It isn't Mexican food unless it has sour cream... (restaurants, avocado, garlic) - Food and Drink -cooking, cuisine, meat, vegetables, restaurants, diet, prices, allergies... - City-Data Forum

So if you are eating Mexican food do you need to pile sour cream on it? My SIL frosts me! We go out to eat and she orders an appetizer and totally pours sour cream all over it

I have never seen any one person eat this much sour cream and at 400 pounds she should back off a bit. Anybody agree with this statement

dab of sour cream and lots of guac for me

Can't imagine why she's 400 pounds

Maybe she should have a little sour cream with her food, versus a little food with her sour cream?

I agree with that the guac needs to accompany the sour cream

I like sour cream on some of my mexican foods, but I am not 400lbs...

Yuck. Mexican food needs cilantro, lime, onion, garlic, and hopefully some avocado. I don't need cheese, sour cream, or any deep-fried junk with mine. (well, maybe a few totopos de maiz.. it's authentic, right?

)

Ick. Pass on the sour cream, please.

Ha ha she won't eat guac

She claims it bothers her GERD. So in Mexico do they serve heaps of sour cream? I have not traveled to Mexico

Small amounts of a light condiment called "crema" is added to really hearty/spicy foods sometimes, but not always. It's not as thick and rich as what we think of as sour cream.

I don't really put sour cream on mexican food often. most mexican places i like don't really use it much anyway.

I can't think of a Mexican dish that uses sour cream. Most Restaurants in this town serve Mexican cuisine! I personally love sour cream though on many things!! It wouldn't be good for anyone to eat a lot of I'm sure!
