Was that ymer or buttermilk (kaernemaelk) or something else?  If 
ymer,it's delicious with brown sugar and dried rye breadcrumbs for 
breakfast - streets ahead of yoghurt in all its forms.

Buttermilk is best warmed and eaten with kammerjunker (small sweet 
biscuits).

If anyone knows how I can get any of these outside Denmark (British 
buttermilk isn't the same, I don't know why), I will be forever 
grateful.
