English native speakers, pronounce "sour cream"

[Dr_Grip]

Dear all,
during breakfast I had a discussion with a female friend of mine about the correct pronouciation of "sour cream". So, I'd like ask the British, American, Australian and other native-english-speaking members of FinalGear to record them saying "sour cream" and posting it here.

I will set up the camera later and I will record myself saying it.

Only a German could create a thread like this.

No offense

I figured while asking one native speaker about the correct pronouciation would be a good way to settle this dispute, but asking lots of native speakers is even better

What the hell is "sour cream"? :?

Here in the states, if it were spelled how it sounded it would look like *sower creem*.

More importantly, Dr_Grip, how are you? pronouncing it?

Zower kr(plegm)eeem, probably.

Phonetically the Aussies would be more like seer crame.

I may apply my skills in mimicry and take you around the globe later.

It was not around in the 1970's, so you need not worry about it.

Now, go back in your Tardis and have a lie down.

It's what happens why you see Lorraine Kelly in a bikini.

This link has a good pronunciation in both American and British accents: http://www.forvo.com/word/sour_cream/

Although this doesn't seem like something that would be debated. What possible other pronunciations could there be?

 

[idk]

I'd pronounce it just like Sauerkraut, just Sauer Cream Mhh... now that I say it, why does it always sound funny when native English speakers say Sauerkraut when there is sour also in their own vocabulary and pronounced exactly the same at least as far as I know. Now I'm interested

See my earlier post. I've written down at least a dozen accents so far and haven't left the UK yet!!!

 

[captain_70s]

You don't cook a lot, do you?

I do... but if it involves anything other than pies, chips, pizza or burgers I deem it too complicated and don't bother.

The Kiwis replace all vowels with just the letter i.
