Either the yoghurt milkshake that is arabic (sorry, don't know if it's
documentable), or Almond milk.

Fill your swans with fresh curds or fresh ricotta you make yourself from
whole milk. Fresh or green cheese or curds certainly are documentable. Mix
in some fresh herbs---dill and chives work very well together. Another good

I'd be worried that your whole table would look, well, bland. Remember,
