This can't be yogurt

I'm in Santorini, Greece today. I had this bowl of yogurt with fruit -- drizzled with honey -- overlooking an azure sea. But never mind the sea.

Can you get Greek-style yogurt in LR? It's nothing like grocery store Dannon, Yoplait, etc. It's much thicker, much creamier, but still tangy. As much as anything, it reminds me of Creole cream cheese from my Louisiana boyhood.

A whole different food.

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but you can find Greek yogurt made by Stonyfield Farm (http://www.oikosorganic.com/) at Kroger in the Heights. I have only used it in smoothies so far, so I'm not sure how different it is from regular yogurt.

Fage Yogurt at Fresh Market...even comes with honey.
It's awesome, addicting and oh so pricey!

Of course you can! Fage is available just about anywhere, like Boulevard and the Station. Also, the Station has the super-thick Icelandic yogurt called skyr, brand name is Siggi's. I've really only seen it in NYC, so I love that it's at the Station.

Siggi's is at Whole Foods too. (of course the Station is local, which is preferable...)
