I mean, it is sour? It's acidic.

Yeah, of the things your tongue can taste, PH is two of them. Acidic things by definition taste sour and sour cream is around 4.5.

But it IS sour. It's not sour like a sour candy, but compared to normal cream it has a distinct twang. You should just learn to try something before deciding you won't eat it

I don't think a name change would cause any more or any less confusion

Agreed. I find it hard to belIeve OP would have felt more inclined to try "soured cream" over "sour cream". There's still sour in the name, I don't see how it would have made a difference at all.

Did no one in your life up until this point ever talk to you about sour cream? Like it never even came up in conversation? For example, you're having some kind of Mexican food, and someone you're with asks "would you like some sour cream?" and you say "no thanks, I don't really like sour stuff." In said situation, did no one ever say "but sour cream isn't sour" or "have you ever tried it?"? It blows my mind that you've gone nearly 30 years and haven't tried something *because of the name* and this kind of conversation *never* happened. Like… at all, even kind of. What.

is it weird to not discuss sour cream? i just think it tastes awful so i always order "no sour cream" and never once has anyone ever asked me anything more about it. i have genuinely never had a single conversation about sour cream, this is probably the most ive ever talked about it lol

by Anonymous 1 year ago

I meant this as in like, if you're with someone and order something or decline an ingredient that is standard (for example, pasta with no red sauce) there should have been even one occurrence that there was some kind of conversation about it. It's just a normal food conversation that happens when with others.

It took me almost that long to try it because having dairy on a taco (that isn't cheese) sounds gross to me. I still don't like it dolloped on Mexican food, but I like it as an ingredient in other stuff.

by Anonymous 1 year ago

If you're someone who likes to mix food together (like beans and rice with your meat etc) it's nice just to add to it or with spices.

by Anonymous 1 year ago

I'm still not really into it in Mexican food, but that's just because the flavor doesn't add much for me. But it's great as an ingredient in a lot of dishes, that's true.

It is sour. It's surprising to me that people are saying it's not. I mean it's not super sour or anything, but definitely a bit sour yeah.

milk/cream souring is literally bacteria creating lactic **acid** acidic = sour yes, sour cream is sour.

it is sour but not the citrus sour yk?

It does have a sour taste though? It's not super intense but it's definitely a little tangy.

by Anonymous 1 year ago

It's pretty mildly sour, but definitely some level of sourness.

by Anonymous 1 year ago

It actually is more sour than regular cream due to the lactic acid. Sour is a gradient not an absolute.

by Anonymous 1 year ago

It's reasonable to call it that. For years it wasn't available in a lot of places, so we'd just make our own by stirring a teaspoon of lemon juice into a cup of heavy cream. It is slightly sour, because it has been soured. As my grandmother would have said: Silly Amerikansky - it's called smetana.

by Anonymous 1 year ago

It's strange you've worried so much about this - it's a bit tangy but generally very pleasing for most. Sounds like there are tons of foods for you to try - don't worry about the names.

I think it is sour compared to table cream. I'm Mexican and those are two different kinds of creams.

I hold the belief that the issue doesn't lie in the name itself; it's rather a matter of your unwillingness to venture into trying something unfamiliar, which might not suit your palate, but could just as well turn out to be as delightful as, for instance, sour cream.

You can start your own dairy company and market it as soured cream and whenever anyone is like wtf I'm looking for sour cream not soured cream you can tell them your whole boring story.

I used to think refried beans were fried and then fried again, so I refused to eat them because that sounded gross to me. Finally when I was about 19 years old, I accidentally had some on a burrito and was blown away by how good they were and how they didn't taste fried even once. People can be so dumb sometimes lol
