Home Made Yoghourt

(Ronald Weaver) #1

I usually use full fat milk to make yoghourt using Greek yoghourt as a starter. However a voice was telling me to use a carton of of Normandie Full Creme, fat content 35%. So I did and it tasted sinfully delicious !
So, a few questions…
Was that the Devil talking to me and will I go to hell ?
What kind of nutritional value will this concoction have, and will I die if I eat any more ?

I’ve done it. It makes crème fraiche. The nutrition information is essentially the same as the full fat cream. It makes a nice garnish or sauce for meats.

I’ve made it, and it was delicious.

It was your guardian angel, and you will go to hell only if you want to.

It will be richer in fat and poorer in carbohydrate. You will not die; but your metabolism will speed up, and your nails and hair will grow faster, and you may find yourself sweating at night, because your body is wasting heat.

Seriously, the connection between fat intake and cardiovascular disease is not actually supported by any real evidence (and some of the evidence there is was fudged), and there is plenty of evidence to show that fat and cholesterol cannot possibly be the causes of cardiovascular disease.

Now, go and enjoy your yoghurt! :yum:

When I was making my own Bulgarian yoghurt I used to add 300ml extra cream to each batch and it was amazing…

OK, I’ll do that. So you’re saying this going to hell business is optional ? That’s good, I’ve always thought of hell as being the ultimate barbecue ! I hope there’s electricity there for my Sous-vide ?
Never actually fancied heaven much. Loafing about on clouds, playing harps and looking bored. Honestly, has anyone ever seen images of angels having a right good time ? Most of them look like attendees at a vegan conference !
But should I put an Irony disclaimer at the end of some of my posts ? I believe American Natural Good Manners kind of blocks out British irony and I really wouldn’t want to cause upset. Never forget the War of Jenkins’ Ear !!

Seriously though, Thanks for all your replies…

We can only hope. :grin:

However, according to Keith Laumer’s short story, “The Devil You Don’t,” Hell is a lot more fun than Heaven, so I suspect you’d be welcome to bring your sous-vide.
