call me common, but i really like sweet, flavoured yoghurt. if they would just make a chocolate cheesecake yoghurt, i would be the first in line. but it looks like the brief period of a couple years ago, where the refrigerated shelves held such exotic flavours as blueberry pancake yoghurt, is just so two years ago. these days, it’s all the regular fruit flavours, or vanilla. so i don’t really buy the glop anymore.

that said, i really do like the new range from dairy farmers. in particular, i really like the packaging of the new range from dairy farmers, particularly in particular the raspberry-and-cream one. just look at those dewy, plump raspberries, covering the entire surface of the waxed paper cup. it feels good, this waxed paper cup, a hefty little thing in your hand, being pulled off the shelf and into your basket.

it is thick and creamy, as the label says, even though the good, honest country folk in the ad don’t say anything about the gelatine, tapioca-based thickener and vegetable gum in the mix. whatever. it feels good going down.

it is pale pink, and not cloyingly sweet (though this would really depend on your personal sweetness threshold), and there are bits of real raspberries in there. i thought it might be extra good if i added some fresh berries (fresh from the punnet) too. and it was!
