Jeanneb2000 Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Good grief. I cannot believe this thread has gone on this long. I use unsalted butter for health reasons, but love the salted butter for baking. I'm so confused about this thread going on so long. If I'm wrong let me know.

ShanConshue Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 We buy both salted and unsalted butter. We used the salted in our baking. Most old traditional recipes call for it.. I buy probably 10 lbs a month if it was available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously everyone has a butter opinion. bennie, Mexican butter of any kind sucks, IMHO, compared to NOBs. It tastes and smells rancid all the time.

sioux4noff Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Yes to the salted butter, and in full agreement with #55 about the taste of every Mexican butter I've ever tried. And while you're talking to the manager, I'd like to see the Greek yogurt there too, the Fage no-fat kind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And while you're talking to the manager, I'd like to see the Greek yogurt there too, the Fage no-fat kind Costco had Fage several months ago-1 shipment- already talked to the power- not popular with Mexican shoppers - It's not coming back!! Actually found a sample of Nestle Grecia Yoghurt at Wal Mart- double the price of all the other 1000 types they sell- but only a small "nueva presentacion"" don't think it will last Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShanConshue Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 You youghert lovers.. I make mine! I used a starter of fage and so it tastes the same.. I'd be more then willing to show you.. its SUPER easy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sioux4noff Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 The Greek yogurt at Mega is pretty calorie laden. Thanks for the offer, but i have no interest in making my own yogurt. Edited to add, if I could make yogurt with the same consistancy/texture and 0 calories as the Fage, I might consider it. MIGHT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVGRINGO Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Real Greek, or any other Mediterranean yoghurt is typically made with goat milk. That is not the case with many of the American products. If you wish to make your own yoghurt, it is quite easy and the longer it sits, the better it gets. If you just want to simulate the American product, buy any yoghurt you like and strain it through at least four layers of cheesecloth. That will get it to the consistency that people call Greek, which is a recent craze in the USA. Having lived in the Middle East, I learned to love good yoghurt a long time ago. Here, in Mexico with its roots in the Middle East, the tradition lives on with the liberal use of many cremas and yoghurts available in any mercado.

I don't actually know what the deal is with Mexican butter. I'm not saying it is rancid, just that it smells and tastes like it to me. Perhaps they use butyric acid, which is often in butter and apparently is the same chemical responsible for the foul smell of human bile. Nice, eh? In any case, it makes me ill just smelling it.
