I haven't tried it raw, but buttermilk icecream is delicious and lately I have noticed a trend towards things like buttermilk-fried chickenburgers and similar foods, I've been meaning to try one.

Buttermilk you buy in the store bears little relation to the buttermilk you get from churning butter.

And is also a different product in the US vs EU.

Same difference, isn't it? In the EU buttermilk usually refers to the by-product of butter making. In the US and Canada it's commercially produced cultured milk.

I don't think the buttermilk ice cream is made from teh same buttermilk that the OP is referring to. The milk leftover from the churning of butter is a kind of tangy skim milk and it can't be used to make ice cream because all of the fat has been removed to make the butter.

The buttermilk you buy in the store is basically fermented milk. It has a totally different flavor and texture. It is also delicious and you should totally make fried chickenburgers with it. You should also make biscuits, pancakes, cornbread, etc with it (assuming you eat those things) because buttermilk has an amazing flavor that's really unlike anything else.
