I recently grossed myself out by wondering if you could make a doner sandwich in a donut, just for the naming possibilities, and now I'm afraid to google it.

Dear lord. This is OG German Lidl's, I'm guessing?

I went to a Lidl's for the first time this weekend, and while they had some interesting finds, nothing like that.

Are those just bologna loaves (tubes? what is a single unit of unsliced bologna called) with sauteed onions shoved into them? Because that sounds great

Totally unrelated to Iron Brew pork, but why do certain successful threads get closed? Like the Shauedenfraud thread just got closed, but why? It's actually popular, and older threads no one ever posts in for years still persist, what is even going on?

For all the garbage pizza chains, I'm honestly kinda surprised that Pizza Hut is your hill to die on. Especially considering they're not terrible.

Kazakhstan, a vast and sparsely populated nation in Central Asia, is growing its camel herds by mating two-humped and one-humped camels, producing hybrids that are hardy to cold like Bactrian breeds, while producing copious milk like dromedaries.

Demand for the animals is driven by the improbable rise in popularity of a fermented camel milk drink known as shubat. It also stems from a push by the government to develop agriculture and diversify the economy away from oil; the Kazakh Ministry of Agriculture provides loans to farmers to expand the hybrid herds.

Shubat, the fermented camel milk drink, is prized for being highly probiotic, not to mention a little bit alcoholic.

“If you let the milk sit for two weeks it becomes shubat all by itself,” Ms. Uteniyazova, the milkmaid, said cheerily. The milk is said to “stand up” and become the drink as it fizzes and curdles.

For longtime shubat drinkers, determining the number of humps on the camel that produced the milk is easy, because Bactrian milk is more fatty than dromedary milk. The closer the hybrid to Bactrian, the richer the milk. Which is better is a question of taste.

“This is not so good,” complained Sakin Murabayev, a bus driver at a highway rest stop in western Kazakhstan where shubat is served, after downing a pint and wiping the milky mustache from his upper lip. He preferred, he said, milk from breeds closer to Bactrian.

To be sure, a glass of shubat of any type, with its sour tang and mysterious globs of milk fat, can be difficult for the uninitiated to get down. But it is undeniably popular in Kazakhstan, creating demand for the crossbred camel herds.

Mr. Murabayev offered advice on storing the drink. “If you leave it out, it will start to bubble and you cannot drink it,” he said.

But rather than throwing it out, this extra-ripe shubat can be blended with fresh camel milk, thus yielding more shubat after a few days. “Then you can drink it.”

Dr Pepper is my drink of choice when booze isn't available, but I may try this when the temperature drops below 50, because what if it's actually good?
