anyone else besides indian people make yogurt at home?

Nope. They're the only ones. The Yoplait family of Bombay started it. Carried forward by the Dannon family of Calcutta. I hear it's actually illegal to make it if you're not Indian.

 

LMAO.. I got to hand it to you, that was hilarious.

 

I make p*rn yogurt.

 

Persian people do. My mom does.

 

p*rn yogurt?

 

Yeah same here, my mom does all the time.
I think she makes it more than she buys it actually.
Guess it's a Persian thing haha.

 

my female Korean friend does.

 

Lots of Asians make yogurt, but I think some European cultures do it as well.

 

I turn yogurt into cheese. Oddly, I usually buy the yogurt in these huge tubs from this little indian store next to my house. I think the place sells more bootlegged DVDs/CDs than food. *shrugs*

 

well obviously not

 

yogurt necklace?

 

tell me..... how does one go about making yogurt?

 

My wife makes yogurt too. But, she's a cook and wants to make everything herself. She'd grow the wheat and mill it to make bread if I let her.

 

Your wife is a cook? You lucky SOB! Dinner at Juan's place tonight!!

 

Well DUH! its indian

 

Dinner and some excellent coffee. Lucky!

 

And why won't you? Sounds awesome.

 

She can make her own bread (we have her sourdough culture in the fridge). But wheat will take up a lot of space in the yard that the kids could use for playing (we already have area staked off for her vegetables, plus a couple fruit trees). Plus, the dog would probably trample it. Plus, neither of us are good gardeners and we kill 80% of what we plant. Plus, buying a mill would cost a couple hundred bucks if we can actually manage to harvest the wheat. And, in the end, I suspect we'd end up with flour that is inferior in quality and much more expensive than what we could buy in the store at a moment's notice.

Besides that, this is just the tip of the iceberg. She also wants to slaughter her own chickens, grow her own grapes for wine (we've made wine from other fruits and we've started growing grapes but have not yet tried to make wine from the grapes in the yard -- and Houston is a terrible wine-growing region), make her own cheese, make her own country ham (won't that be nice to open my shed to get the lawn-mower and have a 10 lb hunk of pork hanging from the rafter in a net?), cure her own beef. Where will the madness end?
