Default Pobre Elote! Why can't corn be low carb??? :D

Here in Mexico there are tons of street vendors, some of them ride around on tri-cycle carts selling different foods or wares. There is one that would be PERFECT for LC's, if not for the corn!

ELOTE!

(elote means corn )

The man comes riding his trycicle around the neighborhood yelling "EEELLOOOOOOOTTTEEEEEE" (ay-low-tay) and people come running - because they're INSANE! And because the elote's gooooood.

The ingredients go like this -

A steaming hot cup of field corn (they don't know about sweet corn here)
A dollop of butter (dollop means big)
A dollop of mayo
A squirt of mexican crema (like sour cream, a little less sour)
A squirt of nacho-type cheese
A generous sprinkle of finely grated paresean cheese
(lime juice if you want it)
and then your choice of chile (salsa)
Warm or HOT.


I was aaammmaaazzed when I first moved here and saw this insane concoction but how could you NOT love it?? Ingredients 2-5 are....I don't know, a Paula Dean wet dream? Just crazy.

Now though, I of course don't eat it, but I kinda wish the elote man would also carry arond some green beans so I could share in the fun!
