Fake 91

BH is presently slimming and today she was decorating her rice cracker - or perhaps the pale yellow version called a lentil cracker - with some white gear called quark. White gear which looked a bit like yoghourt and which claimed both to be cheese and to be fat free. Which I thought was a nonsense and fully deserved to be flagged as a fake.

While she claims in her defence that German cake makers are very keen on the stuff, making extensive use of it to fill up pastry cases of one sort or another.

While I turn up Wikipedia at reference 1, to learn that quark is a well known food from central and eastern Europe with a fat content varying between 1% and 40% - this last number being achieved by adulteration with cream.

We then get to read the ingredients of the fat free quark, from which we learn that the fat has been replaced by sugar and other carbohydrates. After which BH points out that you can't possibly make a credible white spread which involves neither sugar not fat.

So a bit of nonsense which adds up to - guessing - half of one side of an aisle of stuff in Kiln Lane Sainsbury's. And we wonder why the world is overheating. Not to mention the people in it.
