The pasta itself should taste good. Put the whole wheat somewhere else but not in my pasta. I happen to like whole wheat pasta just fine, and from what I gather it’s definitely healthier, but I can understand being turned off by the texture. But when you talked about flavor, you lost me. Pasta has flavor? I thought that was the sauce’s job. The pasta’s job is as a delivery system for the sauce. > [@](#): > > #4) Greek yogurt-stop trying to convince me that this is some new wonderful food. It’s just like yogurt only more so. All the thing I dislike about regular yogurt, the sourness, the texture, are multiplied in greek yogurt. If I liked yogurt I would like it but I don’t like yogurt and there is nothing about greek yogurt that makes it more appealing. I _like_ yogurt, but I’ve never quite _trusted_ it, and I find Greek yogurt even more suspicious, looking all congealed as it does, like what you would get if you left a bowl of milk sitting out for a couple of weeks. And no one’s ever been able to explain to me what Greek yogurt _is_—what makes it Greek, what’s different about it—except that doesn’t “Greek” mean “anal”? So I’ve never been able to give it a fair trial. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/food-trends-that-can-stop-right-now/666740)._
