I love guacamole. I mean, given the opportunity, I will eat it, in almost all of its forms.
But when it comes to making guacamole at home, I am a purist. Ingredients:
Salt to taste. I like cilantro and I like lime. I don’t think they have any place in guacamole. In fact, I am not sure that my ideal conception of guacamole really qualifies as guacamole, since it’s not much of a mole at all. It’s just mashed avacado.
My wife and I have long shared a private joke about “guacamole.” The poolside cafe at the hotel where we stayed on our honeymoon in Mexico had a menu that was printed in Spanish on one side, English on the other. However, one of the items on the menu made no sense in English: “chips with avocado mousse.” I thought to myself, surely they didn’t translate “guacamole” into its English literal equivalent. I flipped the menu over to see, that in fact, they had. Apparently they didn’t know that in English, it’s also “guacamole.”
Thanks! Your comment has been submitted and will appear shortly.
Amanda makes the best guacamole ever!
