I have some fresh raviolis. Some are lobster with different cheeses, some are crab with different cheeses, and yet another type are spinach with different cheeses. I looked up a cream sauce recipe with white onions, garlic, tomato paste, herbs, salt, and pepper (as well as a little of the starchy water the pasta was boiled in).
My problem is a language barrier which never should have even been an issue. I wanted to make a cream sauce for the pasta which requires cream. I sent her to the store to buy cream, as in what you put in your coffee, but then she calls me (which I appreciate BTW) asking is sour cream is the same, no, it is not, is whipped cream the same, no, it is not, is heavy whipping cream the same? Nope.
I want regular cream, in Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa it is called light cream but in the US, Canada, the UK, and Ireland it is simply called cream. WTF? I need cream, not whipped cream, not heavy whipping cream, and sure as shit not sour cream. So shit pisses me off.
