My Polish grandmother made it all the time. Sour cream is used a lot in
Polish cooking. I do no know if that is the origins though.

We are going to be on the road for a week... but only a few days in PA.
Probably won't make it into Philadelphia, but having lived in the area
for many years, we aren't looking to do the tourist thing this trip.
Mostly we are visiting family and friends.

But.... I sure am looking forward to getting a cheese steak and Italian
hoagie while I am up there. The bread will play havoc with my guts, but
sometimes you have to make a sacrifice!

This almost sounds mid-eastern but they use yogurt instead of sour cream.

My German grandmother made cucumber slices with water & vinegar, salt
& pepper and sliced onions - I don't recall she ever made it with sour
cream.

My Swedish grandmother made it your grandmother's way with sweet &
sour vinegar (equal parts vinegar, sugar and water). Sour cream was
on the pickled herring.

Nancy, that's how I learned how to make it. I have a very old Pyrex
dish with a glass lid that keep it in, in the fridge.

The German side of the family made it with sour cream.
I think most Eastern European countries have a version
using sour cream as well as just water and vinegar.

Who's to say which actual country started it all those
millenia ago.

One of my favorite cucumber salads is the Hungarian version
that is just water, vinegar, sugar, etc.
