Smetana

[jorkin]

I have a berry brule recipe that calls for "smetana". What is it?

The only Smetena I know was a composer from Czecheslovakia.
Give us ther recipe, perhaps there was a typo or mis-translation.
All creme brulee's need are eggs, sugar, cream and flavoring like a liquor or juice.

Is that sour cream, or creme fraiche?? I'll google it up...

Yep- apparently it's Russian (probably other languages, too) for sour cream. Take a look:
