I bought a bottle of kefir from the natural food section at Fred's. I would be much more okay with it if 1. it didn't have chunks -- not enough to make it chunky, just to make small noises when it goes from the container to the drinking receptacle and 2. if it didn't taste ever so slightly off, in that way that makes some hard-wired caveman impulse think "This isn't going to kill me, right? It's sold in stores, so it probably shouldn't. But I still wonder."

Um. I've never heard of this before, but I read the wiki entry, and as much as I hate to say this about something I've never even seen in real life, let alone tried . . . ew. It genuinely sounds really gross.

It's actually not as frightful as it looks on Wikipedia--it's sanitized for western consumption, I think. I bought a strawberry flavored bottle, so it's kind of like soupy yogurt with barely perceptible chunks.

The sanitation for western consumption makes sense; but I even hate Yop. Drinkable yogurt frightens me. The fact that you - with very likely more refined tastebuds than I - think it tastes a teeny bit off even though it isn't makes me want to brillo my tongue. *wince*

Thick kefir is the best one, actually (I can't drink the really chunky one and drinking the really thin one is rather pointless because it's got no real taste to it) xD
