I have a rule about substances that do not belong together. I am still formulating this rule, but part of it says that CHEESE and SALAD DRESSING never, ever coincide in the same thing.
(You may grate cheese over your salad, and then put some salad dressing on, but that's not the same thing. Because I said so.)
Also, sour cream (which is practically cheese) and mayo (which is gross) should never go into the same thing either. That is like putting mayo on your mayo! How much mayo can one person
need
?
I don't drink heavy cream right out of the carton, either. Isn't that basically what we're talking about, in terms of semi-liquid animal fats?
I just saw someone eating it on a Travel Channel extreme foods show this weekend, and apparently there's enough of the toxin in the fish's tissues to have that numbing effect even if it's correctly prepared.
What are your views on honey mustard or chinese chicken salad (rice vinegar, soy sauce, ginge,sesame oil & a little sugar) dressings?
Sour cream and mayo together make the best dips ever.
bottled ranch dressing -- I usually thin down with lemon juice and sometimes water
There are a number of sweet salad dressing that I enjoy. I eat salad for lunch just about every day, so variety is good. Raspberry based dressing is the yum, and I have a key lime variety (don't know if it is available other places) that is tangy and sweet and yummy. If I am eating out and the restaurant doesn't have a tasty sounding house dressing I'll go for blue cheese every time. Because tasty cheese!
eta: Honey mustard can be yum, but I prefer a spicer variety, some are too sweet.

It is allowed to continue existing.
(I make my own honey mustard, and it is mustard and honey and olive oil, so there isn't even a cream/cheese/mayo issue!)
In totally other thinking, I've been mulling politics. Would Hillary make a good cabinet minister if Obama wins? Oh, wait, secretary. Darn my imperialist leanings.
If you want health care reform, Hillary would probably be more helpful in the Senate than in a cabinet position.
