I don't know how much you know about yogurt, so I apologize in advance if this sounds condescending; but yogurt has been eaten since at least the 5000s BC, and is easy to produce, probably even by accident. It's obtained by controlled souring of unpasteurized milk; clabber, which is almost too sour to be edible but is safe to eat if you can stand the taste, comes from spontaneous souring. Fernand Braudel (in The Structures of Everyday Life) talks of how it was the staple food of the poor in Turkey, and I think in Persia. US commercial yogurt is weak and sugary; the Eastern variety is much more lifelike. |
