Being in the retail trade I found this amusing!
Probably was something very rare then, and also didn't have so much preservatives and other poisonous sh*t in them.
Wow and the prices of clothing - R2,50 for men's shirts and R1,99 for ladies' summer tops! The price of a Wilson toffee!
My Mum made her own yoghurt .. she got a piece of the plant ( culture ) from Karen Singer , the genuine bulgarian yoghurt .. Charlie as we called him looked like cauliflower .. each day he was removed from the yoghurt he had created .. carefully washed in tepid water and then put back into fresh milk that was allowed to stand to room temperature .. the yoghurt was nice thick and creamy and had a nice tart taste ... excess yoghurt was turned into a stunning cream cheese by putting it into a muslin cloth and straining out the excess liquid .. from heaven and full of goodness ..
Oh Sandy the memories, I remember the plant your mom had it was at your house that i seen one for the first time. And yes it looked like a cauliflower. Tasted fab. I used to make my own yaghurt but not from the plant...had one of those machines...not as good as the real thing....I wonder if you can still get those plants ...
Thanks Barbara for that recollection .. those cuture plants must be available somewhere .. Yummy yoghurt ..
Karin Singer! What happened to her?
Probably pricking some poor souls finger somewhere.
