Greek Yogurt

I don't know what it is but I cannot acquire the taste for Greek yogurt. I have eaten several diff. brands/types in the past but just can't do it now. I am also expecting and wonder if its more of a turn off than before. I was just wondering if I am alone on this as it seems like Greek style is all that everyone is eating.

Assuming you have tried different brands, have you tried different fat levels? Really the only difference between most greek/greek style yogurt and "regular" is that it's strained one additional time so it's thicker.

That being said I was not a fan of most until I tried the Fage 2% - it is a world of difference in flavor (it's rich, slightly tangy, and on the ones with the separate fruit/honey portion they recommend bending it to pour over the yogurt and then not stirring - the strawberry is  very similar to strawberry cheesecake like this) the 0% IMO was sour and not pleasant, 2% of fat made all the difference in the world.

I think I tried Fage once and didn't mind it. Thanks for the info, maybe I will try it one more time.
