Yes I do and I love it! My brother bought it before it was in stores..when you still had to buy it through the infomercial. :P He bought one for my mom and one for himself but then just gave it to me. I love being able to make little single serve things in it. It even has a full size blender if you want to do bigger stuff and it has a juicer. I've never used that attachment though.

I've got a full-sized blender, but I never use it because it's such a hassle.  And I always liquify things with my immersion blender.  That would be perfect!  I'll add it to my holiday wish list. :D

Mmmmmm, banana and mayo sarnies. Guaranteed to make my husband gag!


ooo I was going to say this.  I only crave it occasionally, but when I do it's hard to resist.
I know where I came by it, though...I had a grandmother who would feed me these when I was too small to know better.  ;D

I second those who've said everything is improved by cheese.

My grandfather used to make me one after school as a snack! And I still eat them to this day.

Yeah, mayo and banana sandwiches are really good. My dad used to make these for me.

American pancakes with sour cream and sugar.  My grandfather used to serve them like that and they are yummy.

I agree. Along with cheese, I also believe that sour cream makes everything better.

Dont mean to hi-jack.. but on the sour cream note one thing thats been bugging me is Ive not been able to find low-fat/light sour cream here anywhere (was just in ASDA today looking for it again). Anyone have any ideas? I used to get it all the time in the US and it took the guilt out of eating it!

Low fat creme fraiche does the trick for me.

I love that, but it has to be apple pancakes and with cinnamon sugar and sour cream.
When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life. ~ John Lennon

 :o Have you? I search Morrisons every week for low-fat sour cream but to no avail  :( Perhaps my Morrisons is smaller than yours.

This may sound silly, but I've never had creme-fraiche.... is it the same consistency as sour cream? Never bought it because i thought it was used instead of double cream in some recipes so I thought it was the same consistency as double cream-- i.e. liquid...

I actually find creme-fraiche to be thicker than sour cream.  Just bought some to use as 'sour cream' tonight. :)

I swear it was Morrisons... maybe it was the big tesco... hmmm... I do know I've bought it, but I didn't like it, I thought it was really runny and very sour tasting.  I went back to creme fraiche, because I like the consistency and prefer the flavour now.

Add cottage cheese and it sounds kind of like blintzes.

I've bought low fat sour cream at Sainsburys.

I'll second two things from this thread (I'm late to the party) - pretzels with anything and fritos with PB&J. I think it's the salty/sweet thing that works for me too!!!
