Somehow or another I ended up watching a bunch of Irish People React videos, and in the episode about pizza they had a taco pizza. Looking at the image, I immediately recognized dollops of sour cream, which is a common Tex/Mex ingredient. But none of the testers knew what it was, and several of them called it ice cream.

Don't Irish people eat sour cream or crème fraîche? I thought it was the English who had limited culinary variety, not Britain...

For visual reference:

We eat sour cream and onion crisps. Does that count?

Should probably correct that before less forgiving members of Irish GAF descend on you for your error.

To address your question, I believe we have sour cream in Ireland. It's certainly an option when we're getting burritos at our growing number of burrito and taco restaurants.

 

[Fat4all]

I'm not sure how a reaction video of people misidentifying sour cream correlates to there being no sour cream in Ireland at all.

Yeah that's quite the leap lol.

Right? This wasn't about potatoes.

 

[Sarcastic Poster]

We deffo have it.

It does to me.

 

[Rest]

I'm not sure how a reaction video of people misidentifying sour cream correlates to there being no sour cream in Ireland at all.

Because several of them not only didn't know what it was but called it ice cream. Unless somebody put soft serve on that pizza I don't know how else such confusion could occur.

The British Isles are Britain to me, not the United Kingdom.

 

[Skellig Gra]

Yes there is. Ireland has excellent quality dairy products, sour cream being one of them. What they don't have much of is taco pizza which is probably where the confusion lies.

 

[Fat4all]

For visual reference:

whipped cream?

I still don't get the correlation here. In a split-moment lots of foods can be misidentified, even in odd places.

Fuck sake

 

[Costa Kid]

That visual reference looks like cream cheese.

No, there's no air in it. It's tangy, not sweet.

 

[F0rneus]

Ok this is weird. I was literally watching this video like 20 minutes ago. OP is me from an alternate timeline confirmed.

 

[Borgnine]

Can I just say I LOVE those Irish people react videos. Just give them fucks whatever and laugh your ass off.

 

[Fat4all]

No, there's no air in it. It's tangy, not sweet.

there's no 'air' in cool whip

 

[Cocaloch]

What?

Why do you think you are the arbiter of this?

 

[Htown]

the hell are crisps? you mean chips?

 

[Skellig Gra]

That visual reference looks like cream cheese.

Could be another reason those poor Irish kids in the video didn't know what it was. Sour cream in Ireland is not really as thick or sour as it is in the US.

What a bizarre thing to say.

In Ireland, just like the rest of Britain, chips are something different.

Ireland is not in Britain why do people keep saying this?

 

[MiszMasz]

[HamPster PamPster]

I remember the 8-4 Play podcast mentioning that Japan doesn't have ranch. Those poor souls. Suddenly so much about anime made sense...

 

[Rest]

Yes there is, the bubbles are small but they are there. There's no air whipped into sour cream.

 

[Keyser Soze]

I dont know where to begin

 

[Malakai]

Isn't sour cream called something Cream Fresh or something of the sort?

Yeah, when Kusoru came to the US to play Marvel 3, they snapped a pic of him in awe at the wall of Ranch in the supermarket.

I see what you did there

 

[frankie_baby]

the hell are crisps? you mean chips?

Crisps are thin slices of fried potatoes, often flavoured and sold in a bag

 

[Fat4all]

Yes there is, the bubbles are small but they are there. There's no air whipped into sour cream.

you're splitting hairs here

there's sour cream in Ireland, and your assumption was ridiculous

 

[Rest]

the hell are crisps? you mean chips?

Yes, chips there are fries, and chips are crisps. Two peoples, common language etc.

Cookies have a different word too, IIRC.

 

[brickface]

After Brexit we'll have fresh cream! None of this stuff that's gone off...

 

[Rest]

Ireland is not in Britain why do people keep saying this?

It's part of the British Isles, or Britain. Not being on Great Britain doesn't make it unBritish. It's like saying only Hawai'i is in Hawai'i.

 

[SomedayTheFire]

We do and we are not in Britain.

It's part of the British Isles, or Britain. Not being on Great Britain doesn't make it unBritish. It's like saying only Hawai'i is in Hawai'i.

No we are not. Hawai'i is one state made up of multiple islands. Britain is the island that contains England, Wales and Scotland. The United Kingdom is the union of Britain and Northern Ireland. Ireland is a completely separate country. But keep trolling.

 

[Dazzler]

Crisps are trash in North America

You don't get them in cool shapes like we do in Ireland

and not forgetting Waffles

 

[Skellig Gra]

Cookies have a different word too, IIRC.

You are thinking of biscuits. There are many many other words too.

 

[tryagainlater]

We have sour cream but I'm pretty sure we don't have any peanut butter.

 

[perfectchaos007]

Tayto

I'll always associate Tayto's with Conan O'Brien. lols

My German friends in Canada are obsessed with peanut butter.

I Can see where you are confused. It is very simple...

You're welcome!

 

[Fat4all]

is that what sour cream looks like in Ireland?

 

[Nerdkiller]

the hell are crisps? you mean chips?

I think you should owe our country some gratitude for inventing preflavoured crisps.

Also, am I the one Irishman who just hates cheese and onion crisps?

 

[SomedayTheFire]

Also the "British Isles" is not a term used in Ireland. Our government does not recognise the usage of it. Britain and Ireland is the term used.

 

[Rest]

We do and we are not in Britain.

I'm not trolling and I'm not talking about countries, I'm talking about island chains. See Hawai'i and Hawai'i. Ireland is not on Great Britain, but that doesn't mean it's not part of the British Isles. The British Isles aren't a country, they're a geographical configuration.

Also the "British Isles" is not a term used in Ireland. Our government does not recognise the usage of it. Britain and Ireland is the term used.

I mean, the US could reject the term North America, but that wouldn't make North America any less of a place.

Too complicated, I just call them all celts.

I'd like to know this also.

 

[Metroxed]

No, you are wrong. You are confusing two different things.

Britain =/= British Isles
(Great) Britain = Great Britain

Britain and Great Britain are the same place, an island where England, Wales and Scotland are located (and NOT Ireland!), whereas the British Isles are made up of (Great) Britain, the isle of Ireland and some others.

Ireland is evidently not in Britain.
