Yum - Fermented Foods

I LOVE fermented foods (yoghurt, buttermilk, kefir, kombucha, kimchi, sauerkraut, etc.) and have seriously been considering refining our diets (especially mine, Spencer's and Xavier's) based on the Body Ecology Diet.

Cultures for Health is having a great giveaway right now for free starters. I am psyched about entering. Go to Kelly the Kitchen Kop for details.

I already make our own yoghurt, cottage cheese, bread and most baked goods, so I am not worried about all the fermenting required by the diet. More later when I finally decide what I am doing.

I like fermented beverages.

Anytime I see that someone makes their own yogurt I ask the following question, and have never received a satisfactory answer. If there isn't one then please tell me:

How do you stop your homemade yogurt from getting stringy? Storebought yogurt doesn't drip a long string from spoon to shirt, KWIM? The spoonful just separates from the rest of the yogurt.

My homemade yogurt always wants to cling on...

Honestly, I have never noticed. I will make a new batch tomorrow or Thurs. and will test it out.

BTW we are having coffee at my place Friday at 10am if you want to head over.
