FWIW - I'm posting from Canada - Quark is available in the both the
Safeway and the Superstore where I live (a city of about 40,000
people). Safeway stocks it with their sour cream and cottage cheese.
Superstore stocks it in their "specialty" cheese area (as opposed to
cheese slices and block cheeses). I'm afraid I can't tell you what
it tastes like, as I don't eat dairy products. It kinda looks like
*really* thick yoghurt - sorta spreadable?
