Seems so, yes, really shouldn’t surprise that the basic idea is known in the UK. Certainly not something you can get for breakfast over there, though, had to survive on nothing but full English because the purpose of their croissants is to spite the French and don’t get me started on weetabix. Actually, coming to think of it quark is probably the only thing it’d actually work in.
