Guacamole Dip

[Captain Murphy]

In my whole life, I've bought guacamole dip maybe three times. Probably only two times. Maybe never, but I feel sure I purchased it at least once.

So this morning on the radio a spokesperson for the avocado industry says that during the Super Bowl, Americans will consume the equivalent of one football field of guacamole dip that would rise to your waist if you waded into it. On the way home I stop at the grocery store and purchase guacamole dip.

Let me just say that I like guacamole. But this is store-bought guacamole dip - it's like the difference between grape drink and grape juice. Plus, the image the avocado industry spokesperson conjured up was hardly appetizing. Yet there is a container of guacamole dip in my refrigerator.

What does it all mean?

it means you are a slave to corporate America.

Just a victim of the in-house drive-by
They say jump, you say how high

 

[Art Vandelay]

It means you're too lazy to make your own guacamole

Seriously, though, homemade guac is so easy to make and so much better than the pre-made stuff.

I don't want to get into a debate about recipes, but all you really need are a few avocados, some pico (or diced tomatoes & onions), salt & pepper and a little lime juice. Muy deliciouso!

and don't forget the sour cream

 

[Captain Murphy]

You're right. I am lazy. Usually when I eat guacomole, it is because I'm eating in a restaurant. Thanks for the recipe.

Well, while we're somewhat on the subject, which is correct?
Do you say wok-a-moley or gwok-a-moley? (I'm already laughing at my phonetic spelling)
I hear it both ways and now it's starting to get on my nerves.

 

[Math Mudrat]

I always said gwok.

That **** in the store was always in ****** up colors too. Like bright fluorescent green. I've never seen an avocado that color.

 

[utexas_61]

add mayo

 

[beencounting]

it's also pretty expensive for such a small quantity.

 

[idigTexas]

wok for authenticity, gwok if you prefer the gringo pronunciation.

Add a little cumin into the above recipe - it makes a world of difference.

 

[TXHookem]

Funny thing is that you bought guacamole dip and actually think it has a significant amount of avocado in it.

gauc is a staple of my diet.

I don't mind the guac mixes at HEB so much. They give you the pico and the avacado. Just mix it up real well. It isn't gourmet or anything, but it is still good...

 

[UTEE]

Should guac have beans, or no beans?

no dairy or eggs in whackamole. garlic is a must.

 

[Gadfly]

In Ohio, they put guacamole on noodles.

I recently discovered the delight that cumin adds to your traditional guac recipe.

 

[PiGuy]

Freshly made guac is delicious

Does anyone have the recipe for the real Ninfa's green sauce? Nothing I've found on the internet quite matches the goodness you get at the restaurant.
