I'm from a family where home-made yogurt was always in the
fridge. But even some of my old time relatives who are still hanging
in have resorted to buying store-bought instead of making their own.
I buy plain yogurt, but I prefer the regular, not the low fat or non
fat. In many easy to find plain commercial yogurts there is nothing
but cultured cream and milk. I can't understand why people buy the
fruit stuff when using plain and adding fruit is so much better. If a
person eats something just because it's healthy and they don't really
like the taste, they should find something else to eat. A little bit
of fat with a bunch of fruit is not bad. Hell, I even get those cheap
strawberry cakes and put real sour cream in them and top them with a
bunch of ripe cut up strawberries. Another easy one I learned from my
mother's side, which doesn't sound as good as it is, is putting a
dollop of real sour cream on top of a slice of blueberry of apple pie.
Better than ice cream I think.
