It is something that has worked its way into our diet. I used to
occasionally buy one of those little containers of fruit yogurt as a
dessert. If I got the larger ones they usually turned into science
projects before I finished them. I have been eating it more regularly
over the last few years. It is a way for me to eat dairy without
suffering from the lactose. My usual breakfast these days is some cereal
and fruit with almond milk and vanilla yogurt. My wife likes plain
Balkan style yogurt with fruit.

I remember watching the Three Stooges and they often asked the milk man
for yogurt. I had no idea what it was. No one up here ate yogurt...
that I knew off. The Greek yogurt thing is relatively new here. It is
usually a thick, rich, almost sweet product. It's okay, and it sure
worked in those pancakes, but I have gone back to a runnier yogurt.
