I'm thinking of getting a cool bag and bringing a quark shake to work as a meal. I just need quick liquid cals and I don't want whey all the time.

I'm also having quark before bed.

Probly a stupid question but can you have too much of this? Is 2 tubs a day ok? There's no fat or anything in it, so I'm guessing it's fine.

I go through about 1kg of quark each day.

There are of course various quark types available here as opposed to UK. In UK you only have the "virtually fat free" type as far as I could see. You can get quark here with 40% fat !

Anyway I digress. What I wanted to tell you was that quark does have the tendancy to bloat, this is notorious. I have found a good low fat lactose free quark here which is much better in this respect. So just be warned, if youre lactose sensitive, too much quark can bloat your belly which is not too nice to look at

Well I don't think I'm lactose sensitive.

I'll give it a go anyway.

I think Northern Rocker lives in Germany; don't think you can get lactose free Quark over here. Maybe we could get him to set up an export business!

I dont think it would be too successfull considering how quark is so hard to pinpoint in the supermarkets in UK. Here they have whole cold displays filled with maybe 20 different sorts of quark.

Germans love the stuff, they bake with it, eat it for breakfast with fruit, or dump it on jacket potatoes with parsley, onions, chives etc.

They also pour flaxoil over potatoes.

I buy kilos of this stuff :

When i was in Germany earlier this year, i couldn't believe how much Quark there was.

Massive 500g tubs of it too.

Their cottage cheese was nice too.

Yes, it is soft cheese.

Sainsburys, Tesco, Morrisons, Asda, all sell it.

I thought along those lines as well and they didnt have it, and when I asked if they had it I got a look like I'd asked for human flesh

Tesco do sell it, it is normally at the end of the shelf on the cheese section.

Awfull but blended up with some options into a shake it's ok. And a very easy way of getting some cheap protein
