Chocolate Chips and Sour Cream

chocolate chip morsels



sour cream

I try everything once. This is a phrase that I say here a lot. I would never want to offend anyone, so I will always try whatever is prepared(except the fish...I never eat the fish here...).

The other day, a Moldovan by the name of Victor, suggested to me in conversation that I should try sour cream and chocolate chips together. He said, "It is SO good!!" It sounded pretty crazy to me (not crazy as a lot of things though). I told him I would try it.

So, we had chocolate chip morsels in the apartment. Don't be fooled. We cannot buy them here. A team from America brought them in abundance and lavished them upon the missionary community. THANKS. One day I will use them to make some dessert that is right tasty.

But TODAY....I had other plans for those choc.chips.I wanted to try them with the sour cream.

Now, the sour cream here tastes way different to me than it does in America. The sour cream here kind of reminds me more of yogurt. BUT I like it. Strange, because I don't like yogurt at all(here or there). In spite of my dislike for yogurt, I have grown to really enjoy sour cream or smintina/smantana as it is called here. It has been my experience that most Moldovans LOVE sour cream. You can put it on a multitude of things i.e. bread, soup, meat... here.

ANYWAY, I tried it. It was not out right NASTY, but let's just say it wasn't good!!

Lesson: So, if you are ever in the mood to mix two random items just for kicks, don't mix chocolate chips and sour cream.

Question:
What are two things that you eat together that is tasty but unusual?? Please comment...
