> 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.

Plus, the way some people spell it “yoghurt” just adds to my suspicion. I want to pronounce it “yog” (rhymes with “dog”) + “hurt” (as in Ouch!), but I’m not sure that’s right.
