I’ve been buying it for years and I still don’t know what it is.
It is life. ????
don’t know, never had it, despite living in EY for 2 decades. Let me know when you figure it out.
It’s something you make. Something you hack.
Twelb minus one.
“Twelb minus one.”
lol. glad to hear you’re back to making jokes.
“It is life. ????”
? Is that Yiddish or something?
Yes.
Middle Eastern yogurt
It’s yogurt that spreads easily and tastes awesome with Za’atar
lightbrite, I assume you’re talking about unflavored leben. Chocolate leben with zaatar would be … interesting.
Lol they make chocolate leben?
Yes def the plain version. I was drooling over those Lebanese round flatbread things in the shook or someplace where they make it before your eyes and then spread leben on top with zaatar and roll it up
Chocolate leben with za’star would def be interesting to say the least!
leben is thicker then yogurt but not as thick as pudding
Leben is thinner than yogurt, especially Greek yogurt. I tasted it only once, and it tasted to me like spoiled milk (which is probably not far from the truth.) Nevertheless, my kids love it. They poke a straw right through the foil top and slurp it away in seconds. I don’t think you can drink yogurt with a straw.
I assume it is based on yogurt but just more diluted (possibly with milk).
I don’t think it’s more diluted, just less yogurtized
I’m guessing Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus.
Leben and yogurt are basically the same. The main difference is cultural.
“yogurtized” is an excellent adjective!
I wanted to say that it is more runny. Then that sounded weird. The next best word was thin, but then it’s not like traditional yogurt is fat. Just thicker.
Maybe it moves faster and is less condensed than standard yogurt.
DaasYochid: Both are multicultural. They can be very open-minded and welcoming to other strains. Technically yogurt making containers need to be sanitized beforehand, like with boiling water. Otherwise whatever is on your hands and/or in that glass/ceramic/etc-ware will grow too. A milky petri dish.
I still don’t get it….*shakes head*.
I beleive it’s some sort of milchig thing
Ice cream is better. So is chocolate.
Leben is the process, effected by yeast, that makes bread rise. During Pesach, we eat only unlebened bread. I don’t know why they use it as the name of a yogurt.
huju, they don’t use it as a name for yogurt. you mean leaven (English word) not leben (originally Arabic, now used in Hebrew). I assume that Leben is derived from lavan, white, the color of milk. An etymology search told me that Leaven comes from French, levain, which derives from the French levare, meaning to raise up.
Wikepedia defines leben as curdled milk with the butter removed, also known as buttermilk.
To Winnie the Pooh: I know I was kidding. I hope you were, too.
huju, when I saw the reference to Pesach, at first I thought you were talking about “libun”.
If Winnie the Pooh is right, then they actually are both from the same shoresh, I think.
And yes, I know you were kidding.
I wasn’t sure, and I was afraid to take it as a joke in case you were not.. or maybe the next poster would not be. It’s hard sometimes to read things properly without facial expressions.
maybe we should start using those little cute smiley face thingies (emoticons, I think they are called?)
leben is a fountain
LeBen is the French name for a giant clock in London.
