  Kepi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The kepi's predecessor originally appeared during the 1830s, during the initial stages of the occupation of Algeria, as a series of various lightweight cane-framed cloth undress caps called Casquette d'Afrique, as alternatives to the heavier, cloth-covered leather French Army shako.
The kepi became well known outside France during the Crimean War and was subsequently adopted in various forms by a number of other armies (including the U.S. and Russian) during the 1860s and 1870s.
Kepis also found their way into the uniforms of numerous railway and streetcar operators in the United States.

The fermented kepi drink was consumed while the kepi grains remained in the leather bag, resulting in a continuous fermentation process.
During the ripening of kepi, the milk proteins are proteolysed by the proteolytic enzymes of yeast and acetic acid bacteria, resulting in a fine-flaked coagulum which is easy digestible.
Kepi is self-carbonating due to the production of CO2 by the yeasts and it is therefore appropriate that kepi is known as the “champagne of the cultured dairy products”.

 Kepi
Khepera, or "Kepi",  was taken from his previous home, where he’d been named “Stinky”, by humane law officers, as he was in an abusive, neglectful situation.
He had spent god-knows-how-long living in a windowless basement bathroom, which we were told was mold-encrusted and filthy.
Kepi is one of the most loving and demonstrative cats we’ve ever met, although sudden movements and loud noises still frighten him.

By the 19th Century the kepi was born and it has stayed with the gendarmes every since.
But the population movement over the past 100 years means that in many rural areas there is hardly any trouble, while the city police struggle to keep the lid on a rising crime wave.
If the kepi is to be consigned to the hatbox of history, the only other people who wear it will be members of the armed forces, like the French Foreign Legion.
