    Would the parliament in Athens be called the Con Greece?

    @Lizzie is there more to the yoghurt than just milk and milk powder? Does it have to be strained? Some recipes online say that the milk should be heated and cooled - do you do this?

    Add the powered to the fresh milk, heat slowly for as period of time, cool slightly, add spoon of yogurt as culture and keep at warm temperature for a few hours (I find oven with light on works well)

    There are recipes all over the internet

    Thanks @Lizzie - the recipes I was finding online all involved straining the yoghurt.

    Probably goes some way towards explaining the lack of sugar on supermarket shelves ATM. Maybe a high sugar diet wards off CV-19 but makes you susceptible to diabetes and CV-19. Good grief.... :oops:

    Look up "how do I make my Greek yogurt thicker". The straining is what you can do to thicken it ... or add the powdered milk at the start

    Here’s Jalna’s reply (5am are very silent lol):
    “thanks for getting in touch and we're so sorry about this! We are aware of it and are doing all we can to rectify the packaging situation. We really appreciate your support, our customers are the best! Kind regards Jalna”

    Pretty much no different to Aldi making their own brands and selling side by side with the originals.

    I think it is, I’ve never accidentally bought an Aldi brand product, the packaging isn’t so similar that you’d make the mistake.

    Different shaped and sized jars still, and different shaped logos, I wouldn’t mistake those two. The jalna and five:am are exactly the same size and shape tub.

    Hetty, Jalna used to label that product 'Greek Style Yoghurt' - I have an empty container sitting in my shed. Now they call it Greek Yoghurt. I bet nothing changed apart from the label.
