National Guacamole Day

tinamarie1974 thought this was worth mentioning said Mon, Sep 16th 2019 at 9:08am ET

Since there was some upset about missing National Chocolate Day on 9/13, I thought I would let everyone know today is National Guacamole Day.

What is better than having a nice cold cerveza on a hot evening with some chips and guacamole?!??!

Too bad it didn’t fall on Taco Tuesday!

- @JnKL @mediocrebot @tinamarie1974 that’s a good question. The only gender-related referrals I’ve seen were to a “he” so I figured it was an understood assumption, but I don’t want to be insensitive. Perhaps we should ask.

Many moons ago on a business trip, I went to an open air Mexican restaurant in Southern California with my boss at that time. He mentioned loudly enough for the whole restaurant to hear, that his fantasy was to be dropped in swimming pool of guacamole so he’d have to eat his way out. We ended up ordering this huge thing of guac and chips (I swear the restaurant staff added extra because of his comment) and then he wimped out, leaving me to eat about 80% of it. I was in my early twenties and never backed down from a food challenge… I couldn’t eat guacamole for weeks afterward. I still can’t hear the word guacamole without thinking of that evening.

For me good guacamole is just avocado, garlic (preferably fresh roasted, but powder will do in a pinch), lime juice, cilantro and salt. I don’t understand the need to add tomato. I know it’s acidity, but it just seems to make it watery and I prefer to taste the lime and cilantro. Hubby likes to add onion and a little jalapeño as well.

- @mtb002 ditto but add just a few splashes of hot sauce(for this application preferably Tapatio or Cholula)

- @mtb002 and if anyone chooses to put onion in it then they probably wear Sketchers shoes and just like all of the oxygen wasting Sketchers wearers…they can leave this planet…immediately, if not sooner

- @sicc574 Hey more good chocolate for me then . Last year (at least I think it was last year) most of the crop out of Africa was left to rot on the docks due to labor disputes.
