Sour cream on mexican food.

Am I the only one here who thinks sour cream on tacos or burritos is fucking weird and not at all tasty? Go to any authentic Mexican place, and they won't do that unless you ask, so it really seems Americanized and unnaturally gross to put that on a taco.

Same with Ranch on Pizza. I don't understand why people like that shit either. What's next? Cream cheese on Sushi?..... ah fuck that too?! (see what I mean)



...point of this is, why the fuck do we have to put white-ass (literally and figuratively) American condiments over ethnic foods that, well.. personally I feel are far better as a stand-alone meal? Anyone feel the same way?

I've never been much of a sour cream fan.

I also don't like anything with my sushi except rice. I hate all these americanized fried roll variations.

I think those are all good.
Also, ketchup on french fries. Ketchup isn't french.

French Fries aren't either. Just like how Hamburgers don't come from Hamburg, Germany.

OK ranch on pizza is a totally different thing. Its just disgusting. I only put condiments or sauces on food if it taste dry or bad. If it is Mexican food i do like some kind of habanero or spicy sauce on it though.

No way dude... even if it's like, Taco bell dog-food meat, I'd rather taste the rest of the burrito than have it smothered in white blandness of sour cream, that basically just takes away the taste of the rest of the meal.

If you like Sour Cream that much, just buy sour cream and eat it on it's own, rather than ruining a perfectly good burrito with that shit.

See, habanero or some kind of hot sauce makes fucking SENSE on mexican food.. sour cream though? that's all sorts of mindfuck to me.

I mean, you wouldn't put sour cream on a fahzani or a calzone or a Gyro... why tacos?

i agree that there can be such a thing as too much sour cream.

but a respectable helping on mexican foods is always welcome in my books.

IMO i think condiments was to made to cover up the dryness and bland taste of foods that people don't like. I only add sour cream to my burritos or tacos if it is extremely dry and bland. Besides that it just ruins the original flavor of the food.

I put sour cream on just about every Mexican food. And false, they actually do use it. However it's usually spiced.

place near me does this, smoked salmon and cream cheese inside out (rice on the outside). I think they call it a philadelphia roll. I actually really like it, but I like their other ones like the fantastic roll (tuna, salmon, spicy sauce, eel sauce, avocado, shrimp tempura) or the dragon roll a little better. I also like a little sour cream with mexican food, and ranch with pizza, but only if its take out crap haha, not on flat bread. There is one place near my school that makes sicilian style pizza (like really thick), but in slices instead of squares and they usually have buffalo chicken, with buffalo sauce instead of tomato sauce, and chicken bacon ranch the same way. They are so good

What! Sour cream and ranch are the two best condiments in the world. Put them on everything. Bland? Order some taste buds dude!

I go through both ranch dressing and sour cream like a mad man, I don't put them on everything, but when I do, I use half of a container. And it's funny you brought up cream cheese, the most wonderful spread in the world. Could eat a brick straight.

I believe that sour cream is basically a variant of a commonly used mexican ingredient: Crema. It's just slightly thicker than the cream commonly found in Mexican dishes.

I do not. fuck that shit.

Butter. Salt. Seasonings, Bacon bits. WHY ON EARTH would you want sour cream to cover up the taste of those things.

WHY ON EARTH would you put in bacon bits? They're little pieces of "I wish I tasted like bacon" -- your potato = ruined.

Anyone who doesn't bake their potato twice is an idiot anyway.

You bake - you open - you mash epic ingredients - you put back in - you put chedda on top - and you bake again.

Food fools. Get me every time.

People to this to even out the flavor ratio. That is what all condiments are for.
A perfect meal is supposed to have a perfect sweet:sour:bitter:salty:umami ratio. Condiments, side dishes, and whatever else you want to do to your food will change the ratio for better or worse.

Crema is originally a french thing... and it's only popular in certain parts of Mexico most of which were kinda taken over by the French leading up to the whole Cinco De Mayo Battle of Puebla shit.

If you go to mexico, they don't usually put crema on tacos... it's more for saucy dishes like enchiladas - which is a whole entirely different thing.

I am still confused at the "sour cream masks the taste" argument. It most definitely does not. Baked potato = always sour cream. And I agree with the first part, real bacon or nothing.

I feel like twice baked potatoes have their place. I eat both, usually only have twice baked when my mom makes this awesome buffalo chicken dish with home made sauce and mad chicken poured all over a twice baked. Mmmmhmmmmmm yea.

Because putting strips of bacon on a potato = either you eat the whole strip of bacon or you fuck up your potato trying to cut it.

also, mustard. fuck that noise.

Uhhh... what kind of human being doesn't like to put bacon bits on everything? I mean. It's fucking bacon! It's like the fairy dust of the food!

You bake it once. During that time, you make bacon. Then, you take the bacon and put it in the potato along with PEPPERJACK. NOT BORING ASS KRAFT BULLSHIT YELLOW AMERICAN CHEDDAR... THEN you bake again. Put on salt, butter, seasonings, put it down with some whiskey, and holy irish god of the tato, you are in heaven.

Or you can just make it crispy, and break it up in your hands into the potato... making LEGIT bacon bits (I didn't mean facon imitation bits. those are gross as shit and are just bits of red coloured salt, if I'm not mistaken)

Okay, now how is that different from bacon bits?

If I had little squares of paper and squished them into little balls, would it still be paper?

Bacon Bits are processed dried pieces of 'bacon' that have a shelf life. Completely different than freshly frying your bacon.

That's like saying boxed mashed potatoes is the same as making them from scratch.

I realize now that after reading Seans post that we may be having the same mixed communication.

I am talking about Bacon Bits, the brand, Baco's or whatever they're called.

Not making your own bacon bits from frying your own bacon.

It's not terrible, but only really use it to mask flavours if the food sucks, or if it's really fuckin spicy. Good mexican food shouldn't require sour cream though.

This pisses me off too. Sour cream just makes all the chips super soggy and takes away the cheese flavour - which is the whole fucking point of nachos...


and anyone who uses sour cream to make something NOT as spicy as it is, is a wuss and needs to grow a pair, or go home haha.

I hate sour cream, like the worst feeling is when you forget to ask to get the sour cream taken off a taco or what not, and you get that mouthful of sour cream on the first bite. Simply the worst.
