Oh Yogurt, where have you been all my life? I find you now, and I cannot believe my tongue. You taste so fine, and breakfast is now a joy how could I have missed such a wonderful experience?
Low fat is crap, Jack. Give me pure, unrefined Yogurt goodness

I haven't tried thiers yet, but I'm really into Dannon Fruit on the Bottom yogurt. It's really freaking yummy.

My concern with products such as Trix yogurt is a slight fear they may taste like candy. I hate foods that taste like candy. The Nature Valley mixed berry granola bars taste like they're made with fruit rollups. I hate that.

Dannon is the yogurt that is banned from this house because Jes hates it and has to eat it everyday. He doesn't like "chunks" of fruit, meaning itty bitty pieces.
So he gets Lucerne which is locally made. I personally like the custard-style yoplait.

My only problem with yogurt is that it is so much more expensive than the same amount of milk. So, since I like and drink lots of milk, it is not a nutritional thing for me as much as it is a treat.

I thought I knew yogurt until I got to France. There, I discovered the beauty of plain yogurt. You mix in a little powdered sugar (I like using raw or brown sugar) and it's to die for. The yoplait there actually comes in plain with a little packet of sugar to mix in. You'll never go back to pre-sweetened.
If you gotta do pre-sweetened, you gotta do lemon. Citrus and dairy - they just shouldn't work together. It's a bit of illicit fun!

Americans are far too fluffy. In their yogurt, their ice cream, their bread, their television, their cheese, their cake, their politics, their chocolate..

I ate at Johnny Carino's the other day and the bread made me cry. Europeans don't eat soft bread. Nor is Frank Sinatra Italian enough to have his picture up all over the restaurant.

For everyday, we eat the Trader Joe's Organic Vanilla yogurt. Great on Kashi or granola. For a treat though I like the little tubs of Brown Cow Cream Top vanilla. Way higher in fat though. My daughter the lactose intolerant likes the Whole Soy cultured yogurt like product, which I can unfortunatley only find in little tubs. Bev, there actually in a nutritional advantage to yogurt over milk. Yogurt contains live active cultures ( any on worth your money anyway) which help normalize gut flora. That's why you are often told to eat yogurt when you're prescibed anti-biotics.

The French do not know how to do coffee. (Let me take a moment to point out this random thought.) In France, you have this iddy-biddy cup of coffee with no half-and-half in it. If you *want* half-and-half you have to walk to the dairy and settle for milk. What they drink, the cafe au lait, is actually warm milk with dehydrated coffee crystals.

Um, this is the correct way to drink coffee.
Americans don't know how to make coffee. American coffee is swill.

I haven't eaten yogurt since we got back from Iceland almost 4 years ago. We had breakfast at the hotel every morning and I would eat giant bowls full of yogurt. It was strawberry every day and it was so smooth and creamy. It reminded me of the scene in The Last Battle where they first get to Aslan's country and eat the essence of fruit - I felt like I was eating the essence of yogurt.
What about cafe au lait - isn't that French?
I love cafe con leche and I can't wait to have one in La Rosita, the best Cuban restaurant in NYC (Bway btwn 107th and 108th), the next time I'm in town.

What do you mean, French yogurt sucks?! I only wish I could find anything like it in the States. Same with French cheese.
