supposed to do a thing on kefir, a drinkable yogurt, as a request of a friend. I typically do not drink anything more creamy than 2% milk, but I like a challenge obviously. Probably one of the healthier things I've had in my life Kefir is technically a fermented milk drink. It's described in all the things I read as "bubbly" but it's not any more bubbly than milk. I drank the vanilla flavor because the idea of plain anything doesn't quite sit well with my mental stomach (just like sour cream and mayo). It has a tang, like yogurt. I can drink a glass and feel fine about it after, but it would probably not be my first choice of drink. In my list of "yogurts" I would probably put it about the level of Greek-style yogurt, below skyr and above the artificial sweet of "regular."

I like to eat yogurt. Typically I'd eat things like Yoplait or Stonyfield. I have great memories of custard-style lemon yogurt from my childhood. So, we decided to try every type of yogurt we could find in the surrounding area. Boring old yogurt Regular yogurt: I like this okay. It's milky and a bit creamy, comes in lots of flavors and has good health benefits, but often has artificial ingredients that I don't really like. Plain yogurt is sour, but the flavors that are usually added cover the sour flavor with sweet. It also comes in containers to make it easier for kids to eat, like gogurt (dressed up almost like an ice pop) or, as they serve it in my school, in containers the kids can crunch up. This is found pretty much anywhere and has been around a long time. I liked the whipped kinds when I was younger, but they have been replaced by "thick and creamy" kinds which are almost more like custard than the honey-thick of typical yogurt. Look, honey in...
