Anyone had Kvass (Fermented Bread)? It's mentioned a lot in Russian novels; I've always wondered what it tastes like.

I'm Russian and my Dad owned a bakery for a couple years (bakeries often make kvas because .. well duh). I'd get the stuff "fresh" and it was definitely some of the best in the city (Toronto).

Basically it tastes like beer. Not as heavy.

As to OP, the first thing that popped into my head was a Russian home remedy for colds/flus that I've been made to endure a few times. Phonetically it's called "Goghle moghle" (shutup) and consists of a glass of warm milk with tablespoons of honey (I hate honey) and... a raw egg. While I understand that the protein boost this sloppy mess possesses may have been beneficial to the average 16th century communist, the fact kids are still forced to choke this [censored] down should be a human rights violation.
