Last week while I was at the coast, and grumping around because of the antibiotics, Mother Dear asked me if I'd ever tried these Yakult yogurt drinks that are supposed to be good for you.

I hadn't, so she gave be one and asked what I thought. I must say that it tasted rather nice, but that was guessable: if you like yogurt, then these are pretty much a shoo-in. Of course, the 'friendly bacteria' are another thing. Probably not the best time to try a new pro-biotic drink (if that's what they're called).

The friendly little bacteria would have hit my stomach like the Hare Krishna partying at the airport. Sadly, they would have been mugged by the humourless antibiotics in immigration control and sent packing.

There is an irony here.

I used to drink a lot of Schweppes' RED DRINK - the stuff that tastes red; this was very mild in comparison, and to my jaded taste buds just tasted of yoggy.

Speaking of irony...

I absolutely love yogurt. All kinds. Plain, vanilla, fruit on top, fruit on bottom, full-milk, fat-free, whatever.

But the thought of drinking yogurt of a liquid consistency grosses me out beyond all comprehension.

I also love milk... but can't stand to drink the milk that is left in the bowl after the cereal is gone.

*gag*

See? I toldya I was weird...

Bry dear, au contraire: live yoghurt is de rigueur when taking antibiotics. The antibees rumble in and destroy, well, just about everything in there, including intestinal flora and the like if they get the chance. (Moment of silence while we contemplate orchids in our tummies.)

Anyway, live yoghurt (not the half-dead kind, it has to say live on the tin, and other things ending in -us) is good for you when you're on antibees. Helps the nice things renew themselves while the drug-Gestapo does its indiscriminate work.

Now I must go lie down; I think I sprained a metaphor.

"Live" yoggit? Sounds really really dodgy. I used to know a girl named Vicky who made her own. I like the sugary tasty stuff you get in the supermarket, but she used to dump bits of fruit into a creamy-looking substance until it looked like vomit. It would have been either really good for you or really bad.

I think Vicky offered me some one day, and I politely turned it down. She was a lovely girl, excellent personality, had a great Dachshund doggy and was very popular at Shrewsbury Tech, but the young lady did not know how to kiss. Must have been all that yoggit...
