. I simply love my Dips! I really enjoy eating snacky type food in the evening; in fact, if it is just me to cook for then sometimes I will just eat snacks rather than making a proper dinner. Not that I would recommend that on a frequent basis! There are various dips I like but this one is definitely one of my favourites . The reason for this is not simply the taste; it is also because this particular flavour goes really well with all sorts of snacky foods. In regard to the actual taste and texture; its quite thick and you can taste the chives in it; it has a great flavour. What I also like about it, is that it is not runny; I hate it when you sometimes get dips ...  Read the complete review

Sour cream is a traditional product made of cream usually it contains 12 to 16 per cent butterfat and gets its 'tang' from lactic acid created by the bacterial process.

Tesco Soured Cream and Chive Dip is usually 86p for a 200g pot. I picked it up the other week when it was on offer for slightly less than this, and now it's on offer again at present with two tubs available for £1.50, which makes them 75p each. That's not bad given how expensive soured cream is in the first place, let alone once they've added extras to it. My first impressions of this were decent enough.

When I poured some out onto our meals though, I quickly realised ...  Read the complete review
