Hi Everyone,
It is a simple sauce-condiment made with few ingredients. But get it wrong and it will ruin the pleasure and enjoyment of the food it was made to accompany. A couple of weeks ago I was miserably disappointed with the Sour that came with the two egg balls I bought. It was something that was definitely not Sour. It was not even sour.
First, the colour was greenish but I was not put off by it because I know that a lot of people get creative with Sour – mixing various unripe and naturally acidic fruits as well as fresh green herbs. However, there was not a hint of tartness in the Sour, it lacked salt and there was no
discernable flavour. It was a bland mass. As is the wont of many of us Guyanese, we like Sour, and a lot of it with our savoury snack-foods, therefore, when the Sour falls short of its taste and flavour, it becomes a serious matter.
