Yogurt

[twickster]

I have a strong preference for "fruit on bottom" yogurt, even though I immediately stir it all together.

[pulykamell]

I only buy plain yogurt--makes it more versatile for me. That said, plain yogurt is sometimes a little difficult to find.

[Snowboarder Bo]

I had to vote "Other" because there was no option for "Frozen".

[johnpost]

i make unflavored and unsweetened yogurt as well as making flavored, sweetened and thickened it in some combination homemade. as well as having fruited, flavored, sweetened after making.

for store bought i get the large containers of unflavored or flavored.

[Mangetout]

I like either, but when I have fruit on the bottom (or fruit corner), I don't stir it together. Contrast-within-a-mouthful of flavours, textures, temperatures, etc is one of my favourite things.

[troubledwater]

Neither. I make my own and flavor it with Grade B maple syrup.

[Jamicat]

Plain for cucumber dip and sour cream alt.

Mixed/Yoplait for quick fix instead of pudding snack.

Fruit on the bottom taste best.

[TheChileanBlob]

Remember the Dannon fruit-on-the-bottom with the waxed paper lids? My favorites were raspberry and boysenberry. Man, that stuff was great. It's not the same now.

[WhyNot]

Of the two, I prefer on the bottom because on the bottom yogurts have at least a fighting chance of being actual yogurt, and not some fat free gelatinous blech filled with artificial flavors and sweeteners in frightening colors.

But I'd actually rather have plain greek yogurt with a drizzle of honey.

I generally go with Stonyfield Farms with the fruit on the bottom. One of these days I'll learn to make my own.

It is, literally, easier than falling off a log (logs are scary and it's hard to make yourself fall on purpose). We just don't go through it fast enough for me to bother anymore. http://homecooking.about.com/od/dair...r/bldairy9.htm

I buy plain full fat yogurt, and add dried fruit to it. It sets overnight, then just before lunch the bran buds go in for a healthy, crunchy part of my noon meal.

[RealityChuck]

Greek-style yogurt, of course.

[gallows fodder]

I like plain Greek yogurt that I can stir my own jam and fresh fruit into.

[MsRobyn]

I mostly eat Greek yogurt these days, which is virtually all FotB. This works for me because I can mix it up or not however I want. When I'm at home, though, I mix plain nonfat Greek yogurt with vanilla, Splenda, cinnamon, and whatever fresh fruit or applesauce I have. Tasty and none of the sugar of the regular stuff.

[Maeglin]

Plain Greek yogurt for me as well. Sometimes I add a pinch of sugar for texture or a bit of cardamom, but I usually take it as is.

[Broomstick]

I just don't like yogurt. There are some sauces with yogurt in them I like, but for those you don't really taste the yogurt.

[Patty O'Furniture]

Any kind is okay, as long as it's yogurt and not yoghurt. The latter sounds too painful.

[Mona Lisa Simpson]

Plain Greek yogurt , preferably with blue berries or other berries, if not with some other sliced fruit. (figs were fantastic). I ate this daily for about 3 months, then stopped when I got to the point I couldn't eat a bite. Time to start again though, but maybe not every day. It made an easy "meal" with museli or granola to have on my night shifts. Not too heavy, but gave me energy to get through my shift, and if you put frozen berries in it the yogurt freezes up enough. It was kind of a nice frozen yogurt treat midway through my shift.

[jsgoddess]

I don't like jam or anything jam-like, so I don't like fruit on the bottom.

[Implicit]

Vanilla low fat, no sugar added yogurt, and I add my own frozen berries.

[standingwave]

Greek yogurt, plain or perhaps vanilla. I like to stir in some granola and perhaps some blueberries.

[Left Hand of Dorkness]

We usually buy plain yogurt and stir in a spoonful of jam. Same concept as FOTB, but it's cheaper, and you don't get that weird curdled layer between the yogurt and the fruit.

[hogarth]

I've had good examples of both kinds, but I don't think I've ever had a really bad "fruit on the bottom" yogurt. I've had some pretty crappy blended stuff, though.

Same here. I have tried many different brands and varieties, but for the most part, I don't like yogurt. I like TCBY frozen yogurt, but that sort of defeats the purpose of eating yogurt. As for the trend of using frozen yogurt instead of ice cream/ice milk in "milkshakes", Do Not Want. It tastes sour and sometimes even soapy, and again, if the yogurt is frozen then I'm not getting the live culture, so why bother?

I've had a few dishes that used yogurt in them that I actually liked. There's a gelatin dessert, and deviled eggs with yogurt instead of mayo. For the most part, though, I've quit even trying to find a yogurt that I'll eat. Instead, I take probiotic chewtabs.

[SCAdian]

When I hear the phrase "Greek yogurt," I think of the garlic yogurt I had the first time I visited Crete. Wonderful stuff....

[brainstall]

Astro Balkan style. Higher fat than most, not that I need the calories, but it just tastes really good for plain yogurt. Sometimes I add leftover cranberry sauce or maple syrup if I want more of a treat.
