If there’s one thing I love about get-togethers, it’s all the yummy appetizers I don’t normally take the time to make at home. One of my favorites is guacamole.
Now let me make this clear, I’m referring to the real stuff here, not the pre-packaged, store bought “guacamole,” which I regrettably bought several months ago. I put it in quotes because, unbeknownst to me, it wasn’t actually guacamole. In fact, I don’t think it even contained avocados in any form.
After pulling back the lid and seeing the weird, goo-like
consistency glaring back at me (it was almost frightening…almost), I realized the
container actually read “guacamole flavored
dip,” which could mean any number of things in the tricky marketing world. Even
worse than the consistency were the ingredients listed on the back, half of
which I could not pronounce, and all of which were not very tasty.
So long story short, I decided to find a recipe and make my
own, and I’ve never looked back…I’m afraid to; that goo was the stuff of
food-lovers’ nightmares!
