It’s a long story, I hope you are sitting comfortably…
Recently we decided to change supermarkets. There are some problems that can be encountered when doing this – you don’t know the shop layout, and they don’t stock your favourite cereal, biscuits or beer. You gradually learn the layout (we had to ask to find out where they kept the mustard) and usually you can find a suitable substitute for your favourite products. All has gone well with the change except for our choice of yogurts.
Muller Vitality has been a long term favourite of the whole family. Sold in packs of six and quite often you could buy two packs at a low special offer price. A range of flavours are available that suited us all. Unfortunately our new supermarket does not stock Vitality and we have had to embark on a major research project to find suitable alternatives.
We have tried the own brand (normal low fat and also organic), Ski, and some others that scored so low on the Smith Yogurt Suitability Scale (SYSS) that I can’t remember their names.
We have had some success – Longley Farm do some flavours that went down well with Nick. He likes the Hazelnut and the Black Cherry, this latter one being his favourite Black Cherry yogurt when compared against other brands. The Vanilla also passed the test, but he didn’t like the Rhubarb and nobody liked the Strawberry which although it obviously had fruit in it, it had been mashed to a pulp, whereas we’d like to be able to bite a piece of fruit from a yogurt even if it has been chopped up small. The Strawberry flavour also tasted strongly of lemon, or more precisely the acid from lemons. We weren’t impressed. Longley Farm do produce other flavours but the supermarket doesn’t stock them, which is a shame.
We have now moved on to test the large (450g or 500g) pots. I’m always attracted by an offer and these are just £1 per pot at the moment.
The first to be tested were Rachel’s. The Vanilla proved to be "OK, but not as ‘vanilla-ary’ as Longley Farms" (Nick), and "Good, the less strong vanilla taste is preferable" (Andy). I haven’t tried this one yet, so I’ve got a second pot so I can test it. I also bought Rachel’s Apricot, because this is one of my favourite flavours. I enjoyed this very much. The consistency was good and there was plenty of fruit in small pieces. I’d definitely buy this one again. We also tried Onken’s Mango, Papaya and Passion Fruit which was a hit with all of us. Full of flavour and plenty of fruit, I bought a second pot this morning.
So waiting for a first taste test in the fridge is the Onken Strawberry. Fingers crossed that there are proper fruit pieces in the yogurt.

re distinguished from all the kindred fami-lies to which they are allied, in their internal organic texture, bythe single characteristic that they have solely one-celled spores orseeds. The species of this family, most important for our consid-eration, are the Wheat Brayid, the Oat Brand, the Barley Brand,the Maize and Millet Brands. All these species habitate onlyin the family of the grasses, and of our cultivated grasses rye isonly to be distinguished as that species on which, up to this time,there has with certainty been found no true species of brand, anobservation which was first made by Prof. Kunze of Leipsic, andwhich I have thus far found confirmed in almost all parts of Cen-tral Europe, although many writers speak of the rye brand asone of the most common appearances. In the level country ofGermany and Austria, besides the red stalk rust ( Uredo rubigo)and the stalk brand {Puccinia graminis), no brand is found onrye; and it is only in the mountainous regions which are cloucJy
