No one owes artists anything.

You've never had a real, true, honest-to-goodness, in-the-flesh crush your whole damn life. Is boot camp the best place to pop that cherry? Probably not, okay? But you are gonna wave the white flag, surrender, and enjoy it. - Cameron to Himself, Boots S1E7 Love is a Battlefield

Hi Paperclip! :)

It is unfortunately a boring answer; I chose yakbuttersoup from a username generator (originally this username was for a cooking app which is why I chose something with food in it).

I have done some research in the past and apparently there is no such thing as yak butter soup, but there are several yak butter dishes and products like yak butter, yak butter ice cream, yak butter tea, using yak butter in lamps and for tanning hides, etc.

Typically yak butter is used in Central, North, and East Asia cultures, specifically in the Himalayan Plateau (which I have no personal connection to) and I would love to try some yak butter food products some day. The tea specifically sounds tasty!

If anyone has any recipes with yak butter they like, please let me know. I don't know if I could find yak butter where I live but I'm sure I could figure something out.

yak butter ice cream sounds so rich :)
