Discussions of dried food reminded me of an item that I've been unable to find - sour cream mix. I've seen this referenced in several trailfood books - recipes calling for "1 sour cream mix packet". I've never found a just-add-water sour cream mix (or any kind of mix for that matter). Has anyone else? If so, please share brand names / sources. I found a place that sells 5 gallon pails - but that seemed to be a bit extreme!! Or, do people dry their own? Not sure if that would be possible. To me, sour cream could be a real shot to otherwise blah one-pot meals.

I have a old old note from my local club list that people were finding Knorr Swiss brand sour cream. They make dry-envelope soups, and the sour cream mix is usually there in any supermarket that sells Knorr brand stuff. Advice is to mix it a little stiffer than sugggested, using powdered milk.

Thanks for the responses regarding powdered sour cream - here is a summary: Knorr Brand suggested, contacted company and they no longer produce this product King Arthur Flour website suggested - contacted them and they do not have it. Two website sources: $22 for a 10 pound can of sour cream powder: http://beprepared.com/product.asp?pn=FS%20D055 $16 for a 3 pound can of sour cream powder: http://store.honeyvillegrain.com/browseproducts/Sour-Cream-Powder-CAN.html So...it appears at this point that if you have some friends that want to split up a big container that would be an option, 10 lbs would go a long way!! I assume the stuff would keep for a long, long time in powder form. Thanks again to everyone who replied.

You can make a surprisingly good faux sour cream if you experiment a bit using a heap of milk powder, a small pinch of salt and a squeeze of lemon juice. Not as good as the real thing but passable on nachos etc. A rumbling stomach fires the imagination and makes things taste better I find. At home I sour plain low-fat yoghurt with a shot of lemon juice as a substitute for sour cream. r Keith Wrage wrote: > Discussions of dried food reminded me of an item that I've been unable > to find - sour cream mix.
