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

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.


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

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.)

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.

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.

No dear that should be crema

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