Total is a great basic Greek yoghurt. Lovely with Greek honey or mixed with muesli instead of milk. Super also just with some mint and salt. Garlic and cucumber optional for making tzatziki, obviously.

There are a few other varieties, that we only find when we're in Greece, which are solid and keep their shape, cut with a knife. Yum.

Dolloped on mbourghouri ...mmmm!


Yup ... love the stuff too ZoC. :D

The roots of the words are all Greek, Deniz. The arabinised forms are more commonly used since the Arabs did the bulk of the translations from Ancient Greek, in the middle ages.

I know, I know, I was after the etıology

rizin = rice

mbougouru = bulgur wheat/burghul

pellafin = pilav/pilaff etc. They are words in Turkish also. I was after Oracles...................Good football.
