Nick, I didn't read the whole article about Kefir, but what I did read reminded me of the "Boza" that was sold in Turkey, a fermented wheat drink. When we first moved into our Turkish apartment and heard the work "Boza" being pernounced by the street vendor (whose name escapes me now), we thought someone was calling out our name "Buza". We had to find out what was going on and it was this drink that he was selling. All the people like that had name that ended in AGEE.
