and she's not a fan of spicy/hot and messy and she tries to steer clear of garlic/onion and she wants to watch the fat intake as well.

I have learned to add real cream, real butter, real cheese, and cream cheese to any hot chili dishes. Oil  and dairy help to calm the burning sensation. Water makes the experience worse.

Ceviche Health Risks/Re: Suggestions for Mexican Food?

ceviche?

At least a few words of explanation are called for, especially whenever suggesting a dish with a foreign name, don't you think?

•  Ceviche is distinctive for being "cooked" only, in effect, by chemical action caused by its acidic marinade/pickling; it's never cooked by heat (not even briefly).  Alas, the heatless preparation peculiar to this dish exposes humans to genuine health risks.

I've originated a new topic "Ceviche and escabeche" for discussing those risks, in the CathInfo subforum in which it plainly belongs: "Health and Nutrition".  <https://www.cathinfo.com/health-and-nutrition/ceviche-and-escabeche/> (q.v.).

Of course, regardless of whatever you order, you're vulnerable to any improper handling in the chain of custody from the raw suppliers to the restaurant, and from any unsanitary habits of restaurant staff.  The latter, I've read somewhere, can be rather reliably judged from the condition of the rest-rooms.
