I was making cheesecake last week and i went to buy the ingredients, one of them was Sour Cream but i didn�t find it, i looked in Alcampo, big supermarket and Hipercor, instead i used French Cream, "creamfrech" can�t remember how to spell it, sorry!. Anybody has bought this here before, i also looked for "nata agria" but nothing. Impossible to buy blueberries either. If i manage to find everything i will share the cake!!!
Thanks and Regards<br /> Ruth and Thom

I've used Creme Freisch in the past as well. It's a good substitute. However, this past weekend, I found sour creme 'como dios manda' for the first time ever inside of the Hipercor at Xanad� in Arroyomolinos in the Mexican food section of all places. They also had Peanut butter and Maseca, which is used to make tamales, flour tortillas, enciladas, etc. I was in heaven.
You may want to check an Hipercor in your area. Hopefully they'll have a similar selection. Good luck...

Hola: You can make your own sour cream using creme fraiche or "real" cream, the kind used in coffee or for whipping. Just add a tablespoon of lemon juice per cup of cream, stir it up well and let it stand for a couple of hours; then pour off the accumulated liquid. Et voila!

hey ruth and tom..... if you buy the yogurt called Yogur Griego it is a dead ringer for sour cream. Danone makes the best. I use it anytime a recipe calls for sour cream. It is delish.
btw...when are we going to meet you at a mm partee? we missed you last time.

I'm no expert, being a reknown "cheese-phobic" :b: and all, but when I worked at Taste of America, they "instructed" me to refer people who asked about sour cream to the 'quesitos Quark', they're from Danone I believe....

They have quark here??? We have that in Amsterdam and the vanilla flavor is wicked good. I always thought it was some type of yogurt though, I didn't know it was cheese. Dannon vanilla kwark is really good drizzled on apple pie.
