Fun random fact, I’ve been learning Finnish for about 10 months, and it greatly confused me to find out they have a dish called quark. Like, what kind of society goes around eating elementary particles? No wonder it’s one of the most difficult languages to learn.
Hehehe. Very good. I don’t think I’ll ever be Finnished, it’s incredibly difficult and daily I question whyyyyy (the reality is because it’s very embarassing not being able to speak Finnish when I’ve been performing there a couple of times a year for over a decade, while nearly everyone I meet speaks excellent English, classic lazy Brit)
It’s basically eaten as an alternative to yoghurt, or in cakes, cheesecake can be made with kwark. I have eaten the cake, which is allright, but I don’t like the texture /mouth feel when eaten like yoghurt.
There’s not many things I’m fussy about eating, yoghurt is one though… I feel ill just thinking about it. So maybe I should pass on this stuff in my mission to try local delicacies…

Are you Finnished yet?
I’ll show myself out.

…isnt all food made out of fundamental particles?
Damn it you’re right. Technically correct is, of course, the best kind of correct!

The Dutch have the same dish with the same name. They spell it as “kwark” though.
Have you tried it before? It doesn’t sound very appealing, though it might be one of those things that sounds nasty but tastes delicious.

Did the name of the food come before or after the discovery of quarks?
The particle was named after the food.
(But the Star Trek character, I have no idea.)
It seems the dish predates the particle by around 40 years!
