Yogurt:
In THE BATTLE OF THE SHELLFISH, crab won with lobster, scallops and shrimps coming next in the poll.
It's now the turn of yogurts, or to be more precise flavours of yogurts, to do battle!
Yogurt is a food or drink made from fermented milk, whether milk from cows, camels, goats, sheep, water buffaloes and yaks and more recently, plant-based milk such as almond, coconut, rice and soy milk. Yogurt can be eaten or drunk, and it can be served sweet or savoury.
Though there are many different types of yogurt (eg Australian, French, Greek, frozen, Icelandic (skyr), natural, organic, regular, set-style, strained, Swiss-style and unstrained yogurt), this poll is only concerned with the flavour of yogurts, including unflavoured yogurts. Moreover, the poll is only concerned with single flavours and not a combination of flavours added to a yogurt, such as banana chocolate flakes yogurt, one of my favourite yogurts.
Derived from the Turkish word, yogurt in my country, Britain, is sometimes spelt as yoghurt and even occasionally yoghourt or yogourt. I believe yogourt is the Canadian spelling.
My favourite yogurts are apricot, banana, blackcurrant, hazelnut, mango, peach, raspberry and rhubarb, with black cherry being my most favourite yogurt. It's the skin of the cherries which does it for me, as well as the taste.
Black cherry yogurt:
But my least favourite yogurts are chocolate, coffee and strawberry, with cheese (fromage frais) being my least favourite yogurt. I love cheese, chocolate, coffee and strawberries, but just not as yogurt flavours.
What are your most and least favourite flavours of yogurts?
How often do you consume yogurt? And do you consume yogurt as a savoury or sweet food and/or drink?
Do you write yogurt, yoghurt, yoghourt or yogourt?
I consume quite a lot of yogurt. Generally I eat yogurt as a sweet dessert, a quick dessert. But in Indian restaurants, I'll often have a savoury yogurt-based dip with my starter and main dishes. And, if my curry is very hot, I'll order a lassi, a yogurt drink. Lassi is much better than water to cool down from eating a very hot curry. In fact, water is useless - though it gives immediate relief, the next mouthful of curry will taste even hotter.
I used to write yoghurt but in recent years I've now dropped the 'h' and write yogurt instead. If Americans can arbitrarily drop letters, why can't a Brit?!
Below is a poll where you can anonymously select your most favourite flavour of yogurt. Unfortunately only one pick is allowed in the poll.
A poll on this site can only have 20 answer options. Unfortunately there was no room in the poll for apple, apricot, blackberry, blackcurrant, cashew, cinnamon, coconut, coffee, cranberry, garlic, gin, gingerbread, gooseberry, grape, grapefruit, lime, maple syrup, mint, onion, orange, papaya, passionfruit, pear, plum, rhubarb, rose, shortcake, toffee and whisky.
I think unflavoured yogurt will win the poll but it may face stiff competition from cherry-, chocolate-, honey-, raspberry- and strawberry-flavoured yogurts.

I love greek and Egyptian yogurt the normal is better but with all this flavours why not to try it
I've never tried Greek nor Egyptian yogurt.
I have yogurt every once in a while. Blueberry, cherry, and strawberry are my favorites. 🍒🍓
We don't get blueberry yogurt or blueberry anything here.
I love fat free peach yogurt. I do not like cherry anything, even yogurt.
Usually I eat it as a sweet treat. I also use plain yogurt in baking as well as salad dressings. I have never had it as a drink.
A peach yogurt is very and subtly refreshing.
Cheese yogurt?!? Sounds like a mangling or conflation of two different milk-derived products. I'll pass.
Passionfruit yogurt, vanilla, plain, plain sheep's or goat, apricot, and honey are all fine, as are many of the various berry flavors. Just don't get to cloyingly sweet with a yogurt.
I don't recommend a cheese yogurt.
My wife and her yogurts!
Your wife clearly likes raspberries.
I really like black cherry yogurt, but I can't get that here. It's my go-to breakfast when I'm in the States. For the yogurt I get in Japan, there's a vanilla yogurt that I like.
I make a yogurt parfait for breakfast with overnight oats, frozen fruit, Greek yogurt, and plain yogurt. I make them in protein shakers so all I have to do is grab one from the fridge to bring it to work with me in the mornings.
I'm surprised you can't get black cherry yogurt in Japan.
Your yogurt parfait sounds delicious.
Daily unflavoured but double cream (not low fat or med fat ) and add honey. Never paid attention to spelling..but looking at my packaging seems we still on yoghurt
I used to write yoghurt but clearly I've gone all American by dropping a letter to write yogurt!
@spunkycumfun is the fault of spell check defaults to US english...you end up picking bad habits
or doubting your spelling
@taurean62dbn Spellchecks have a lot to answer for the dominance of American English.
I'm usually eating my yogurt with fresh fruit, chopped nuts, sometimes granola - so I go for bland vanilla.
In my opinion, vanilla is far from bland. It's one of the best and under-rated flavourings. Vanilla is why I like custard.
If I have yogurt its plain. I'll have it in a smoothie with fresh fruit. I'm not into any of the flavors. And I would definitely not have cheese yogurt.
I see you add the flavour to your smoothies. I would never recommend you add cheese to your yogurt smoothie.
I generally eat yogurt as my morning fruit once a week or so and I like any of the fruit flavored ones.
I've never even heard of chocolate or cheese yogurt - ACK!
I don't recommend cheese yogurt.
I am glad you enjoy eating yogurt my friend. I did vote even though I don't really eat yogurt.
What are your most and least favourite flavours of yogurts? I would have to say cherry, strawberry and pineapple to be the best ones. And the rest of them not so much.
How often do you consume yogurt? Never
And do you consume yogurt as a savoury or sweet food and/or drink? No
Do you write yogurt, yoghurt, yoghourt or yogourt? Yogurt
I hope your Friday is a great start to an even more exciting weekend..
I like cherry and pineapple yogurt too, though I'm not so keen on strawberry yogurt.
