This certainly is true, even for me :) I'm using a culture that was brought into the US even before I was born! Best way to sustain the culture especially during long trips, is to have friends / family nearby who will do the needful and keep the culture fine (make new yoghurt) while I'm out traveling. I didn't realize this was big outside of south India. Good to see that people from other countries do it often too. ps: Why does NYT hesitate to say India/Pakistan, instead of lumping them into one generic "South Asian"? I hesitate to say "South Indian" because that's generalizing 8+ languages, 4+ scripts and a few hundred cultures, cuisines and arts. Hope the North American media learns to not be lazy ;)
