I'm feeling very un-(bacterially) cultured...
What the hell is up with yogurt in this country?
I was recently in England, where I was exposed to all manner of mouth-watering and fantastic flavours of yogurt: fig and greek honey, plum, apple pie (delicious, people, delicious!), damson, and rhubarb. Even in low fat flavours!
Yogurt, in short, to get genuinely excited about and pledge life-long devotion to.
And now, have just returned from Loblaws, where the most exciting flavour on offer appeared to be banana. In disgust, I've just eaten a tepid and unsatisfying cherry Silouette.
What's behind this national short-coming? Are we to blaim the North American obssession with dieting (which the "would you like some toast with your pancakes?" British definitely do NOT share) and, hence, elimiting taste?
Do we feel we have no national fruits worthy of specialty yogurt status? What about maple yogurt? What about gooseberry? What about tortiere yogurt? (Ok, maybe not tortiere yogurt.)
Or is there some place where one can get such exotic flavours, and it's only me who is in the dark?
People of Canada, enlighten me.
