When my mother first became aware of sour cream and anchovy, she must have read in some cook book, that you can make a dip with it. This kind of dip is not very popular, but my family just gobbles it up. It’s good with CHIPS and with vegetables (crudités). From my mother’s original recipe, as usual, I have toyed with it and added an ingredient or two to make it a bit more yummy. This goes so well with chips when you just want to veg out in front of the television or your computer. Dip on!!!!
