Pre-packaged, shredded cheese and yogurt

[kc7jty]

Take up 30 feet (top to bottom) of refrigerated shelf space at a large, popular, local supermarket.
Almost every time I'm there some employee is busily restocking hundreds of the 6oz individual yogurt cups.
I know damn well only a few are packing these things into a box lunch.
Money sez the same idiots that buy this stuff (I buy plain yogurt in the 32 oz container) MUST do the full speed limit to within 75 feet of a just turned red light.


"Natural" my ass...
Kraft cheese that's NOT shredded already tastes like the fucking plastic wrapper it comes in.

Why the hell would anyone buy pre-shredded cheese. I mean seriously, how frigging lazy can you possibly be.

And I rarely buy Yogurt, I make my own. I haven't found a good commercial source of real yogurt such as traditional style Greek yogurt. I simply can't stand the thin watery crap they attempt to pass off as yogurt at the grocery store..

There's absolutely nothing at the grocery store that can come close to matching a spoonful of homemade strawberry preserves drizzled over a scoop of thick creamy homemade Greek style yogurt. Well maybe some home made Tzatziki freshly made with home made yogurt and garden fresh cucumbers, dill and garlic.

All prepackaged cheese is offal, buy a proper piece of cheese and grate yourself, that is what i do.
Yogurt, plain, add anything you prefer yourself, like fresh strawberries etc, then you will get a real taste not colourings and taste chemicals.

i love the grated mozzarella - it doesn't look like mozzarella or taste like it, but i can eat a whole bag of it NOM!

I agree—I hate shredded yogurt too. It's so messy.

I went looking for some images of cheese grater accidents from vigorously grating yoghurt. Found this... do not follow if easily disturbed

homemade Greek style yogurt.

I'm planning to start making my own as well. Can you give any tips?
I'm thinking of using wide mouth qt canning jars in warm water in an igloo cooler.

I don't think it's possible to grate the kind of Mozzarella I know. In Brit land it may be a different story?

Same stuff - I don't know how they get away with calling it mozzarella.
