ahhh, then i take it you've never had kumis ... it's, shall we say,
"interesting". having sampled it in the past (always try something
at least once) i'll politely decline and pop open a guiness if i want
something to drink and have the option of choice.
though the fermentation process sound suspiciously like a very old
suggested ansteorran party game - "mongol in the bag" (you would
have had to have been there about Steppes Warlord I and the stories
that arouse from certain incidents to understand .... grin)
