Good Haha. Thought it was me. My leader made a Baileys cheesecake with it and it tasted like paste. Ewwwwww. And sorry for this but it looks like some kind of poor hygiene female discharge Haha x

I have bought some this week for the first time, but I don't know what to make or do with it.

I might regret buying it if it taste horrible.

I just dont like the sour taste of it when trying to make something sweet out of it like a pud. I find the sour and sweet thing together not to my taste at all. Could eat it on savoury dishes though.

 

[-Tally-]

I love it sweetened with an options sachet and granulated sweetener, tis gorgeous with chopped strawberries.

 

[bunnylovesalan]

I think it is vile

 

[alfsmummy11]

Ohhhhh god yuk
I just think the name is horrid. The texture sticks to your mouth its just rank. Like gone off thick sour creme.xx

 

[MadameLaMinx]

I think maybe that you might be missing the point of it somewhat. It is a base for other flavours. It takes on the flavour of whatever you cook it with, so provides a good sauce base, or works well as an ingredient.

Do not be influenced by what you are reading here. Try it for yourself first.

I dislike it on it's own but find it is one of my best SW friends when I am using it as the vehicle for other things.

I use it to make fabulous tasting dips by adding a tablespoonful of sweet chili sauce, a tablespoonful of branston pickle etc. and eat it with strips of red pepper, cucumber, apple, carrot. I mix it with diced beetroot and onion to put in a baked potato or with a salad. Mix it with tuna and diced onion. I put it in home made soups to make them creamy or add vanilla essence and a sugar substitute and have it on top of strawberries.

There are endless things you can do with quark so give it a try.

No one implied that the title of the thread was anything other than what it is.

In your opening post you just state that you hate quark.

I think MadamlaMinx and I were only trying to help.

I know I only wanted to help kathrynmc as it is her first try.

I respect the fact that you do not like the taste or the texture of quark. I was really only suggesting ways anyone who hasn't tried it could use it.

 

[Stitchy]

Nah, I like Quark It's good on toast with some jam on top

 

[Devon Dolce]

I love Quark! Have been known to mix it with honey and have it in the morning with my banana when I've run out of 0% yogurt - yum yum! It's delicious with an Options stirred through too xx

 

[fillymum]

and whipped into raw eggs with dried oregano and tarragon, salt and pepper, makes an omelet to die for !!!

 

[RegField]

Not all Quark is the same. There are a few different manufacturers. I get mine from Waitrose, and it has no taste at all, but is brilliant for flavouring with sweet or savoury things.

 

[jen3]

I love it!!!!! With Splenda mixed in served with fresh mango.

 

[Monkey_Monkey_Underpants]

I'm with some of the others on here, in that it tastes of nothing whatsoever, so I couldn't eat it on its own. But that makes it so versatile for combining with other things.

 

[alfsmummy11]

Sooo many Quark fans. Which gets back to the thread point it seems its just me and a couple others who it makes wanna heave!!!
