Thanks, Nennsy. Time will tell. I understand your saying on hot milk & yogurt, but it brings back some bad memories about the hospitality in your region. The yogurt in your region tastes horrible to me (sorry!) and whether in Kosovo or Macedonia or Albania, especially in the rural areas--the Balkans hospitality tradition meant it was offered to me everywhere and I regularly had to choke it down. Yuck. But I appreciated the graciousness of the people providing it!

Lol! You made me laugh with your remarks on yogurt.
I guess it's just a matter of taste.
I had similar experience with many Americans who would drink Turkish coffee, although they hated it, but they didn't want to offend the hosts. They felt reborn, after I told them they can simply say "no, thank you", and no one will take it badly.
Those were funny moments...
