Elotes are disgusting, beaners have no sense of taste

>>14334947
Are you thinking Arby's?

>>14334947

No, but it already disgusts me.

>>14334953
careful with that edge, hombre

>>14334972
It tastes a lot better than it sounds, weirdly. But I refuse to eat it more than once a year.

>>14334947
>t. hecho en california

>>14334967
I do think Arby's sometimes, but not tonight.
Tonight, it's corn. First, slathered in mayonnaise.

You're going to lube the corn with mayo, season it with flavored salt, then insert it into your rectum?

>>14335013
>>14335006
Oh fuck I called it didn't I

Can't wait to see where the cheese goes

>>14334947
Two reasons for mayo:
1) Mayonnaise is a shelf-stable ingredient they don't need to refrigerate to and from their worksite. No coolers needed for butter. Canisters are hermetically sealed (kept in the shade), but until they are opened, they're fine not to refrigerate, and they run through their jars in literal minutes.
2) Mexican mayonesa is not the formula we know. It tastes like lime juice because it's made with lime juice, and is made with corn oil. And it's eggier, not oilier. So it's not the canola-vinegar bomb we have.

So, corn is grilled in the husk, yum, you're asked if you want it peeled back for you, and charred as well. As soon as it's ready to your liking, it's brushed with mayo with a literal paintbrush, and the mayo melts really, an offer of lime juice Y/N, then a spoon will be used to sprinkle the fresh cotija (not aged cotija) until it's on all sides adhered to the base coat. The younger less aged cotija used is sort of salty, a bit like feta, not quite as funky and dry as parmesan. Tajin is pictured there, but that's got dried lime, it's for the home cook. Chef will have a salt-chili blend instead.

That's how it all started, as the roast corn guy....and you added the topping yourself at some places. Many people just added nothing, some hit it with lime alone, and yet some others with chili-salt, and nothing more. You probably paid your deposit and picked out your own drink from the big ass barrel full of ice there too, because his hands were busy, but he might wipe off the ice water with a rag before opening it for you.

It can be a mess to eat, and more than 1 portion, so the elotes sliced off the cub is added as a service. The overdressed with mayo and cheese is all part of the competition, the literal show of extreme this or that for the money. But, be assured that they'll asking the customer exactly what they want. Some places are boiling corn now, not roasting.

I love Mexican food but this shit is disgusting

>>14334947
I know EXACTLY what you're thinking

>>14335025
Based elote expert. Interesting info, thanks for sharing.

Oh good for you. Your radar found a typo and it triggered your racism. Keep up the good fight!

I speak English as a first language, and my Shift key works properly, unlike your incorrect acronym of "esl" which should be ESL. Maybe you confused my expertise on a subject to be evidence of a foreign passport? It's not. It's from a very well stamped passport.

>>14335330
RACISM? I never said anything about racism. But thanks, Rick Bayless.

>>14335330
lmao reddit faggot SEETHING

>>14335025
Corn is actually good. (Many will disagree.) But you have to mix it with tuna and mayonnaise, not mayonnaise by itself. You need some protein.

mexicans and their fucking lime in everything
this has got to be some kind of retarded meme, right?

>>14335407
I mean a lot of their foods are savory and very hot. The added sour sweetness just puts your brain into overdrive.

>>14335407
lime is very versatile

>>14335407
It's to kill the germs dropped off by the fly that just landed on the food first and foremost.

>>14335510
Ketchup is versatile, as well. You can put it on your cupcakes, you can put it in your asshole. It goes in EVERYTHING

>>14334978
he's right you fucking faggot.

>>14335504

Because flies eat garbage, animal and human manure, and consume other bacteria-laden materials, they are vectors for and are capable of transmitting more than 60 different serious illnesses. How? Well, after a fly lands on something and consumes it, it SHITS out or VOMITS up all that extra weight weighing it down before lift-off.
The way they know if a mosquito can pass on a disease to a human, ie a vector of disease, is a little different because the proboscis is self-cleaning. They look to see if the microbe can pass through the stomach barrier and head to excrement. Moquitos drink their fill of blood or whatever else they consume with their proboscis, then pee out their waste right into your wound or on your plate, yay!

So, yea, pouring something of a certain pH, an acid on your food, or wiping the top of your bottle with a wedge of lime is biocidal. Flavorwise, its win-win, but primarily, it is to increase food safety. Beer can do the rest.

>>14334947
I think so OP but isn't sodomizing a dog with a corn cob is illegal.

Thinking this looks nice.

>>14334947

>>14335700
/ck/ has a large East Asian userbase, and pretty much every country over there has a culture based on hating Japan for being the one successful colonial power from the region.

>>14335641
Looks pretty gross but do what makes you happy in this life

Ur supposed to use queso cotija not parmesan bruh did I just fall for the bait

>>14335553

>>14335827

>>14334978
Fuck off back to r*ddit

Just the baizuo, kikes, and faggots

>>14335641
Looks good OP fuck the haterz

I'm not even a huge fan of the Aztec food but I'd rock that, thanks for the idea.

>>14334947
corn is ribbed for pleasure?
Mayo for lube?
and chilli for excitment?
parmesan to remind you of that smegma taste?

how the fuck should we know?

>>14335006
This is a worksafe board, I know you want to stuff that up your butt but please don't.

>>14334947
>You know what I'm thinking?

>>14334947
YOURE A FUCKING RETARDED ASS GRINGO

THE ONLY THING YOU DID RIGHT WAS GET TAJIN

YOU DONT USE MAYO, YOU USE FUCKING CREMA

YOU DONT USE PARMESAN YOU ABSOLUTE FICKING IDIOT, YOU USE COTIJA

WHERE THE FUCK IS THE FRESH FINELY CUT CILANTRO?

and I hope to god you’re grilling that corn

This is the most disgraceful elote I’ve ever seen prepared

>>14335037
It’s actually pretty good. It’s nowhere near as bad as various tostilocos abominations. I prefer getting the elote already off the cob in a cup, makes it much less messy to eat.

I really like it. Doesn't sound good but is good.

Nice try taking the credit as always Califaggots, but Mexico gets the credit for inventing this.

>>14335025
Get a load of this guy

>>14337400
I have to admit, I cringed pretty damn hard at the parmesan. Is this what honkeys actually think it tastes like? Have they ever even had it authentic? I need lemon juice and cayenne pepper on mine or else it just ain't right.

>>14335641
Do Americans really

>>14339507
I have had authentic elotes with cotija and can say that parmesan is a worthy substitute.
The store I was in only had shitty "Tropical" brand cotija that was cut with fillers. Reading the package, the second ingredient after regular cotija was "imitation cotija". Ain't paying for that shit. Also ain't going to another store for one ingredient late at night.
Anyway, it was delicious and satisfying.

>>14334947
Mexican here. Most domesticated Chicanos will call anything Mexican. They cook the corn, which makes it tasteless.
Corn on the cob is good, but only when grilled for a Sunday BBQ. the heat brings up the juices, bringing up the yellow look. Tastes better with butter instead of mayonnaise. Powdered spices and parmesan are added, but that's personal preference.

>>14340194
How do you feel about dorito crumbs added to the outside?

>>14340216
