I’ve got big strong teeth that can tear through ripe avocado
No need to splurge on the “smashed” up charge…

I used to think I hated avocado because I associated it with guac which always had cilantro. When I actually had avocado alone I was massively surprised and elated.

I can vouch for this.

My wife is Thai and in Thailand they have a whole class of dishes called “yam”(ยำ)^*^ which is typically a salad (not in the leafy greens sense) typically dressed with fish sauce, lime, and chilis and commonly containing mint, onion, lemon grass, Chinese celery, along with a protein. And if you sub avocado for the protein it’s absolutely amazing.

For me, all guac really needs is salt and lime. Maaaaaybe some onion if you have it.

I feel like folks over engineer their guac. After the onion, it’s all diminishing returns.

As a cilantro fiend, all I need for something to be guac is avocado, cilantro, and lime 😅.

Different tastes for different folks, I guess.

I used to dislike guacamole until I went to Mexico and tasted guacamole with more lime juice than I’d previously had.

Even though coffee and avocados come from Latin America, the salt and pepper makes it feel like it's from the United States.
