Taking the Strain

Take any bog standard yoghurt, the cheaper the better and turn it into a thick luxury Greek yoghurt that could rival Fage (pronounced fa-yeh if you're that way inclined), I used Lancashire Farm I paid £1.15 for 1kg from Herons.
I chose the fat free one deliberately, knowing it'll be like piss.

Take a muslin cloth or if you're cheap like me, use a double layer dish cloth, clean of course straight out of it's packet and place it inside a sieve, tip the yoghurt into the cloth lined sieve and rest it on a bowl large enough to allow the yoghurt to drain and then just leave it in the fridge over night.

In the morning you'll have yoghurt precum! Doesn't it look vile? It looks yellow in the photograph but it was green, proves that the cows are grass fed.
 
The end result, so thick you can cut it with a knife.

  1. Interesting. I'm not much of a yoghurt eater, but I might try this just for fun.

    1. You could salt it and let it drain for a bit longer, add chopped chives and spread it on a cracker.

  2. I'm glad to see this spree of posts from you. In the future, please try to work in the word "knickers" somewhere.

  3. If you add a couple of letters to "Fage" you have "flange."

    1. I overheard a conversation my gran had with her friend who was complaining about her chapped flanges, just as I was entering the room with the tea things. Strange how things like that stay in the memory.

      Add a D in the middle of it and you have "fadge" not a word you should drop in polite company, unless you are referring to Irish fadge cakes, a type of potato pancake, my grandad loved to sink his teeth into my Gran's hot buttered fadge. Talking of which I nearly posted a photograph of my Grandma and Grandad in bed together in a caravan, smoking. I thought better of it. Very Coronation Street!

    2. Fadge is new to me. Let it be said that this blog is educational.

      I have a clear image now of your gran and grandad in bed together so no need for a photo. Very Corrie indeed!

    1. The poor people of America who have to go on those humiliating programmes as a last resort, because they can't afford medical treatment is truly shocking. I can't stomach haferbrei since watching Dr Pimplepopper.
