SC enjoys smokey, cheese flavored Himalayan yak milk bars. Who can blame him. That sounds delicious.

Yak butter  and yak milk are amazing flavours, that are staples in Himalayan culture, so no… I can’t blame him either lmaoo, also I love the name Smokey so much

Digital Media Producer. I like particles and waves too. I like art.

Do you use yak products in your own cooking?

how would you characterize the difference in taste, as compared to dairy cow butter? would you recommend it as a substitute for common butter or does it not fit well?

Not when I’m in Canada, no. But when I was in Nepal and the Himalayas, fuck yes. Like I said Yak butter is a key ingredient in traditional Tibetan and Sherpa dishes. It's used to make *tsampa* (a mixture of roasted barley flour and yak butter), as well as for frying and as general oil. They also make butter tea. Sherpas also use it for skin protection from the cold kinda like sun protection.
