Talk:Yogurt

message: This appears to be a North American concept. A quick google produces mostly US and Canadian hits. The article should really clarify that this is a regional, not global, term. Ef80 (talk) 13:34, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. I don't see any sources cited for this term. The reference has been in there for 20 years; since the 3rd revision. I will ping that editor, , as they are still active. As I was looking for the origin edit I did notice at some point there was a citation to a website now apparently defunct, and also it used to say the term is used in the US. But maybe we should say North America because here's a Canadian citation for it. --В²C ☎ 03:58, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: The use of 'Swiss style' and other allusions to Swiss yoghurt packaging was common in the UK in the 1960s (when yoghurt was much less commonly eaten here) and later  - see pictures at https://www.skidairy.co.uk/story . It was probably meant to sound all very healthy and pure. As more and more companies started selling yoghurt, this fashion disappeared. But the yoghurt itself had nothing to do with Switzerland.

replies: text: Are you sure? I just Googled for “yogurt in Switzerland” and found this statement on a  Swiss website:  —В²C ☎ 16:42, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

text: I think Wikipedia has misattributed that very old diff. I didn't write the initial revisions of the article (nor that factoid about the swiss style); I just fixed some details about the science. Collabi (talk) 23:58, 6 January 2023 (UTC)

text: Hmm. I challenge you to find 'Swiss style' yogurt in a British supermarket, though Nestlé still use the old 'Ski' brand, which has vaguely Swiss connotations. I don't think the issue is important enough to make a fuss about though. --Ef80 (talk) 16:40, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Swiss style" yogurt 

message: Under the "Production" heading, the first paragraph ends with the sentence: "That step is followed by addition of starter culture and standing [sic]" 
Now, I'm just a tourist here, and I don't know enough about yogurt to complete the sentence. It's been that way for at least a year I think, looking at the history. I could compare more revisions but again, I'm only a tourist looking for info on how yogurt is made. Anafyral (talk) 23:48, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Production - hung sentence 

message: It would be nice to have similarities and differences between yogurt and curds (as in curds and whey). Curds are sometimes made by adding rennet, but can also be made by bacterial fermentation of fresh milk. Differences would seem to include more careful control of the bacterial culture and the temperature, but in both pocesses the milk sugar (lactose) is converted to lactic acid, lowering the pH and coagulating the non-whey proteins.

thread_title:  Yogurt vs "curds" 

message: The article in History section states: 'Isaac Carasso industrialized the production of yogurt. In 1919, Carasso, who was from Ottoman Salonika', however I suggest to be changed to: "Isaac Carasso industrialized the production of yogurt. In 1919, Carasso, who was from Salonika'. Revised the description of Isaac Carasso's origin. Removed the specific mention of 'Ottoman Salonika' to focus on the geographical location (Salonika/Thessaloniki) without implying historical or cultural influences that are not essential to the context of his yogurt business. The goal is to present factual information pertinent to Carasso's business endeavors without unnecessary historical connotations. Neuron1989 (talk) 20:42, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
