Do you consider sour cream to be a lower class and juvenile condiment?

Sour cream is also important to so many cultures…like most of Eastern European traditional cooking runs on sour cream. How can it be low class?!

Good point. And I don't eat sour cream nor do I consider it a condiment.

Get real. You see that because that's who you hang out with and eat with. If you're at a place serving nachos in the first place, that's on you.

Why? Why is plain yogurt superior?

I will say that as an adult I can’t eat ketchup or ranch dressing. They do seem like kid things to me. I also would think it’s weird if an adult was drinking apple juice with dinner.

What do you eat with your french fries?

I don’t eat fries often but when I do it’s either plain or with chipotle mayo.

Not mayo! Even worse than the low class ketchup according to some. The chipotle doesn't class it up, sorry PP.

The French use mayo as well, but there's probably an exception when you are on The Continent.

It sounds fancy when a French person says it so the rubes probably think it's haute cuisine. But pretend to gag at the mere mention of it in the US.

Aioli is not the same as mayo. Mayo is almost exclusively some junk oil and eggs. Aioli is whipped olive oil and garlic, no eggs.

What? No Aioli absolutely has egg yolks, olive oil, garlic! You’ve clearly never made aioli.

Sorry but I’m fit and pretty wealthy. I always eat sour cream with Mexican food. Mexican food is very popular in CA!

I think sour cream and onion potato chips, potato chip dip, putting sour cream all over your Mexican food, drowning a baked potato in cheese and sour cream are all pretty low class and/or juvenile.

My period must be in its way, all of
that sounds divine

You seem to be implying that there are illegitimate condiments. What would those be?

It's not mayo, but it is a condiment.

An illegitimate condiment.

So many desperate strivers trying to appear "high class" in the most ignorant ways.

Traditional Catalan Aioli IS in fact only garlic and olive oil. More modern recipes include egg, to help with the emulsification.

It's salad dressing. That's still legal in the US.

Also confused by this. Yogurt will work as a substitute for sour cream in baking (but you need full fat yogurt) but will not work for say, mashed potatoes.

Also, just eat what you like, seriously. Moderation of course but a constant vigilance can't ever eat anything fun diet is unsustainable.
