milk that survived a bacterial mob and came out thicker and smarter.
means A thick, tangy dairy food made by fermenting milk with live bacterial cultures that curdle it into a creamy semi-solid.
from Straight from Turkish 'yoğurt,' rooted in the old verb 'yoğurmak,' meaning to knead or thicken. English borrowed it in the 17th century along with travelers' tales of the East, and ever since it's been spelled a dozen ways — yoghurt, yogourt, yaourt — each language wrestling with that untranslatable Turkish 'ğ.'
