What is the point of layered yoghurts?

[Orang Utan]

Overweight people with diabetic people in their family

Fair dos. I never look at ingredients or nutritional info.

 

[JimW]

Yoghurt, the silent killer.

Yoghurt, the killer with a silent "h".

 

[Tankus]

Neither did I


Sez the fat diabetic

Because that's a normal sized portion.

Look at the nutrition on that thing: 18g of sugar per 100g, and there's 150g in a pot. That's well over half the recommended daily intake of sugar.

You're supposed to have a lovely little bit every day for a week.

Yeah. That's what I definitely do.

I know those yoghurts are bad for you, I don't buy them very often. I buy Yayla 10% fat. Nicest yoghurt ever (Total is nicer actually, but it's pricey).

 

[Corax]

Cheese then beans, then more cheese on top.

 

[Orang Utan]

I quite like those 0% plain yoghurts too. With some big granule sugar added. Just for the grit, you know.

I've not tried it yet, but you can make your own Greek yoghurt quite easily.

Get normal yoghurt -> put in cheesecloth -> Hang for a couple of hours -> Home-made Greek yoghurt

You can make the normal yoghurt yourself, too. Buy some nice live yoghurt -> Heat up some milk -> Add tablespoon of shop yoghurt -> Put it somewhere warm for a couple of hours -> Home made yoghurt

I've never had one that didn't taste better all mixed up. Does it cost less to manufacture, but somehow look exotic so a higher price can be charged? I bet transparent pots are cheaper too.

Do you mash all your dinner together before eating it?

0% fat, not 0% sugar.

 

[Orang Utan]

0% fat, not 0% sugar.

Yes. Though they are also 0% sugar before I get involved

My mun used to make it in a massive thermos flask

 

[Orang Utan]

Proper Greek yoghurt with Greek honey is one of the lushest tastes ever

No added sugar, surely? Even plain yoghurt has naturally occurring sugars..

 

[Fez909]

5% sugar in 0% Total yoghurt

 

[Manter]

I like layered yoghurts. Though I discovered today that Pret chocolate mousse has fewer calories than Pret berry layered yoghurt. That rocked my world view a little bit

 

[Orang Utan]

Yeah, but not, you know, sugar sugar. Sweet sugar.

RIP in Peace, OU's pancreas

 

[Orang Utan]

S'ok. I don't eat pudding very often

 

[kabbes]

You won't need to if you think that something containing 6% of your sugar GDA has no sugar and then add more sugar to it...

No, but I kid. You know your own waistline, I'm sure.

Do you mash all your dinner together before eating it?

Of course not, you've missed the point. Children eat their dinner one ingredient at a time but as their taste matures and their palate develops they begin to eat several different items from their plate in the same mouthful. It provides variation in taste and texture.

That doesn't mean a true gourmet turns into Mr Creosote and has everything all mixed up in a bucket. With the eggs on top.

Some meals lend themselves to eating by ingredient, some do not. Yoghurt does not.

 

[Artaxerxes]

What's the official line on the fruit corner, then?

Delicious, apart from the banana choco flakes one, strawberry cheescake is amazing

 

[innit]

Cheese then beans, then more cheese on top.

Beans then cheese.

I like layered yoghurts. I like choosing how much yoghurt and fruit to have in each spoonful. the marks and spencers "extremely fruity" ones are particularly fine for a treat.

[iona]

Is it just me who eats the yoghurt and the fruit separately then?

 

[Pickman's model]

Beans then cheese.

beans AND cheese simultaneous

A food separatist!

 

[StoneRoad]

Don't eat any sort of yoghurts - I'm intolerant to something in them .......... so this sort of passes me by.
But I reckon these fancy yoghurts, and the tiny pots in multipacks are just ploys to get your money into the shop tills.

I'm concerned that this might be interpreted as what the hell. It's worse than Hitler.

 

[DotCommunist]

Its all about the muller crunch corner yo

I'm not a food separatist of the bean ramekin variety! More of a food deconstructionist..
