While I had always heard of Yokurt, by the early 70’s I had never tried any. While on assignment at one of the Alaska Pipeline construction camps I finally tried some. I was sitting in the lounge area and noticed some of the other workers were getting these little cups out of a cooler. All sorts of goodies were available for the workers anytime they wanted them and without cost. It looked good so I went over and grabbed a little cup for myself. I opened it up and took a bite. Yuk! It didn’t taste very good to me, so I tossed it in the trash can and went back to my book. Pretty soon, another man retrieved a cup and sat down next to me. I noticed that he first stirred the cup with a spoon and the contents gained some color.
So – I tried it again, this time stirring the creamy mixture. I discovered that the fruit was in the bottom of the cup and once stirred together, it tasted real good.
I have loved Yokurt ever since!
