Nido
I was very pleasantly surprised today to discover that Nido tastes exactly like icecream. I haven’t had Nido in years, although it was the only milk I would drink as a toddler. Then we moved to Saudi Arabia and then came the brilliant Saudi dairy industry…
These days, I usually stick to low-fat Klim (and yes, I don’t like “real” milk, it smells like cows).
On an unrelated note, while Googling for Nido images, I came upon this very interesting blog, called the Nido Generation;
“I am a product of the nido-generation myself. I hate it, no doubt about it. I try to change this and break free from its shackles, but the nido bubble is a strong self-enforcing entity which always comes back to encircle you with its charms and misdeeds. I am a self-hating nido-er. This blog is a chance for me to exorcise my nido demons. God-damn you, nido.”

Nido? You gotta be kidding me…”taking a moment to breathe and shake horrible memories away”.. I don’t like milk in the first place, but I developed such hatred to Nido that I still taste its vile essence in the back of my throat from when I was 2 years old…yuck.

I grew up on Nido. My grandfather would make it for me every morning. There were times when I would take a spoonful and just eat it! When we left Egypt it would be years before I found Nido again (thank God for bodegas!!) but I now keep a can in my apartment in case the urge strikes! I can’t eat beleela without it!!
