I've just discovered that sour cream was available in squeeze bottles. We've used ketchup in squeeze bottles for a long time, so I wonder why there are still restaurants that have it in glass bottles. We used to use mustard in glass jars, but switched to squeeze bottles. A few times, I've also seen green relish in these bottles, packaged together with ketchup and mustard.
Are there any other condiments available in squeeze bottles? How new is the sour cream squeeze bottle? It seems new to me because I have only seen it in plastic cups before. Are they starting to put more things in sqeeze bottles or had I only started to notice?
Sour cream in squeeze bottles? A travesty! Now how are we supposed to do with sour cream what the IPU intended, which is make it into California Dip?
California Dip
You need:
1 carton sour cream ("lite" is every bit as good as regular)
1/2 package Lipton onion soup mix
Open sour cream carton. Spoon in a smidgen of soup mix and stir thoroughly to incorporate. Repeat until half the package of soup mix is gone. (You can use the other half for meatloaf.) Be careful not to get too aggressive, or else there will be spillage and spillage wastes the California Dip.
Some people say you can serve this with veggie crudites, but they are full of shit. The only thing that will do for conveying California Dip from the carton to your mouth is original flavor (plain) Ruffles brand potato chips. (Or cold leftover French fries, if you are lucky enough to have some around.)
I confess that the last time I had wretched PMS -- rare for me -- I made and consumed an entire former sour cream carton of California Dip with an entire humongoid bag of Ruffles. In bed. It took me awhile to get the grease stains out of the sheets. There was no hope for the copy of The Guermantes Way that I was reading at the time; it is still full of California Dip splatters and translucent fingerprints.
My favorite thing in a squeeze bottle remains sriracha sauce. I have no idea whether "sriracha" is the name of the sauce, or of the region, or what, but it is delicious, very tangy and spicy, and it comes in a clear plastic bottle with a lime-green cap and a picture of a rooster on the front. Hurracha sriracha!
I like that Thai red chili sauce in a squeeze bottle.
I haven't ever seen sour cream in a squeeze bottle. I bet sour cream went out and got a PR agent in order to market itself to stay ahead of that weirdo creme fraische all the fru-fru culinary rage these days.
