lol Hi Atty!

~~~~~~~~~~ Hi AB

 

[tiburonfirst]

Why don't American dairy companies make "Creme Fraiche"? I know you can make it yourself a day ahead of time at home...if you buy cream and buttermilk. But....sheesh! and $$$$

Maybe just my location.

There's more than just "American Sour Cream" in this world. They could call it something else...Like "Tart Cooking Cream" or something.

Hi all.

supposed to be available in the better supermarkets, lol - alas, missing in my neck of the woods

starting supper .............

 

[AttyPops]

I can FIND it...if
1) I search stores for it outside my regular area
2) Pay through the nose

C.F. should be as ubiqutious as sour cream. It's just a different culture. It doesn't have to be identical to the French version. Just usable. I don't even want to debate one vs the other. Give it a different name. But sell it at a reasonable cost like sour cream. It's less tart and doesn't curdle when used for cooking.

I've made it several times in the past with buttermilk and cream. It's a "cheat". Not 100% identical, but acceptable.

Hi all.

ummm. thank the FDA? Last i heard (several years ago) it was illegal in alabama , because it's not pasturized, and thus deemed "not safe" .

Hi y'all

Really???

Every market in CA carries creme fraiche--even Trader Joe's... Hey Atty, I'll send you a tub! Just need your addy!

Hiya Snails--this is a quick pit stop. DD is coming home from school, the little DD is graduating--busy time.

SUG!

 

[AttyPops]

Bah. They could make "Sour Cooking Creme" (note spelling change) right here in the USA as a functional substitue for the real thing. Same way they make sour cream, just use a different culture.

And meet all pasteurization goals. It's attitude. And maybe middle-man import markup $$$ in the way.

Shoe, it's just Bear being his usual self.

Thank you, but there's no need to make excuses for me.

 

[SilverBear]

your crass and fatuous diatribes in response to the snobbish, elitist, sanctimonious or whomever these 'other people' are is at least equally reprehensible to propriety.
