I don't like greasy/oily foods ever, at all. Mostly because I'm overly sensitive to it, and so much as naturally oily skin makes me cringe and wash it with detergent. Must make it clean!

I guess nobody agrease on this issue.

Regarding dripping grease, I wouldn't have a problem with it except for the fact that the amount of grease is directly proportional to the speed with which I must run to the toilet after eating (or even before I finish my meal, if it's super-greasy).

So I did a comparative analysis of all kvass I have found on the Moscow market. I'm not sure if anybody gives a shit about this topic here, though. Should I tell?

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

I'm mostly fascinated on how did you do the analysis on kvass of all the things.

I don't even know what kvass is, so, naturally I'm intrigued.

Oooh, I've tried that the other day!

Some polish made stuff on a medieval fair of sorts. This one was flavoured with honey too, so it had this slightly sweet taste and a really nice smell. Good stuff, too bad I didn't get to try the other flavours too (I think there's plain and then some other one).

Sweet-ish one is pretty good, tastes kinda like Coke or maybe Dr. Pepper, but kinda malty/caramely. I recently had an awful one, though, the carbonation escaped IMMEDIATELY as soon as you poured it into a glass, and you were left with a flat, disgusting something.

Is the stuff alcoholic? I assume it is because of the fermentation, but I'd like to know for sure.

Well, I dunno, I guess I drank it?

Right. Kvass is a fermented beverage made from either rye bread or flour (rye and/or wheat) and malt (either wheat or barley). Factory kvass is made from flour, malt, sugar, and a fermentation starter, while homegrown kvass is usually made with bread, yeast, and sugar. Technically, kvass doesn't have to contain grain products at all; historically, fermented beverages made with berries and stuff were also called kvass. However, I only found one example of that, so there.
Kvass usually contains from 0.4 to 1.2% alcohol. It's sometimes classified as a kind of beer by foreign experts, but hell. Kefir is more alcoholic. You need like, five liters of kvass to get even a light buzz.
Proper kvass should have a bready, sourish taste (not too sweet) and a slight fizz. It's not supposed to be carbonated, or rather, it's supposed to carbonate itself during fermentation, but what are you gonna do.

So, having done with this little lecture, here are my findings.

Damn. I miss kvass. Haven't had it since I was in Riga last summer. Impossible to get it in the US. I'd be tempted to make it myself but already have my hands full. Thanks, though. I know what to look for now.

Tomorrow, I am going to an Amish community, to buy all of their specialty meats and cheeses. It will be glorious. Also, Wolfeyez will make fun of me the whole time about that one time I got the crap kicked out of me by a bunch of Amish dudes.
