Mayonnaise or Sour cream?

OMG yes! I love bouncing cooking ideas off each other. Great idea.

I love chicken enchiladas.

Me too!!! But that's so funny... after posting I thought, "Silly doesn't care what I'm going to do with it." But I was -- very happily -- wrong!

Have you ever made green chili chicken lasagna? Basically the same as enchiladas, but with lasagna pasta instead of tortillas, and Monterey Jack instead of Mozarella. I've had it with straight green enchilada sauce, but I like to mix the enchilada sauce with Alfredo sauce and some chopped fire roasted green chilis. Yum!

I don't understand how anyone could possibly confuse mayonnaise with sour cream!!

Mayonnaise is delicious! Sour cream is disgusting!

Mayonnaise is like sunshine. Sour cream is like...well, that present you discover your dog left you on the lawn when mowing.

Sour cream was cream once, but someone left it out in the broiling sun for a few days, then said..."hey, I've got an idea; let's eat this!!" MMMMmmmmmmm...**GAK!**

ETA - Sour cream tastes like someone already ate it once...and they didn't like it either!

Here you get fries with mayo.
All other potato snacks like wedges, country potatoes, curly fries, they come with sour-cream normally.


Personally I prefer sour-cream.

Here? Where?

I have never seen or heard in my life anyone substituting sour cream for mayo or vise versa!

I can't even imagine mayo with any mexican food and I have a ton of mex friends and love the food.

Mayo on fries? Maybe if it is a sauce mix catsup/mayo but alone?

Miracle Whip used to be like the poor man's mayo back in the day

Way less fattening!

Now to be honest in mexican restaurants here they serve the nachos with salsa and a white dip that is mayo based.
Its made with miracle whip this time because plain mayo doesnt work and sour cream and has cilantro and lime juice and red pepper flakes and is very very good also.
Here is a recipe for that dip. Try it next time you have nachos.

Interesting recipe. Never seen that at a Mexican restaurant but I look forward to trying that recipe.

I've cheated and used yogurt for sour cream once or twice.

Lol. I made chicken burritos once and afterwards realized I didn't have any sour cream. I ended up using some tzatziki I had from a Greek restaurant.

Strange they don’t get the two straight. But then again you all drink warm beer, call French fries chips and drive on the wrong side of the road, so.......no tell’n why. You kinda lost me at wanting mayo with your fries anyways, LOL. Love them with ranch though.

Ya big girls blouse ya...

Nowt wrong with a pint of Tets or John Smiths Hand pulled by a large anatomicaly endowed cheery barmaid (or her miserable sod of a boss) at room temperature and a bag of chips soggily drowned in salt n vinegar...

Ya big puff ya!

Saying that : I have now become posh as I live in France and only drink red wine and eat my French fries with REAL home made mayonnaise.

I still put mayo on Taco meat, sour cream is just too much most of the time. No Idea how they would mix them up though, but to be fair we just don't do much sour cream over here, I didn't even know what it was til I had my first Taco.

Germany, they ask you "mayo or ketchup" for the fries. Some want both
I prefer sour cream too. If the fries are good I just need salt. No ketchup or anything else.

Certain parts of the USA serve something called 'fry sauce'. It's basically mayo and ketchup. Then you get different add-ins depending on where you are, like Worcestershire sauce, black pepper, horseradish, garlic, pickle juice, paprika... lots of variations but it all starts with ketchup and mayo. Mostly mayo.

As to the original question, I've substituted Greek yogurt for sour cream. And I've substituted Miracle Whip for mayo. Miracle Whip is basically mayo with some zing. I actually prefer Miracle Whip on a turkey sandwich, but otherwise it's not a big factor in my repertoire.

The only thing I ever use ketchup for is frankfurters, just doesn't do anything for me with other things. Mayo on chips is absolute heaven though, and we have this spice called ''American chip spice'' God I love that stuff on chips whenever I have had it.

I never heard of it before, but it seems to be a Brit thing.

That's the one, I don't know about the south, but up north that stuff is as popular as salt, and is in almost every chip shop or take away I have been to.

That's how it is in Puerto Rico. Between that and Chimichurri, it's their "salt and pepper" on tables, or so I was told.

Plain, crispy fries with salt and pepper are absolute heaven. I never add or dip them in anything.
