Welp, I was born in California, but grew up in Maryland. Now I live in Texas, and have been here for about 6 years. Haven't got the whole "Southern drawl" thing going yet (Too much East Coast in me for that) but I have picked up "Y'all", "fixing to" and some other regional colloquialisms.
It is. If you think about yogurt... It is sour milk with some other stuff. But most yogurts are made with any cheap-and-easy lactid acid bacteria. We use the best of the best. And you really can taste it. Quark, cheese, curd, sour cream, kefir... All of that is sour milk in some form. But you all must taste our favorite sweet called salmiakki. When you mix ammonia and chlorine you get ammoniumchloride NH4Cl. And that's it! Some use it in batteries or in metallurgia or... We eat it! It is delicious. It must be most common type of sweets in Finland. (Well... NH4CL is not exactly sweet taste, but... You get my point.) You all would love Finnish cuisine. Pine bark alias pettu, ammonium chloride, sour milk... (Ok... Terry Pratchetts trolls couldn't handle NH4Cl, but that proves nothing. Our kids and adults love it.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonium_chloride And if you like sports... We have good training methods. And our Texas-friends... You can try Finnish version of rodeo. Dudesons show you how. Or if you are lazy standing still might be your sport.
Thing is, in English, sour milk is a term we do use, but it means milk that has spoiled under uncontrolled conditions. It's gone off. Obviously, nearly all dairy derived products answer to some sort of bacterial processing, but we would never call that sour milk in English. We reserve that term for something that now needs to be thrown into the rubbish. ETA: We do say sour cream, though, as something we happily consume. I heard the Exceptions Brigade tromping down the hallway and figured I should post that before they take me away.
I actually used to work in a cheese factory where we used rennet, which is an enzyme that changes the protein structure in forcing the liquids out. It doesn't technically 'sour' and there are no acid by products. This wasn't the standard for all the cheeses they made, and some did use bacterial cultures, but saying they 'soured' would be an overstatement. To be honest, though, while I love cheese, the smell of it's manufacture still turns my stomach.

@Cave Troll you're in Snowflake? My husband's family is in Heber-Overgaard. We go out and visit once or twice a year.
I haven't been out to Heber-Overgaard, in about 2.5 years. Closest I have been is out to Clay Springs.
Born and raised in Lewisham, London, England. But I now live in the Midlands of the Republic of Ireland, having moved here in 2016.
You left Snowflake, and then returned to Snowflake? There must be something powerfully attractive about Snowflake. And it can't be snowflakes - there are more of them elsewhere.
@Cave Troll troll is a snowflake. You fukking Snowflake # get a grip, wash your teeth, boil an egg, monkey.
London, England is my hometown and my day job has given me privileged access to London's more famous/cooler buildings, buildings and places that are cool and known to all Londoners, my agency work (construction) sends me all over London, and I commute by public transport or walking. My personal life gravitated towards Soho with promotional work from there and my time there; and since ever I've loved near by Chinatown (London's Chinatown), and since I was 15, 16, have loved Denmark Street/UK's Tin Pan Alley, on the other end of Soho in the London Borough of Camden even though the rest of Soho is in the City of Westminster (London Borough/local authority). My agency job and my hometown has enabled me to take some very cool snapshots for my Instagram. That said, I'm also a Croydonite (someone from Croydon) from the heart of Thornton Heath.
It was some place to go when I got divorced. And we get snow here, just not a whole lot. They get more in Flagstaff and Greer.
Google tells me that's in Beckenham, which is the borough and the county over, but still in London. London's not in a county... London's in numerous counties.
Ah... yeah, I'm hetero, but when I had fun in Soho, it was at all the gay bars with my Lesbian friends. I love life. So like G-A-Y and G-A-Y Late and Heaven (Charring Cross by Benjamin Franklin's old house) were my scene, and I'm striaght and I worked at a 'straight one/one for everybody ) called The Borderline. - I would promote The Borderline and get free entry to all the clubs in Soho for working at a Soho club - That was fun. That was fun, I even set up my LTD in Soho to have my company based in Soho when I jumped on the opportunity, I have things registered in Soho, 'tis cool I think. Like this punk band of mine about my days in Soho; called Lesbian With A Gun, I set that up around the corner from where Jimi Hendrix recorded Purple Haze, I was at home in Soho once a upon a time, before 2016 before the rebuild and construction work has lead me back when I've sold my soul labouring on construction sites that are taring down my beloved Soho. Soho used to be fun, but I got out right at the end/ 31st December 2015/1st of January 2016 (very shortly before the changes happened, but were being announced) , and came back 2 years later to a Soho I didn't recognise to change it even more. I mean, I've passed through once or twice after, but when I found I couldn't recognise it and when I was sent to the big build that was why I didn't recognise it anymore; that hurt/that was sad/I felt like a part of the problem Soho's having but needing to eat at the same time, I felt dirty rebuilding what I knew and saw such a change as to hide my bearings from me, felt morally conflicted on that one.
It's not 'gay,' it's thespian and derelict and alcoholic and historic, historical where Jeffrey Bernard used to get pissed in the times when pubs opened at 3pm. Polari was spoken, yes, but I think it's still there, kind of grumpy and clicky, intolerant. If I went to Soho, I'd go there or the Tom Cribb [?] back of Haymarket.
Alice Cooper knows The Crowbar (according to the doorman there) and I think The Rolling Stones knew Ronnie Scotts... I guess I once had my hair cut on Denmark Street (great place) who boasted Theatre Land when during small talk (very talktive place) saying they cut the stars hair there and said he cut people's hair like Craig Charles and others when they've been in shows on the West End. But I'm a guitarist, who happens to have stories I want to write, but, I'm a cliché Slash (from Guns N' Roses) type person if you're to type cast me as anything. And I mean that lol. So when I'm in Soho, I'm at home in all the cool guitar stuff there. - and I mean that, even though it's also Theatreland, I'm all about the guitars and stuff when I'm taking myself to Soho not for work or anything. - just is who I am. Love guitar, love Soho, love it.
