Thanks. I used to make my own yogurt once a week. Think I'll start again!

While in Turkey, I did try the yogurt drink. What is that called?

[hellinahandcart]

I buy yogurt from a Greek place around here. It's thicker than sour cream and excellent for cooking, unlike the appalling non-fat commercial variety that dominates the supermarkets here.

You can't cook with non-fat yogurt.

I don't care what you call it or how much you try to disguise it with fruit and nuts. The plain simple fact is:

IT'S STILL SPOILED MILK!

"a Turk" must like kefir, too...

[WaterDragon]

My favorite food (I eat it daily) in this world is plain yogurt, super tangy, live-culture, OCCASIONALLY with fresh fruit added.Mmmmmmmmmmmm Really, nothing is so filling and refreshing as a dish of yogurt for breakfast or lunch. Or for me, on busy days, both.

I have always wanted to try real Middle Eastern yogurt- ever since a few years ago when I saw a report about the man (from Syria, I think) who had his (I think) 103rd birthday and attributed his longevity partly to a daily generous consumption of yogurt.

I guess I'll have to be happy with my strawberry yogurt drink I bought at the supermarket yesterday. Oh well, maybe someday I'll get the REAL thing... :)

Some organic food stores sell whole-milk yogurt that has "yogurt cream" on the top. If it's the real thing (i.e. made with whole milk or even with some cream added), you don't need to add sugar, because the butterfat cuts the sharpness of the yogurt. You can eat it right out of the container & it's delicious.

What else is really good: a mango lhassi. Take (real) yogurt, some mango puree (or mashed mangoes), a handful of ice cubes, and whirr it all in the blender. Ummm, umm good.
