Hello , do you know where in Cairo I can find “curd “ , Kurd “ this milky substance with fruits that tastes a lot like yogurts but with a more rich and creamy taste ..
I tried all supermarkets starting Alfa and Metro ending with these very local groceries , the thing is that they ( supermarket owners) don’t know the meaning of Curd , maybe it has a another pronunciation in Egyptian !?

Greek yogort is thick and creamy, there are others called quark or creme fraiche not yogorts. Ultra low in fat. Maybe soured cream? Then you go to curd cheeses which you can use in cheese cakes but are full fat and rich. If you go to the deli bit in carrefour and ask for curd cheese unflavoured and ask for a taster. They have lots of varieties and some are hot!

Could be what we call here fromage fraise - a little bit thicker than yoghurt.
We also do have lemon curd here but it surely can't be that as that it spread on bread or toast and you wouldn't eat a jar full of it unless you had strange cravings.
I am intriqued now as to what spasm is on about, I will take a trip tomorrow to my local supermarket to investigate further what it could be.......watch this space Posts: 1244 | From: we come in peace | Registered: Nov 2006

I luv cottage cheese (and yes with pineapple it's a GREAT breakfast ). Im sure you could probably find it at least at carrefour in cairo, I've never seen it in public circulation so to speak Posts: 13440 | Registered: Feb 2006

Spasm, I love it too, and have looked in just about every store in Alex and have yet to find it.
Who knows, maybe they will start carrying it, as I see many new items added to grocery stores weekly.
