I miss serwowit (whey champagne). It was the best drink after an intensive basketball game when I was a teenager. It's a pity they don't sell it any more.

yeah I always ran to the store on my school break and got a little bottle of serwowit. the fun thing was to poke a little hole on the cap, cover the hole with the finger and then shake it for few seconds. Finger off the cap and.......champagne celebration like after winning a car race!!! :)
Some Polish dishes are made by letting them stand for days, like żurek, bigos, serwatka, kwaśne mleko.
The French (and others) do the same with wine, beer, cheese etc.

You might try this:
1 cup (225 ml) whole milk
1 tbsp (15 ml) lemon juice or vinegar
Preparation
Place the lemon juice or vinegar into a cup of whole milk--the closer the milk is to room temperature, the better.
Stir and let sit for 10 minutes.
You now have sour milk

[Moved from]: new potatoes & sour milk
On a hot summer day can there be anything better than a bowl of cold sour milk and some hot, buttered, dilled potatoes on the side?
With all the chemicals added to American homogenised milk it would turn bitter when soured. But now Polish delis offer dairy-made zsiadłe mleko. Some Polonians use dairy buttermilk (maślanka) instead.

The last time I ate it was probably in early 1980s. I was never fond of it.

Well...nothing like fresh food these days....full of preservatives and other chemicals to make food "appear fresh". I'd rather use natural "food processing" like in zurek, bigos and kwasne mleko. Yuuummmm.
I used to drink maślanka for a few years to avoid fresh milk which is harmful to adults. However, once I read that kefir is much healthier and today I drink my own home made kefir.

My father enjoyed buttermilk on his fried, boiled potatoes and called in "Mashlanka: (Phonetic) any comment? (this is all I grew up with and I liked it,_
Mashlanka: (Phonetic)
maślanka (ś=sh) is 'buttermilk' in Poland (though the 'buttermilk' I remember from the US was very different, with a slightly yellowish tint and much thicker than maślanka....
Some people in Poland have buttered boiled potatoes (maybe with green onions or fresh dill) and drink the buttermilk on the side.

Anything goes, whatever one likes.
But... are you sure it was buttermilk called maślanka and not another dairy dish called maczanka, which also contains milk but is eaten with bread.
@pawian
"Maczanka" never heard of it?
