hello! :) I was just wondering how your username came to be - is it a reference to something in particular? <3
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.
Thanks for the question! <3
ah wow this was a great and well detailed answer!! I'm happy to know that although the name was randomly generated, it's since been researched XD
yak butter ice cream sounds so rich :)

edit. i am an idiot and just realised that i saved this as a draft instead of reblogging? anyway, thanks for your detailed answer, i hope one day you can find an authentic yak butter soup recipe <3
