I have spent 40 odd years of my life hating yogurt, then this week i see daughter eating one and think to myself, that looks quite nice

12 yogurts later and im hooked, they are a bit nice arent they

so come on tell me, the best yogurts, and who make them please

xxLynnxx

Lynn, the problem is that in the olden days when we were young the only yoghurt was Ski (the full of fitness food for all the family) and now there are lots and lots of flavours and varieties. Some of the supermarket home labels are good especially the ones with real fruit, We like those fruit corner ones

You are very brave Nana,,yuk ,cant tell you what is or not bestest,

Lol Lynn.
OH won't eat them. He thinks they must be like sour milk.

I like the Yeo Valley ones, - plain or flavoured. If I buy the plain Greek style one, I add a drizzle of runny honey, ...mmmm.

Watch out for any that are thinkened by starch. You sometimes get that as a thickener, especially in low fat varieties and I always think they do taste starchy, ...not nice.
When different ones are on a special offer, I try them. Apart from the starchy ones, I like most of them.

Maybe your right Colin, i always remembered the yogurts from years ago to be runny
i bought some from the co-op 4 for a pound, lol and my god, they are nice, especially the hazelnut one

will have a trolley full of yogurts from now on,

( dont think they will ever replace a hunk of chocolate cake tho ;O))) )

Hi Gwyn, hi Ladies

will be trying them all i think, i really am a bit hooked, had 3 already today !!!

now i wonder what its like poured on chocolate cake !!!!

xxLynnxx

I reckon it would be OK on chocolate cake, ..Lol.

I quite like plain yoghurt on apple pie.
There is a good contast with the sweetness of the fruit.
Great on mince pies too.

Gwyn

The yogurts of today bear no resemblence to the ones I use to eat years ago. Much prefer the lovely ones you can buy now. My favourites are Rhubarb at the moment mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

we will have to sneak a pot of yogurt into Browns or barracuda Gwyn pour it on our puddings ;O))

You fetch the yogurt i will get the cake

hope everyone is well honey, hows the lodgers on the roof lol ?

xxLynnxx

Rhubarb sounds good Marianne

reminds me of eating it fresh from the garden with a little pot of sugar aww, those were the days

xxLynnxx

mmm fruit corner--wish we could get them here!
I'm now very much liking natural Greek yoghourt (full fat unfortunately, the low 1% is just set powdered milk)-but we eat it with savoury dishes,grilled meats etc.
It's taken me 20 years here to get to like the flavour and sourness--
Well done Lynn for trying something new-if you like honey,try a teaspoon in a small pot of Greek yogourt

Total , is very good love it with honey or over cereal
I make soda bread and rather than put buttermil in
I use natural yoghurt and nut ones, lovely.

Jean xxxx

will certainly give the greek yogurt and honey a try now, have bought it for youngest lots of times, and she has it with fruit or honey,

Jean, you make soda bread !!!!! will be there tomorro, i love it lol

Lynn, I saw some fresh rhubarb in my local supermarket today and it looked really nice. May buy some and have it with custard.. Just like Mum used to make. Lol.

Love and Peace

Lodgers have increased in number. They must have been hiding another youngster from me !.. so 3 babies, 2 adults and a county full of 'guardians'.

They were still calling out at 1.15 this morning.

Gwyn

Rhubarb and custard eh that sounds nice maybe with a crumble topping lol

tin hats then Gwyn, wont be long till they leave the nest surely,

i laugh every time i think of you and the sky light Gwyn, sorry, cant help it

My favourite fruit yoghurt is one I make myself.....

Chopped fruit in a large bowl (this week I am on blueberries, strawberries and banana)
Slosh in some natural yoghurt - greek or sheeps is good.
sweeten with runny honey

Stir it all up and get stuck in..... 'tis yummy and much nicer than the "fruit" flavoured ones you can buy.

Yoghurt = for the good bacteria
Fruit = for the vitamins and minerals etc
Honey = natural goodness and antiseptic
