I’ve never thought of yogurt as sour. Anyone ever tasted a sour beer? That’s sour.
Slight hijack here. Plain, full-fat yogurt makes the best biscuits in the world. I discovered this once when I had no buttermilk in the house, but I did have a pint of Fage full-fat.
I just substituted yogurt in for the buttermilk, and the biscuits came out very puffy and pillowy and light. Now this is my preferred method for the recipe.
Well, I also eat lemon slices, and that’s a lot more sour.
But in Turkey, there is a very popular yoghurt drink called ayran.
I like yogurt, but no gelatinized, low-fat or zero fat crap. Full fat tastes better. Right now, I’m partial to Icelandic skyr, with lingonberries. It has some sugar, but less than most brands.

As ways to ingest gut-beneficial bacteria go, it’s far better than sauerkraut! which I can’t tolerate. So Yay!! yogurt!
Another vote that “sour” is not like “acidic/tart”.
Sure, the commercial depicting a yogurt eater out of control is absurd, but I can top that one with a recent commercial in which the actor gets a rapturous smile from having eaten mustard of all things.
I like yoghurt. Which is how it’s spelled, by the way. Greek style.
I use it instead of sour cream, on nachos. It’s also good with a lot of middle-eastern foods. And in a lot of other places.
I’m not at all interested in concoctions containing some yoghurt and a lot of other crap. If I wanted ice cream, I’d eat ice cream. I don’t; if I want a sweet treat I’ll eat chocolate.
I don’t know if I’d call it “delicious”, but I eat it because I like it.
Greek style?
γιαούρτι
Transcribed for spelling “giaoúrti”
Transcribed for pronunciation [ʝaˈuɾti]
These would suggest an English transliteration perhaps of “yaurti” or “giaourti.”
So how is “yoghurt” a more Greek-style spelling than “yogurt”?
Yogurt with cucumber or “raita” is good as a codiment for Indian food too.
I am on board with Noosa and trader Joes whole yogurt. (They are 8 oz) Add fresh pineapple or blueberries, and it’s unbeatable as a snack.
I love Indian food, of which unsweetened yogurt is a standard base.
I mean, hell, sweet corn is gross with nothing else on it.
Siggi’s is a great brand, but I can’t let me cat get hold of any of it, even licking the lid, because it makes her projectile-vomit.
Youngsters. Rapturous? Doesn’t anyone remember Hai Karate Aftershave?
Tolstoy wrote that when he had enough of the rat race, he went to the steppes to breathe fresh air and drink kumiss.
ETA the implication being that it’s supposed to be healthy.
I’m another one who can’t stand non-fat yogurt, especially the over-sweetened ones that are commonly sold in the U.S.
Lately I’ve therefore been eating the full-fat yogurts with little or no sweetener, like FAGE (a Greek yogurt), or Siggi’s (an Icelandic type of yogurt also known as skyr).
As the website for Siggi’s notes, the founder of the brand thought “the yogurts he found on shelves in the U.S. were much too sweet and artificial for his liking.” I wholeheartedly agree.
I couldn’t agree more. Without fruit or something else to flavor it I have a hard time distinguishing yogurt from, say, sour cream.
In my estimation buttermilk is even worse. Yeah, I’ve had buttermilk biscuits and buttermilk pancakes and buttermilk waffles and thought all of them were fine. But buttermilk? Just plain buttermilk, to drink? Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! Just thinking about it makes me gag!
Hahahahahaha! Never thought anybody could get this angry at something that’s so white and bland. But - hahahahahahaha!
I make my biscuits with sour cream. I imagine it’s about the same texture and flavor.
