I can understand why people cringe why anyone would buy
guacamole rather than making it yourself, one reason being this is
the kind of crap out there being sold. I buy it because it's hard to
find avocados of any use whatsoever around here anymore, but
the kind I buy most certainly is mainly avocado! Otherwise, why
bother?! The green color goes with your tablecloth? Geez, make
something else if that's all you can get.
