What's so special about the Balkan "jogurt"...

What's so special about the Balkan "jogurt"? Is it just watered-down yogurt or is there some other reason they can drink it instead of eating it with a spoon? What does it taste like? Why do Greeks eat normal Turk yogurt instead of Slav yogurt?

dunno

it's like a drink you eat to wash out that taste you get in your mouth after you eat something insanely greasy like burek

i don't know what geek yogurt is like but the spoon variant here is called sour milk

yogurt is Greek

but you're not.

prove it

There is no such thing as "Balkan" yogurt. The original recipe is Greek, but the bacteria that makes real yogurt is found only in the air of Bulgaria. The bacteria is called "bacilicus bulgaricus" and cannot be synthetically made.

The reason why its not more popular is because there is an embargo on the yogurt and its almost impossible to find it outside of Bulgarian and other Balkan stores.

It's the juice, man.

The closest thing to balkan yogurt in taste is homemade kefir. I make my own and its great stuff.

Some retards will may believe this.

shush, they don't have to know that.

you mean yogurt?
supposedly as said, it's the "bacilicus bulgaricus" stuff
other than that it's likely made differently in factories, also you can find it home made

>Is it just watered-down yogurt or is there some other reason they can drink it instead of eating it with a spoon
you can't drink it unless you shake it a lot, what you have in that pic is not yugort, it's aйpян (airian), which is basically watered down yogurt, usually home made with regular shop yogurt. some people add salt to it etc
>What does it taste like
very tasty water? kind of salty and thicker (inb4 cum jokes)
>Why do Greeks eat normal Turk yogurt instead of Slav yogurt?
there are disputes about the origins of many foods in the balkans, and you can prepare them differently and with different materials, i'm not aware of any specific national / ethnic differances tho

fyi, if you put small chucks of cucumber in the arian it become tarator (also again you add diff spices)

history wise i've heard warriors / fighters were given similar food after battle (same with shkembe churba)
