This is what I was going to post, too. My dh is from Turkey and the yogurts from this area of the world are completely different tasting than even the "greek yogurt" that you get in the US. Unfortunately, I can't make greek yogurt at home because I don't have access to whole sheep's milk. We *can* get authentic middle eastern yogurt at the middle eastern ethnic grocery in the city, though. It's worth the expense, at least to us (and especially for dh, who eats a couple quarts of plain yogurt per week). It's not authentic greek yogurt, but it's the closest we can get.</p>

<p>In Turkey, the way people buy their yogurt is at a counter where there are tubs and tubs of bulk yogurt and you ask for a kilo or whatever. They used to sell it along the streets and people would come out with their containers and buy it at their own door. It's sooooo yummy! And so different than anything sold in the US.</p>
