My father-in-law George loved to eat good food. However, he was a very finicky eater when it came to a few things. One of the things he wouldn't touch was sour cream. He would even go as far as having my mother-in-law boil potoatoes for him when she was making mashed potatoes because he didn't want her sneaking sour cream into the potatoes. One Sunday not long after Nathan and I got married, I brought this fruit salad to our family dinner. George LOVED it and I think probably ate three servings. Afterwards he was always asking me to make "that salad" for family functions. Months later as we were eating together and George was on his second helping, his daughter Natalie said, "Dad, you know that salad is made with sour cream." He never ate it again.
