We made our own yogurt for a long time. I have a wood fired oven that I do naturally leavened breads in and Pizzas and my lady would do creme fresh and yogurt in at night. She would mix th ecoulture with milk and let it sit overnight in the warm oven and we would have fresh yogurt in the morning. I'm not a big yogurt fan so it was more her thing but it wasn't bad and CHEAP! She traded my bread for whole fresh milk from a dairy that sold at the farmers market.

That is too cool!
I know a guy who makes his own while backpacking, and I really want to try his method, but I don't like the idea of lugging around a thermos to do it, however, my morning oatmeal and yogurt while on the trail would be nice.
I eat Fage Greek Yogurt, great stuff. I use it in place of sour cream as well as mixed with fresh fruit for a snack. I'll even eat it plain.
My favorite way to eat Greek yogurt is tzatziki sauce. We haven't made it at home yet but it's on the list of stuff to try.
Greek yogurt is amazing, and I see we're thinking the same thought about it as a sour cream sub, it works surprisingly well!
I've yet to make my own tzattziki sauce, but I do enjoy gyros; shoot, one sounds so good right now...
