`AUSTIN POWERS' STAR CRAVES FERMENTED YAK MILK

NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) -- Some actors are addicted to booze but not "Austin Powers'" star Michael York: his favorite beverage is fermented yak's milk. According to entertainment journalist Baird Jones, York developed his yen for yak milk while recently touring Mongolia -- and get this: he first tried the stuff as a chaser for an hors d'oeuvre of boiled sheep eyeballs. Although York avoided eating the eyeballs by slipping them down his shirt sleeve, he says the yak milk had a terrific "sweet and sour taste" once he got past the rancid odor. Now, York satisfies his yearning for yak's milk by going out of his way to sample it when traveling in countries like Nepal where the drink is a local delicacy.
