[@susanmoretz4808]

@@anthyavila9726 true that, i always do that as well when I wake up every morning but ill never do meditating shit because its really boring and a waste of time just sitting there. Fpr me meditation is when you walk by the side of the ocean at 5 to 6 am and smell the salty sweet smell of the wind and feel its cold breeze brush off your face. And on the afternoon taking a small stroll by the woods and checking the view out atop a small hill. That's what I found relaxing. Though in places such as the cities, I usually hang on restaurants situated in higher altitudes and staring at the sun. In the before and before sunset. Getting to feel that new morning sunshine just feels different than meditating. It's just my opinion tho but I guess growing around with nature just gives you that natural meditative state. Because even in those moments you just stare blankly with zero thoughts in mind. Kinda like booting up for a new day.

[@ReyOfLight]

I live in Sweden, and some years ago we’d have Icelandic Skyr available in the supermarket. I bought it sometimes because I generally like yoghurt and it’s good for you, and Skyr was actually pretty nice. I haven’t seen it for a long time now though so seems it got discontinued for one reason or another, quite possibly it couldn’t keep up with the competition against quark which is immensely popular here as a more protein rich alternative to yoghurt

[@Anna-pj8te]

It’s the opposite in Norway. Skyr is really popular and quark is kind of not.

[@sh1yo7]

In Germany Skyr just started popping up in supermarkets during the last couple of years. It seems fairly popular. Interesting how things are in other countries

This is simply curd cheese, in fact using cloth bags is the traditional method for many centuries!!

[@nienke7713]

In the Netherlands we have something similar called hangop (literally "hang up") where we drain yoghurt or buttermilk in a cheesecloth or clean tea towel, typically hung by binding the four corners of the cloth together; it's often eaten as a simple dessert with some (preserved) fruit or a fruit syrup. You can buy commercial versions, but it's also really easy to make at home from yoghurt or buttermilk (which also gives you control on whether you want to make a skim version similar to skyr by using buttermilk or fat-free yoghurt, or a semi-skim or full-fat version using low-fat or full-fat yoghurt), you just need to make sure you start well in advance due to the large amount of (passive) time it requires.

I think "faisselle" in France is also similar.

[@zeoarmada8650]

@@bubupowa6205 " Faisselle " or " Fromage Frais " is a cheese because it contains Rennet in addition to Lactic Ferments, meanwhile this product Skyr is made from strained yoghurt, in France you can use " Fromage blanc" which is concentrated yoghurt to prepare Skyr or Labneh by straining it using a white cotton textile similar to what appears in video.

I get it locally in Pennsylvania. It is Icelandic Provisions Skyr brand. You can by it plain or flavored, low fat,

[@CocinaConDaniyMel]

@@bpp325 thank you for the info sir🤩

[@ggoddkkiller1342]

This is simply curd cheese, in fact using cloth bags is the traditional method for many centuries!! While in Turkey, Greece etc they are drained more so the finish product looks and tastes more like cheese but not really again as becuase it is made from previously used milk it tastes pretty plain. But people like it for it's extremely low fat content and consume it as a diet product...

[@MonMon-vy8cb]

After i watch some Iceland food documentary, from shark meat to baking in hotspring and this, one thing i can confirm, they are awesome. They all possess a character that you can sit and talk all day.

[@bpp325]

Icelandic skyr is like eating ice cream without the guilt of sugar. I make the skyr at home in my instant pot regularly, strain it for cheese-like texture. I get an 8 oz container at the market and use it as the starter. If it's an heirloom starter, you can make the skyr forever and only have to buy the milk to continue the process.👍

[@melissakibler4966]

I thought i saw skyr cultures for sale? I make yogurt with my raw jersey cow milk but the only difference is skyr is made with skim milk? Is that correct? Thanks

[@andreasmith8213]

I know this comment is forever old, but if you find this, could you provide how you make skyr in the instant pot? I've only seen stove top directions and would love to make it in the instant pot. Thank you!

In India we call this as Shrikhand. Very popular in Gujarat and Maharashtra and also many other states. We have flavours like saffron, cardamom, pistachio, and many many other flavours. Yummy 😋

[@KokkiePiet]

In the Netherlands we have something similar, “hangop” which means Hang it up. You take a cheesecloth and line a bowl with it. You then fill the bowl with yoghurt. You tie the cheesecloth together like a sack with a piece of string and hang it up with the bowl underneath it. Leave it for hours. The liquid pours out, and you have a thick mass. My mother used to make it now and then, it was/is a traditional dessert in the Netherlands. I notice that this guy doesn’t add rennet to the milk, only a starter culture of lactic acid bacteria, so it is basically a yogurt as well

[@fredericlaurens4332]

I believe the typical culture for skyr actually contains both lactic acid bacteria and yeast.

[@xeniadono]

You are absolutely correct, it has yeast.

[@KokkiePiet]

@@fredericlaurens4332 when its made traditionally by hand you are likely to have wild yeasts in it. But the industrial product you buy doesn't. The milk is pasteurized before processing it further.

[@guiyong]

- It's just a nice, thick, creamy yoghurt. - There is no cream in it. A choice of words that was very poor to describe the hard work leading to this traditional, unique milk product.

I first tried Skyr 20 years ago in Iceland. We had it for a mid-day snack mixed with frozen wild berries our host family had harvested from the countryside in the summer. Super good and filling! I also tried aged shark and dried fish and it was actually quite nice. I love how skyr has become really popular here in Denmark in the last 10 years, because its super high in protein and low in fat and you can add any flavor to it.

[@playonce4186]

Looking at that delicious cream flowing down makes me so happy!

[@IdgaradLyracant]

For those that haven't had it, it's got a consistency similar to cake frosting. Thicker than typical yogurt. Also try (going to type it phonetically) Threw-Ster (ÞRISTUR) Think of a Sugar Daddy with licorice flavoring. Also breakfast at the Grey Cat is a must.

[@zuzannawesierska55]

The moment she said, it tasted like yoghurt and he responded "BUT THERE IS NO CREAM" - it's me every single time someone says "I like icelandic type of yoghurt" and I go with my lecture about how skyr is NOT a yoghurt, and then after that comes all my frustration about quark and cottage cheese xd

[@usern2842]

Well the way you make it is almost identical to the way you make yogurt, I make yogurt all the time from scratch and it’s literally identical except the bagging and draining part. So I don’t think anyone is to blame by saying it’s similar to yogurt, because it really is pretty comparable
