Fresh British soured cream
It’s finally there: sour cream in British shops. In fact I was going to settle for a jar of creme freche, when I noticed Fresh British soured cream on the shelf and grabbed it.
In 2006 when I came to the Island nobody so much as heard about this, even when I mentioned that Americans have it. After five years, the shrewd business-people that you are, you have the sour cream and thick milk in tubes and grain coffee and even carrot juice. I wish I were that shrewd…
So I tried to cook the pink cold soup – and failed. Your soured cream needs some work, people. I poured some in the mug, added some soup, mixed well to even the temperature out, and poured this mixture in the pot of boiling beet juice soup. The cream separated which means that I’m off to the Polish shop to get the real stuff.
Very good, as Master Chen is prone to saying. One more time.
there was sour cream ocassionally in Coop shops in Leicester area as far back as 2001 – and it was not that bad as far as I can remember – back in 2006 it was a common item in Asdas or Tescos around London
there’s usually no problem with sour cream in tesco here in london…. very strange!
regards!
