Yogurt

Once more with the dairy products.

Yogurt is a touchy subject for me. I like most yogurts, especially of the frozen variety, but they are again one of the more unappealing foods to look at or talk about. Gloppy, thick, usually chunky liquid goop. I can't imagine eating anything with those descriptors, but here we are. I am rather fond of yogurt, but I still cannot see why. Actually that's a lie, I like it because it tastes good and it's very simple to prepare.

Despite sounding disgusting, yogurt still manages to be one of the most widely accepted dairy products. It's easy to eat, easy to prepare (unless of course you have to make it yourself, then I have absolutely no idea) and generally pretty tasty. Something that it does not share with the other dairy products I've covered so far is that it's mostly eaten on its own. I don't know of any dishes which use yogurt, and I've never had a meal and thought, "This would be better with some extra yogurt"

So today I salute you, yogurt, as being a food for the ages.
