Table cream appears to be an ingredient from Mexican cuisine, also known as media crema. Nestle offers cans of it in the US.
This is what the website of Target says about it:
Nestle Media Crema Table Cream adds a special touch to all your sweet and savory recipes. Use it to cook, bake or top your favorite recipes and dishes. It has a neutral flavor that will allow you to enhance the flavor of all your creamy recipes. Nestle Media Crema offers you a double consistency: liquid at room temperature or thicker if you refrigerate it. Add Mexican crema in your pasta, tacos, stews, soups and sauces, or top fruits and desserts with the light cream for a tasty treat. Each can contains 7.6 ounces of shelf stable cream. Refrigerate after opening.
The BCDC has a comparison of various milk products that includes table cream:
Coffee cream, or table cream - contains 18% milk fat.
A more extensive description of the product and it’s use cases can be found at Nestle’s website.
For your recipe, you are probably fine if you
- mix half and half with regular cream in roughly equal amounts or
- add about a quarter of milk to regular cream.

When someone says a couple how many is that?
Couple is now understood primarily to refer to two when used as a bare noun ("they make a nice couple"), but is often used to refer to a small indeterminate of two or more when used in the phrase a couple of ("I had a couple of cups of coffee and now I can't sleep.").What is never grammatically?
Never means 'at no time' and is a negative term, used in affirmative constructions (to avoid double negatives).Whats a few mean?
A small number of persons or things. This phrase can differ slightly from few used alone, which means \u201cnot many.\u201d For example, The party was to end at eight, but a few stayed on indicates that a small number of guests remained, whereas The party began at eight, and few attended means that hardly any guests came.How many does some refer to?
Some said it meant three or four. Or maybe more. The answer is that there is no hard-and-fast answer. What \u201ca few\u201d means to me might be different than what \u201ca few\u201d means to you.James Acaster On The Absurdity Of The British Empire
