Am I the only one that hates yogurt?

I don't care for yogurt either, but have realized the probiotics help me a lot. The trick for me is to pretend it is sour cream - so use plain, and top soups or tacos with it in a savory way, not sweet.

I hope you just got some chocolate ice cream instead. There are no health benefits to dessert-flavored yogurts and I'm baffled by the amount of people who think eating Light n' Fit yogurt is somehow good for them.

I'm with you. I don't like any kind of tangy sweet flavor like that. Yogurt, cheesecake, cream cheese frosting. All yuck to me. I can literally count on my fingers the number of foods that I don't like, but yogurt is probably the top. I can't even stand the smell.

Oh good, our China Study brainwashed poster is here!

I just cannot develop a taste for the tartness of unsweetened yogurt (even with honey or jam stirred in), and once you're eating the dessert yogurts, what's the point?

Noosa is so good. The mango, coconut, and lemon flavors are excellent. I agree, though that most yogurts are not very good.

Me too. I despise yogurt, except the kind you get with Indian food. THAT is delicious!

I don't like it either.

I pretty much dislike all sweet yogurts -- whether they are the dannon/Yoplait with "fruit" types or the frozen yogurt type of things you get at pinkberry and stores like that; I hate the tangy/sour taste of pinkberry, no matter what flavor.

I also like the yogurt that you get with Middle Eastern or Indian food (raita for Indian; no idea what it's called for Middle Eastern); that leads me to believe I like the "salted" yogurts -- probably bc salty/garlicky/tangy is a better combination that sweet and tangy (at least to me).

Me three! Can't stand the yogurts found in the grocery store, but give me a papadum and a bowl of yogurt at an Indian restaurant and I'm happy!

Noosa is good. The one with the passionfruit curd is my favorite. La Petite Creme is technically just a really delicately flavored soft cheese; I like that one, too.

I think this is my third post - evidently I have stronger feelings about yogurt than I thought. It used to taste better before it all became low fat.

No - you are not the only one. I hate all yogurt that is sold in this country. The gelatinous goo, the texture and the taste, it is enough for me to swear off it permanently.

But, since I come from a yogurt or curd eating culture, I use authentic, organic culture, to set my own yogurt at home, every single night. There is a big difference in taste and texture between store bought and fresh made. I only make plain yogurt. If I need it to be flavored, I add what I want, after the yogurt is set.

It is good for you - but no one likes to eat something that tastes vile. Taste the fresh homemade yogurt and you will become addicted.

Yogurt I don't mind. I like it with Indian food too.

How does one make this perfected yogurt? Does it take long? Is there a recipe link you approve of? Do share..
