I remember an episode of "Friends" where Ross said to Monica that she used to hang out with a Ukrainian exchange student back in high school. Monica replies: "Yes, because his mom used to put sour cream on everything."
Sour cream in indeed a condiment of choice in most of Eastern European kitchens, and definitely in the Lithuanian cuisine as well. We add it to everything - potato dishes, meat dishes, pastry dishes, veggie dishes, savory dishes, sweet dishes - you just can't go wrong with it! We cook with it, it is also the base of most gravies. Thinking zeppelins, potato pie, potato pancakes? Sour cream makes or breaks them!
