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

I don’t like it, but I don’t judge people who do.

No dear that should be crema

I once had a Russian coworker who would literally put an entire container of sour cream on top of his lunch that his mom packed for him. We would just watch, mouths agape.

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.

Agreed.

I also use sour cream in cooking quite a bit -- as a fat in baked goods or as a component in a sauce. It is weird to compare it to ketchup or ranch dressing (though I don't think those are "low class and juvenile" either) because those are pure condiments that you use to top things or dip things. I think of sour cream as belonging to a family of dairy products (yogurt, crème fraîche, goat and cotija cheese, etc.) that have a variety of uses in cooking and baking and can also be used as a topping or accompaniment.

Sour cream in baking is obvi not the same as 4oz of sour cream on your Chipotle burrito.

You seem fun.

I love sour cream (and ranch), but I am self-judgmental about it. I'm delighted when it comes as a side at a Mexican place, but I will not order it specifically. I eat it a lot at home.

(Yes, this is ridiculous and life is too short to worry about people judging my condiments. But there you have it.)

I hate Ranch. Green Goddess, too. And Thousand Island.

DP. I don’t drown, but I love a dollop. If that’s low class, then so be it. It’s just cultured cream.

Actually, come to think of it, you know what I do think is kind of low class? Fat free sour cream!

I never heard of food choice as being any class type. This is twisted thinking.
