If I can add one question: Full fat or low fat?

Low fat

Anyone familiar with Quark? :o) It’s waaay more delicious than CC, especially those with lower fat content. THere’s semi-fat version, usually 16-17 grams of protein, 6-7 grams of fat and 3-4 grams of carbs in 100 grams. The semi-fat tastes quite sour, and usually quite grainy in consistency.

On the other hand one can always get low-fat Quark from Aldi or Spar, and those are the best ones in my opinion. Perhaps because of their low-fat content (ranging from 0.2 grams per 100 grams up to 3-4 grams) they have a natural sweet taste, they tend to be creamy (like yogurt, but way more heavier) and has 12-15 grams of protein per 100 grams, and only 3-4 grams of carbs.

I expect the German Guys here to be familiar with the thing, as all of the good-quality quark either comes from Germany or Austria. In fact, the almost all of the best quality dairy originates from those two countries, not to mention, that those two brands what I’ve mentioned earlier are both in the property of some German.

God, if there’s a reason why I love that country, then it’s their cars, supermarkets and Horst Fuchs :o) Cheapest natty oats, veggies, meat, dairy, incredible range of calorie-free beverages, VW, Audi, Benz (I hate the Bavarian Blue-White Band), WS Teleshop. Ahh, almost every good thing in the world is German, too bad that their language is impossible to be learnt, at least for me. :smiley:

now, excuse my off-topic post, just thought about what would happen to my diet without Germans :P<

Vejne, the quark I’ve tried I haven’t been able to get a taste for. But I am in Canada and I’m told it’s crap compared to what is available in Europe. I wanted to like it though!

Ha I’m actually eating some right now. I am really trying to get use to this stuff :<

Mixing with a strong flavoured yogurt nearly takes the taste and texture away I find. Plus you are adding more protein and good bacteria this way as well.
