mascara out of boxes and eggs out of the fridge!

How about clotted cream?  I couldn't do it cause it would seem too sweet but it's thick enough.

Oh gawd, no.  The whole point of sour cream is it's sour.  Clotted cream is nice on a crumpet, but do not put it on my baked potatoes or my tacos!

I would reckon making thick sour cream is easy - most likely just a matter of straining it through muslin or cheesecloth? 

That's not a bad idea for thickening it up.  But it still won't make up for the complete lack of flavour in the UK variety.  Am I the only one who feels this way?  I can't be...  *puzzled*

I really like a butter and cheese sandwich. That is one of my Dad's specialties and that's how he made us sandwiches as kids.

A piece and cheese, as we call it in the Weedge and its environs! Love it, especially when it's been in my bag for a couple of hours and becomes room temp and slightly squidgy.

You are definitely not the only person I've heard complain about the sour cream.  But me and my simple taste buds do not know the difference.  Yes, the texture is VERY runny here but I'm cool with that.  Granted, I haven't had sour cream in nearly a year and I'd sell my soul if it meant I could have some...

Jimbo - clotted cream as a substitute for sour cream?  Sometimes I think we need to take your American passport away...

Clotted cream is not, in any universe, a substitute for sour cream!!   

But I honestly can't tell a difference in taste between sour cream and crème fraiche.  I tend to buy crème fraiche as it's thicker, but I use it in all dishes that require sour cream.

Exactly!  There's scarcely any difference in flavour.  I, too, buy creme fraiche because it's thicker.  But both creme fraiche and UK sour cream are far too bland to really satisfy my US sour cream needs.  I use them because something is better than nothing, but I really really miss proper sour cream. 

Also we totally keep our butter here on the counter at my family’s in the US

We did too. Had a nice compact 50's butter dish. It was great. Wish I stole one from my parents...

All right, I probably deserved that about the clotted cream. Maybe some ricotta, but now we are moving into cheese territory.

JFKimberley, have you been to the Polish store?  They've got an endless supply of different smetena.  Pick up some ham while you are there.

I am going to come up with something....I can't think of anything right now....but when I do.....when I do....

The Tar Heels are, and always have been, overrated.

Here's one!

I was driving through Jimbo's part of North Carolina one time and there was a sign that said "Mens' Activity Center 5 Miles". Then one that said "Mens' Activity Center 2 Mils" (they had spelled 'miles' wrong - because of the poor quality of the local education system).

But anyhow, two miles later I see a morose goat tied to a lamp post.
