Yoghurt making started this morning.

Our little 8-container yoghurt incubator works well for the Canadian bagged-milk situation. When I have one container left, I heat up a single bag's volume of milk (1.3 L) then let it cool. That volume plus the last container dumped in to inoculate the batch makes exactly 8 full containers again. A continuous loop.

It may be the most diversely spelled word in English - Yoghurt is usually my choice.

Official Canadian dictionaries often show "yoghourt." The common US way seems to be "yogurt" and I think UK prefers "yoghurt" as well.

Maybe only hummus has a similar number of variations?

@ottaross I think yogourt is the most Canadian spelling, in that no one else uses it. I default to that.

@mariellequinton it's a good choice. I see it on domestic packaging too. Yoghurt seems to be vaguely international while diff than American which I like too.

@ottaross Yogourt is very Canadian because it's both English and French (while not being used in either England or France 😝). I think the "h" is generally used in Commonwealth countries, and like the "u", not in the US.

@mariellequinton I think the French version is sometimes with an 'a' in it though too, like 'yaourt' but does have the 'ou' which preserves that Canadian feel. :)

@ottaross @mariellequinton Yaourt is mostly used in France :)

@stephanie @mariellequinton Aha - didn't know that. Thx.

@ottaross That's the France French version. I'm sure they absolutely reject the Canadian French version 😝, as I'm sure French Canadians are fine with both just like English Canadians use multiple spellings 😝. A Canadian spelling to unite Canadians and confuse the rest of the world 😜
