My coworker just told me it's her favorite. Apparently, if you like the flavor of kefir or salty lassi or parmesan chips or yogurt drops, you might also like these.

Just be prepared for them to be hard - “as hard as iron slag” isn’t far off it - first time I had one I nearly broke a tooth - they have the consistency of concrete.

Tasty, though. Great with a frosty beer after a day roasting in the steppes - which is where I first encountered them - mysterious spheres presented with a brew in dusty Aktobe.

They take some getting used to, but I absolutely loved them when I was working in central asia. I haven't been able to find a hookup back in the states though.

I just ordered some from a few sources, and hopefully one of them is good. Found one on Amazon, one on Etsy, and one from Bonanza. They're supposed to have great shelf life, so I guess they are well suited for e-commerce.

I felt like if I made them and didn't like them, I wouldn't know it was me screwing up the recipe or not.
