  1. Am... am flabbergasted....
    b TWICE
    in less than a year... two plotters.. asked me what are blackberries for!! good grief!! one, an immigrant, was amazed when I told him they're edible and delicious, he made a disgusted face.... the other a local with the plot right next to mine, also asked what are they for. I said they're edible and delicious and grown all around you; offered one fruit from a box I'd just filled in from the nearby bushes, she made a face and refused.

    Goodness gracious me. I rest my case. Am not telling them am having a handful of them in goat yogurt, for breakfast, lest they run away in fright.

    Picked up some new potatoes over a couple of weeks; thanks to blackbirds digging for worms, they pull them up clean and tidy. nice.

  2. #Scientists revive old #Bulgarian #recipe to make #yogurt with ants

    Ants carry lactic and acetic acid bacteria that help coagulate milk, as well as formic acid to acidify it.

    by Jennifer Ouellette – Oct 3, 2025

    "Fermenting milk to make yogurt, cheeses, or kefir is an ancient practice, and different cultures have their own traditional methods, often preserved in oral histories. The forests of #Bulgaria and #Turkey have an abundance of #RedWoodAnts, for instance, so a time-honored Bulgarian yogurt-making practice involves dropping a few live ants (or crushed-up ant eggs) into the milk to jump-start fermentation. Scientists have now figured out why the ants are so effective in making edible yogurt, according to a paper published in the journal iScience. The authors even collaborated with chefs to create modern recipes using ant yogurt."

  4. @thecrushedviolet "Yogurt & Whey: Recipes of an Iranian Immigrant Life" by Homa Dashtaki is a cookbook rather than an autobiography, but the author shares some of her experiences in her birth country, being an immigrant to the US, and being a yogurt entrepreneur. You might find it interesting. Also, there's a really great spinach boorani recipe in it that I've added to my regular rotation.
