There is a British RP pronunciation audio file here:
It sounds like “YO-g@t” with the “@” representing a schwa to me. Two distinct syllables. The “r” is missing in the non-rhotic accent of RP. (And note this is one particular type of British accent, the ones that Americans usually think of when they think of “British” – other British accents pronounce the “r,” often as a tap or postalveolar approximant.)
For years my now-deceased first wife and I shared an in-joke. Whenever somebody was going on about their obscure dietary restrictions, their need for “health” food which usually back in the day meant a diet mostly of pills and wheat grass, etc., we’d comment “You need some macrobiotic goat yogurt to go with that.” Usually just shortened between us to “Macrobiotic goat yogurt”.
Like “nuke the gay whales”, it was shorthand that pointed out the silliness of the uber-fussy non-sensible eating of some folks.
Then when Whole Foods first burst on the scene we discovered they actually sell (or sold then) actual honest-to-Og goat yogurt. Not macrobiotic of course, since that’s actually a 99% vegetarian diet. But close enough for jokings’ sake.
Reality keeps passing my formerly over-the-top humor.
I like plain yogurt, and yogurt with almost any soft sour fruit (blueberry, raspberry, peach, mango, etc.) and yogurt with maple syrup. I don’t care for yogurt with coffee, vanilla, chocolate, or similar. They clash.
Heh. My gf has been “eating healthier” by adding things like chia seeds to her smoothies, etc. I do much of the cooking, and I’ve been calling her foods with crazy add-ins “Power” foods. So, she’ll ask me to make her a “Power Smoothie” for breakfast and I will.
On Sundays she likes me to make her an omelette, sometimes with eggs, other times with egg whites from a carton. This has led to her asking me for a “White Power-Omelette”.
OK, I had to quickly scan this thread to see if maybe I drunk posted in it and just didn’t remember.
The kitchen of bobot strictly forbids Gogurt. And yogurt, sour cream, cream cheese and “ranch” goop. Leaves more room for beer.
