Anneke,

Don't try to get this yak's cheese in Holland, it will never be   
fresh.....
I guess it will taste like a mild fresh goat cheese, this goes very well   
with chilies!

" ... where wild rhubarb grew plentifully. As soon as the tents were put   
up
all hands fell to picking the rhubard. We asked Mingma [the sirdar] to   
stew
us some for supper. He did so, but he also gave us some prepared Sherpa-
fashion - chopped up raw and mixed with salt, chillies and yak's milk   
cottage
 -
cheese. Either way, it was delicious."

Anybody know where to get hold of some yak's milk cottage-cheese (west of   
the
Himalayas that is)?
