So, the one night that we cooked for ourselves we needed to pick up a few groceries, one of which being sour cream. So we walked to town to the supermarket to pick them up. No big deal, we thought. We waltzed up to the dairy products aisle in search of the sour cream. Through the milk, the yogurt, the cheese, the cottage cheese, but we couldn't find the sour cream. We went up the aisle, down the next, again and again and again! No sour cream. "Maybe it's got some strange name here" we thought, so we brainstormed and looked again with a more open mind. Nothing. So finally we asked someone- a little worried that they might think we were crazy- SOUR cream- like who would want cream that was sour! I got to thinking that it probably didn't even exist here. But sure enough it did. No wonder we missed it, it was the smallest section in the whole dairy department. One brand, one size. One small size, small personal yogurt cup size, 1/2 cup size, 1/2 Ronnie's hand size! Most North American recipes call for more than 1/2 cup. Well this Britain thing might turn out to be a good weight-loss plan! Plus it turned out to be the perfect size- exactly what we needed.
