Several of you mentioned really liking Fage yogurt. I decided to try it, in spite of it being expensive. It was great! I really like it, and its so free of all those other additives! I usually only eat half of the little container, with honey and walnuts. YUM. Thanks for telling me about it. But how is it pronounced?
Thanks!

BTW, I have yet to see this brand. Hereabouts Chiobani seems to be the 'in' brand of Greek.

Chiobani tastes good, but it has soooooo many additives!

In my practicing saying it, I have another question! Is it "Fah-yay" or "Fah-yeah"?

FAGE shows the pronunciation on the carton. I love it too. I'm now buying their plain yogurt in the big tub. In my town I can only find it at Safeway of all places. And at one small grocery with organic food. Not even at our local coop which surprises me.

You're right rose......I pulled the empty carton out of the recycling bin and sure enough.......it says it right on there. I guess I was too busy eating the stuff to notice! haha
But......there are different ways of pronouncing "yeh". Do you think its like "yay" as opposed to other possibilities?
So far, I can only find it at a certain Marsh store. Online it says that Kroger and Target carry it, but I haven't found it there as yet.

ya know, I'm chuckling, because for the LONGEST time, I would hear people say they shopped at "Tar-Zhay", and I NEVER made the connection that they were talking about Tar-Get. DUUHHHHH............. I thought it was some kind of special store that I'd never seen in our travels, hahahahaha......
