I buy either plain non-fat or low fat Greek yogurt. It's thicker and richer than regular. I get plain because the stuff that has other stuff added to it is usually way high in sugar.
I like to mix in frozen fruit (or fresh in season), but it's really good with frozen berries. I'll also mix in some good cinnamon (it's GOOD for you) and maybe some honey if the fruit isn't sweet enough.
I have never had duck, but have always wanted to try it. I love every other fowl, so figure I would duck, too.
Yes, the sugar or whatever they add instead of sugar is pretty ridiculous. I spend a lot of time reading labels before comitting to buy anything. Berries is a good idea, and honey when I move up to completely unsweetened yoghurt.
I don't usually like strong-tasting meats, not even dark meat on chicken, so I was really surprised that I enjoyed duck. :D
I really like yogurt but it's definitely hit or miss based on the brand. I tend to by a local brand that's thicker and has a bit of texture. Museili or granola is a great mix-in to give it more flavor/texture.
Sarah Haskins freaking rocks. I was so depressed when she left Infomania. The new woman (I'm spacing her name) does some funny stuff but Haskins rocks.
I have to admit that I stopped watching once Sarah Haskins left! Naughty. I should try some local yoghurt brands though, good idea. I need to go to the yuppie small-producers market more often.
I'm a yogurt whore, but not that nasty sweet corn-syrupy commercial nonsense. There are a lot of dairies around here that do Greek-style yogurt, which is nice and thick and tangy, and excellent for cooking. I also like it with some fruit and crunchy granola bits.
DUCK IS THE BEST THING EVER, OMG. If you visit the States, I am dragging you to Atlantic City, where I had the most amazing Peking duck of my life.
I've had ups and downs in my relationship with yoghurt, but I have developed a weakness for it. Low-fat natural yoghurt mixed with cinnamon (=/- a little sugar, it's up to you) is really nice. :)
A friend is lactose intolerant and is apparently making her own (soya? idk) yoghurt - I think you have to get the culture from somewhere and then once you have a batch, you use a little of it to get the next batch going, so it's like a perpetual motion machine of... yohurt. /more than you wanted to know
My dad used to make yoghurt. I think yoghurt makers were the next big home appliance after bread makers, haha. I'm not going to go down the soy route just yet. My sister has worse lactose intolerant and she makes soy milk smoothies (without yoghurt) that are quite nice, but I don't care much for soy milk generally and don't see a need to use it... yet.

Deal! I've never had Peking Duck either. I'm a little scared of all the fat and skin, but I'll give it a go. :D

I, too, can only tolerate yoghurt when its texture is disguised with some nice muesli. :D
