Do people consider sour cream a souce?

Milk is a saucy, you just gotta leave it on the counter long enough.

I have one of those meal delivery kit subscriptions where they send you ingredients and recipes each week for you to make their meals. I am surprised at how many different sauces can be made with sour cream. Add a little bit of water, garlic, salt and pepper, - and you’ve got a delicious white sauce that goes on almost anything.

Well yeah, no question there, but by itself it kind of doesn’t count?

Not sure what shitty kind of sour cream yall get over there, but what is known as smetana in Eastern Europe is widely employed as condiment. You can use it with meat dumplings or meatballs, or potato dumplings, or plain boiled potato or salted fish, you use it in salads, in soups like borscht. You can dip crepes or pancakes into it, or various kinds of pirozhki.

Yeah, some people even consider ketchup, mayonnaise, and mustard sauces.
Language when wielded irresponsibly can be a mysterious and terrible thing.

My son uses ketchup as if it were a sauce …

Ketchup is a sauce.
What else would it be?

Obviously it’s a sauce. I looked up the definition to try and figure out why they would say it isn’t, and I still don’t see it.
“a liquid or semisolid food mixture used especially as a topping or ingredient for adding to or enhancing the flavor of a dish”

It’s a condiment, which is not a sauce.
