Just like coffee and tea, I need you regularly

A friend of mine does PR for Yeo Valley, who make yoghurts. Or maybe she does blogging and copywriting for them. Or some form of other freelance stuff. Actually, I concede, I have no idea what it is she actually does for them. The net result, as far as I'm concerned, is that she sporadically wants me to go to her house and eat yoghurt and have opinions about it.

As a big fan of both yoghurt and having opinions, I quite enjoy it.

So, yesterday she made me close my eyes and eat various yoghurts. Which I did (having been assured that none of them were anchovy and hedgehog flavour). Then she pointed out she had 16 giant tubs of the stuff, including duplicates, and a husband who doesn't eat yoghurt, and would I please take some of the stuff away.

So I did. And can I just say that Yeo Valley Greek-style lemon and ginger yoghurt is The Business? It's extremely creamy, it's lemony (almost lemon curdy), and very, very slightly gingery. I've just had a bowl of it for breakfast, with granola[*], and I'm now contemplating second breakfast.

Or early lunch. Or something. It's a "limited edition" yoghurt, whatever the blithering Margaret that means, so I don't know how easy it'll be to track down in the shops. But I'd really recommend making the effort.

(No one is paying me to say this, by the way, it really is very nice.)

[*] all right, it wasn't granola at all, it was Co-Op muesli, but I sprinkled it on top of the yog in a very cool and California kind of way.

Generally limited edition yogurts seem to be available for 3 to 6 months across the country, and if they're *very* popular they sometimes return as full-time flavours, if they're slightly popular they sometimes have another limited run, and if not they vanish never to be seen again. Muller seem to be very fond of them.

Lemon and ginger does sound fantastic though - all too many yogurts these days seem to be over-sweetened to my taste though.

(Today's breakfast was stewed rhubarb with rhubarb yogurt and a sprinkle of muesli on top. Perhaps I too am cool and Californian, with a Yorkshire twist :)

I concede that the lemon one was sweet, but I felt it worked ok. Sweet like a lemon pudding, but still lemony enough not to be sickly.

Your breakfast sounds great - I also tried the Yeo Valley rhubarb yoghurt (a little too sweet for my taste) and the raspberry one (which I actually didn't recognise, because it tasted like raspberries rather than oversweetened raspberry-flavoured things). I also tried a million other flavours, but I'll spare you the details :)
