Is there anyone else here who likes yogurt? Plain white yogurt? I love it. I ate an entire 750g container in the last two days. ---

I’m with you. Plain or flavoured, I like all kinds. ---

I only eat the plain stuff if it is over the fruit jelly crap. Never the jelly crap, or only buying plain yougurt, always scraping the plain off the top of the “fruit on the bottom”. I don’t know why, I’m odd in so many ways I have stopped pondering several. ---

IMHO, the fruit just makes the yogurt taste disgustingly sweet, plain yogurt is great for upset tummies, and just snacking on. ---

Mmmm, yogurt … I like plain or vanilla or lemon the best, not the kind with fruit. I find American yogurt to be very watery though, so I drain the whey through cheesecloth. This reduces the volume of the yogurt to about half of what it was before draining. It comes out much thicker than normal American yogurt - more like what is sold in Europe (MUCH better dairy products over there!). Then I mix in a couple of Equals. Yum yum yummy! ---

Missbunny: My momma uses that cheesecloth procedure to make wonderful desserts. She also makes her own yogurt (which is, however, somewhat wheyier than I like). ---

I really try to like yogurt because I know it’s a lot healthier than some other quick breakfast options. I have tried a lot of different brands and flavors, but they are all just too sweet, and I can never finish even the small container. Maybe the plain is the way to go. What else can you mix with yogurt besides fruit? ---

Yogurt wouldn’t be so bad mixed with nice, fresh fruit, but mix it with that sickeningly sweet stuff that comes out of a tube, and you got problems. ---

Mix with yogurt? Look up tsatziki! Cucumber, garlic, dill. Also a salad of sliced cucumber, yogurt, and mint is great with a nice hot curry. Or make tandoori chicken. Marinate the chicken in yogurt with hot curry powder (or use a good garam masala) with extra cumin and chili paste, then broil or barbecue. ---

A little sprinkle of brown sugar is nice, too. ---

Yogurt? Bleah! Awful stuff. Bleah, bleah, bleah. Foul in _any_ configuration. Allow me to recite a little poem about yogurt I whipped together in the last 30 seconds: Yogurt is vile Yogurt is icky Yogurt is evil And it’s just too sticky. ---

Mmmmm…yogurt! I love the stuff! At work I buy yogurt and fruit, slice the fruit up, mix it together and eat up! I do that with vanilla yogurt…heaven! ---

I love yogurt, plain(with a bit of sugar is nice though), and especially on curry. Mmmmmm, yogurt with curry. Now I’m hungry, thanks a lot guys. ---

I love yogurt too! But, only the smooth and creamy kind. Can’t stand to have lumps of anything in my yogurt. Even if I know it is fruit it still bothers me. I HATE the sugar free kind. ---

missbunny: I was refering to the stuff at the bottom of the yogurts with plain yogurt on top and fruit on the bottom. That fruit is like pure jelly, and these immense tubes just sorta squeeze it into the yogurt. Utterly disgusting. ---

Yogurt. Yummy, yummy, yummy. Good with fruit, dried fruit, chopped nuts and especially cereal. It’s the only thing to eat cereal with. Milk makes cereal too soggy. Yogurt keeps cereal crunchie. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/yogurt/24095.md?page=2)
