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

I'm part of the lower class hordes that love sour cream.

Just made a chicken chili yesterday and had the chili with a nice dollop of sour cream. Yum.

Great on a baked potato, mix some up with some seasoning for a quick and easy dip for chips. Whatever.

Love sour cream. My maternal grandmother was of Ashkenazi heritage, which mostly reflects in our culinary traditions (sour cream, rather than applesauce, was always the "proper" accompaniment for potato pancakes) and casual use of Yiddishisms. Then I studied abroad in Russia where sour cream was a main condiment. I'm in my 40s now but still appreciate sour cream in soups, as a dip for any dumpling or for blintzes. The only thing I don't eat anymore that I grew up with is sour cream with cottage cheese.

Sour cream is not like ketchup or mustard. And one is never too old to have sour cream.

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.

Do you know anything about the history of food?

No, she clearly does not. She thinks she is not low class because she might have come into some money recently.

No dear that should be crema

OOOOOO. The elite show up to correct the crass poor.

Fat molecules enhance flavors. And the tanginess adds a bit of zip. The coolness is a nice complement to some spicy foods.

Seriously, how do you not get this? Are the people posting here a bunch of orthorexics who subsist on dry whole wheat toast?

I'm sure op is an elite, Range Rover driving Soul Cycle enthusiast who subsists entirely on Trader Joe's frozen food items and Whole Foods asparagus water.

So that raises you above the low class, right?

Op's premise is bs. Sour cream is an important item in lots of recipes. Op hates dip.


Op what do you eat?

Never heard of anything thinking that. You have some weird ideas.

Now do sugar, potatoes, rice, chicken, OJ, etc.

My child is willing to eat sour cream like it’s yogurt.
