Skyrs ok Mysu Orð

[eyja]

In the Creative Anachronist issue on skyr, the author writes about the skyr starter called þettir or þéttir (don't have it with me so don't know which), which she distinguishes from using and older batch of skyr -- it's made from milk and starts the skyr when you run out of your previous batches. She says it works much better than the buttermilk

Maybe I tried the wrong one, but skyr tastes bad to me. :(

Which one did you try?

Siggi's flavored ones...I don't care for his flavors.
When it's plain, you have to flavor it yourself, as it comes with no sweetener. Once you get sweetener in it, it's lovely.

Siggis's plain, with a tablespoon or two of maple syrup, is fabulous. Sooooo creamy.
