Maybe the average supermarket doesn't have it, but most medium to large cities have all sorts of specialty markets that carry exactly this sort of thing. Eric Lucas

Well...except for JoeBloe and unsettled, that is. They prefer insults to honest discussion. Eric Lucas

The phrase "early music" means a lot of different things to different people, but most of the denizens thereof think of "early music" as baroque and older, and the discussion there is almost invariably extremely civil (even to the extent of "please" and "thank you" being pretty much de rigueur). Pissing matches like the current thread are unheardof, barring trolling attacks. I think I've even seen questions very similar to yours in that group, with at least a few helpful replies. Eric Lucas

It is, rather, clearly an example of "the people don't want it, > so we ain't gonna stock much of it." I asked my neighbour about buttermilk. He says his mother used to drink lots but they lived in the country you see where it would have been readily available from the farm presumably. I expect it's something that was more popular in times of old ! Graham

I'm just puzzled that BAH thought that nothing of that kind exists here. Graham |
