Use up my quark

[Mrs Pingu]

I have 200g of quark left over from making my sour cherry strudels stollens today. What can I make with it?

(I'd really like to make sour cherry and quark ice cream but I have neither an ice cream maker or spare sour cherries.)

[Kim]

Hadrons?

[Pingu]

That's a strange thing to suggest.

[spesh]

But it has a certain charm.

[Pedal Castro]

Top replies, but have we bottomed out?

[Mr Larrington]

I dunno, I think they’re a bit, well, up and down.

[SteveC]

To consider the other sort of quark 

I've used it in things like white/cheese sauces. Doesn't add much, a bit of texture perhaps, but better than throwing it away. The sour cherry strudels sound much more interesting.

[Mrs Pingu]

Sorry, stollen, not strudel. Here is the recipe https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2010/dec/11/stollen-recipe-cherry-dan-lepard

[SteveC]

That looks rather good - thanks. I will save the recipe for next year (we have no visitors over Christmas this year for various reasons and MrsC has already made one large cake).

Baked cheesecake?
I could look for a recipe...

[Pingu]

Well that's the nucleus of an idea.

[Jaded]

If a quark is stollen, does it matter?

[spesh]

It matters to Muster Mark who now only gets two.

The physicist Murray Gell-Mann proposed the existence of the quark in 1964, getting the idea for naming the particle from James Joyces' Finnegan's Wake.

Back in the early 1960s, Gell-Mann wanted his new name for the components of protons and neutrons to sound like “kwork”, but he did not know how to spell it. However, since quark – which also describes the cry of a gull – was clearly intended to rhyme with Mark, Gell-Mann had to find an excuse to pronounce it “kwork”. But as Finnegans Wake is about the dreams of a publican and many phrases in the book are derived from calls for drinks at the bar, Gell-Mann argued that “Three quarks for Muster Mark” might actually mean “Three quarts for Mister Mark”. In 2002 he was able to study Joyce’s original manuscript for the novel during a visit to Dublin.

Isn't it what a durck says? Of in MG-M's case, a dork?

[T42]

Seriously though, why not just eat it? 200g wouldn't last long around here.

Or: we can get little round peppers in oil, filled with fromage blanc, which is practically the same thing.

Jalapeno poppers

[T42]

Had those in the US. They sort-of make you need a beer.

[Mrs Pingu]

I can't be arsed with anything that needs deep frying anyway.

[T42]

So just fill them and forget the frying.

[hellymedic]

Season with chives, salt, pepper & herbs & spread on toast or combine on a bagel with smoked salmon, for 'bagel & lox'...

Quarkbällchen... essentially little fried donut ballss made with Quark.
