    Looking for "filabunk"

    My grandfather (of Swedish heritage) used to always eat what he called "filabunk". It was similar to a sour yogurt that you would make from a culture and whole milk. He passed many moons ago, but I was wondering if anyone has heard of it or might even have a source for a culture.
    Any help would be appreciated!!!

    Yep. I found it by that name as well as a few others, but alas no info on how to get it. I do remember that he acquired the "culture" through family members in Sweden. They would actually soak a paper towel in it, dry it and send it throught the mail. Of course, that link to the family has long since disappeared. I just thought I'd throw it out here in the off chance someone might have heard of it.
