Re: Yogurt texture

[Guest guest]

what starter did you use?

sounds a little scary from your description. more like a gigantic yogurt

biofilm. I've never seen anything like that before. that sounds more

like something yeast does than bacteria, IME. Anyone else seen

that?

Have you poked it? Is it alive? <g>

When I was a kid, I had a glass of what appeared to be good milk (tasted and

smelled just fine, and I had quite a nose/tastebuds for anything spoiled). The

only thing was that my tongue felt something odd, and when I pulled that

something out of my mouth, it appeared to just be paper-like (it came from a

paper carton, so I didn't think much of it). A little while later, my brother

poured milk on his cereal. He put the spoon in, lifted it up, and slime was

running off the edges of it. He said my face turned green upon seeing this ;-).

However, I had no ill effects from drinking this slime ridden milk. I have no

clue as to the cause of the slime, or as to why the milk tasted fine. But it

sounds an awful lot like your yogurt!
