No he is gone.  Like I said he seemed to prefer sour cream over store bought yogurt.  I never asked him to elaborate on why.

In addition to Adamantius' comments, quoted by Stefan,
about the differing strains of little bugs souring the
cream, Middle Eastern folk tend to use a lot more goat
and sheep milk than we do here- most of our milk comes
from cows, and that would cause a large flavor
difference right there. Are you on sufficiently good
terms with your ex F-in-law, that you might ask him if
this might be the case?
