    Anyone like buttermilk?

    I mean, to drink, right out of the carton?

    I got a quart for cooking & thought I'd FINALLY taste it. I've heard lots of people rave about it. Well, it tastes to me just like it smells - like sour milk.

    Great for cooking, but to drink? Is there a trick? Like if I cultivate a taste I'll like it?

    You left off one step, you should have had a cat nearby. After you drink the buttermilk, you raise the cats tail up and lick. This improves the taste 100%.

    Like you, I can't even begin to drink it, but it's great for cooking. My wife used it in something she made, and it was bad news. I don't remember what it was, but even she couldn't eat it.

    Yeah, I like it. It's tastes a lot like plain yogurt. Some like it, some don't. Actually home made buttermilk tastes a lot better (to me) than most of the stuff sold in the cartons.

    There are also many different kinds of buttermilk. There is the original kind that was produced from making butter, hence the name "butter milk". But that is not the stuff as the one that comes in the cartons nowadays. Different parts of the world have different varieties depending on the types of bacteria that are present during the fermentation of the milk. Yeah, buttermilk is basically produced by bacteria on milk. So is yogurt, cheese, etc.
