What Do You Know About Frozen Yogurt?

February 6, 2008

Today is National Frozen Yogurt Day, and although I'm not sure why a day in winter is set aside for a frozen treat, I do know that frozen yogurt is definitely enjoying a resurgence. Since it's becoming so popular again, I thought I'd see how much you actually know about it. Source

small correction for the 1rst question: the first industrial production of yogurt was created in 1922 in Spain, Madrid by Danone...as for the concept of yogurt it goes to 5000 BC...

The use of yoghurt by mediaeval Turks is recorded in the books Diwan Lughat al-Turk by Mahmud Kashgari and Kutadgu Bilig by Yusuf Has Hajib written in the eleventh century. In both texts the word "yoghurt" is mentioned in different sections and its use by nomadic Turks is described. The first account of a European encounter with yoghurt occurs in French clinical history: Francis I suffered from a severe diarrhea which no French doctor could cure. His ally Suleiman the Magnificent sent a doctor, who allegedly cured the patient with yoghurt

Perfect score! Probably because I've loved yogurt (and frozen yogurt) my entire life! One of my favorite foods.

6 out of 6. Yee haaa! I can't eat ice cream but could manage frozen yogurt now and then because of the cultures. But even that would sometimes make me sick. Then I discovered Tasti D-Lite and there's no turning back for me. It's lighter, more flavors and never, ever makes me sick. But I've always wanted to try the Forty Carrots frozen yogurt at Bloomingdales because I've heard it's really good, as nillawafer said.

Now I want Jubili Fro-yo - its way better than the ultra sweet Pinkberry. Pinkberry needs to stay out of SF.

I fell in love with frozen yogurt when I went to palm springs. SO SO SO goooodd!! Too bad all of the places in SF suck. I have to go all the way to the tree place at the Walnut Creek mall. Great I really want some now this blows!

Actually - Frozen Yogurt month is June and Frozen Yogurt day is June 1st. I wonder where they got this info - AND - Pinkberry and those other new spots - while delish, are not considered Frozen Yogurt (they aren't allowed to call it that). To be a yogurt, you have to meet some sort of standards given by the dairy board - something about cultures in the yogurt!

For some reason I only crave ice cream and cold desserts in winter (?) weird. Haven't had frozen yogurt in years, working in a yogurt shop was one of my first jobs though!

wow. this is one of the more brilliant marketing schemes. "I'm not sure why a day in winter is set aside for a frozen treat" EXACTLY!! I am sure frozen yogurt sales are not peaking right now, so why not make up a little 'holiday' for them to make extra money during the slower months!

pinkberry is just so good...it has the sour taste of real plain yogurt :-) the frozen yogurt at Forty Carrots in the NYC Bloomingdales is also very good!
