Does this have a name ?

It's a big jar with a towel over the top of it. I don't know if it's "growing" inside that jar or what. I mean it's not refrigerated...and she drinks out of it. She showed me the jar last night and asked if I wanted some...and I was like; "I think I'l pass on this one."

The stuff I'm talking about does not need to be refrigerated.

Like many of the old world concoctions there are all manner of claimed cures for Kefir but it does work well on the digestive system. It is especially good if you have had a recent sickness in which you took a bunch of medication to kill what was ailing you. It restores the good bacteria you need and works really good at cleaning out the digestive track.

Yes. I'm used to consuming a lot of kefir and/or probiotic yogurt while taking antibiotics.

Sounds like "Молочный гриб" ("milk mushroom") - it's extremely good for you! Yes, it's possible to make kefir out of that.

There is also "чайный гриб" ("tea mushroom") - this thing is very good for your health too. My mom used to have a jar of "tea mushroom", I tried it.

Does it look like one of these jars:

And the winner is...ONA! She also does the same thing with water and it is a kind of tea.

That is exactly waht it looks like in my cupboard! It is covered with gauze and a rubber band

Charles has my reaction to it down to a Tee

OK, I didn't see that post until Gary just replied to it. It's the center jar and it has some kind of mushrooms from the forest in it with god only knows what else. All I know is I'm not touching the stuff.

It supposedly does wonders for your digestive system

So does White Castle.

yeah, it has a name

A grasshopper walks into a bar. "Hey!" says the bartender. "Did you know that we have a drink named after you?"

"Really?" says the grasshopper. "You have a drink named Fred?"

Before you marry a FSU lady, get HAZMAT training. When you're "in the field" (kitchen or bathroom) don a respirator, latex gloves, scuba wet suit, rubber boots with acid proof soles.

Be careful...it's hell in there boys!

I prefer liquor

I thought that liquor, or more commonly large quantities of beer, were prerequisites for White Castles.

Watch out the next day!

I'm fairly certain that it takes a different sort of mind-altering substance to enjoy White Castle, going by the fact that there is a movie franchise based on this very concept.

Like eating a box of ex-lax laced with rat poison. Just the alcohol please.
