Kaernemaelkskoldskall (buttermilk cold soup)

Dad said it only took him six months to like buttermilk in Denmark. He doesn't like to drink buttermilk, however. I always have. Here is the recipe for buttermilk soup from Denmark that he learned to love if you want to try it. Hehehe! Notice the eggs are not cooked.

Kaernemaelkskoldskall (buttermilk cold soup)
4 c  Buttermilk
2 Eggs
4 tb Sugar
1 ts Vanilla extract
Juice of 1 lemon
  Beat the eggs, sugar, lemon juice and vanilla together in the bowl the soup is to be served in. Beat the buttermilk and fold in a little at a time.
If you want to make something out of this dish, top the bowl with a cup of whipped whipping cream. Top with vanilla wafers. It can also
be served after the main course with whipped cream and sweetened fruit. Some Danes serve with raspberries or strawberries 
but most just serve it with the wafers.
