slo’s WEDNESDAY 6/12 poll - Guacamole 🥑

[MIGrandma]

I don't like it.

I don’t like it either.

 

[mumto3girls]

I like it and I am good with smooth or chunky, spicy or low heat.

Guacamole is something that many of us can’t get enough of - we can eat it anywhere, and on/with almost anything. So, let’s talk about the green stuff today…..

What’s your opinion of guacamole?
If you like guacamole, what type(s) do you enjoy?
(m.c.)


For Me……I love love love guacamole . I love it chunky, like it classic/creamy, don’t like it spicy. I’m making taco & tostadas for dinner tonight and I’m serving guacamole with them, which is what inspired this poll today . I love having leftover guacamole, because then I put it in my turkey wrap for lunch the next day - yum! DD20 loves avocado toast, so she’ll use some leftover guacamole too. I never worry about throwing leftover guacamole away.

I hate guacamole. I'm ready for the tomatoes to be thrown at me now.

I like it. If Marie makes Mexican she will often make it and I will have some. She likes it more than me, though I do not dislike it. If getting Mexican in restaurant, very often served and will have some.

 

[TippyThomas]

I enjoy just eating an Avocado with sea salt and lime much more though.

Avocado toast drizzled with avocado oil(or olive), sprinkled lightly with red pepper flakes. She can thank me later!

I like the Haas avocado only and not the Florida version. I like it with a little garlic, lemon juice and cut-up tomatoes. And then I add a little bit of balsamic vinegar if I am putting it on bread/toast/muffin.

 

[mjkacmom]

I love it, I add red onion, jalapeño, salt, lime, cilantro, never garlic (I use fresh garlic in a lot of food, not guacamole). I also like avocados with salt, lime, and everything but the bagel seasoning.

 

[disneychrista]

It’s okay/edible. I would never choose to buy it but have eaten a little a few times when someone else bought it or Chipotle gives it free.

 

[amcnj]

I like it, but can’t claim to love it when I see how much more other family members seem to care for it.

 

[tvguy]

I like it a little, and when I do eat it, it has to be spicy. It's funny, because I love avocados but can take or leave guacamole. I don't eat tortilla chips that much, either.

Too much spice ruins it for me, over powers the creamy rich avocado flavor.

 

[Wood Nymph]

I love guacamole! I make it frequently. I like it on the chunky side, but any texture is fine. I don't like it too hot, though.

 

[1420Elexismc]

Our Aldi has a pineapple poblano guacamole that I'm obsessed with. I will eat it in all forms, but that's my favorite one

 

[georgina]

I eat avocados, but not guacamole much. It's OK, but not something I usually buy (and never make!)

 

[Donalddidwhat…?!]

I love guacamole…!!!!!
Chunky, smooth, mild, spicy, etc….I have yet to meet a guac I didn’t like…!!!!!
Just a few examples below…!!!

 

[Donalddidwhat…?!]

I love guac! Most of the guacs you see here have some chunks to them, especially since tableside guac is another popular feature at many Tex-Mex/Mexican restaurants. I've come to distrust creamy guacs. It's one thing if it's an avocado salsa verde, but some are mass produced guac "products" that have a lot of fillers and preservatives. I'm not a huge fan of spicy guac, but I know it's popular. The most I like in mine is some extra cilantro, and maybe some diced tomato and onion.

We have so many Tex-Mex/Mexican restaurants here in the Austin area, and they all seem to make it at least a little different, but they’re all good in their own right…!!!

 

[Donalddidwhat…?!]

I enjoy just eating an Avocado with sea salt and lime much more though.

Yea, ultimately, I really like avocados and can simply cut one in half, scoop out the meat, and eat plain.
But I really like to experience the different ways guacamole is made at different restaurants, and, of course, experiment myself from time to time…!!!

There was this one place our firm used to get Tex-Mex from for office luncheons, celebrations, etc. that had a really spicy guac. I like spicy food, and it was good, but you had to go a bit easy on it, or the next thing you knew your mouth was on fire…!!!!!

How do you keep it from turning brown?

I mix in a little bit of lemon juice or lime juice (either is fine).
Then I take a large piece of plastic wrap and push it way down into the bowl, to keep as much air out as possible.
Then I take some Press and Seal, and put it over that.
It still gets a little brown, but once you give it a stir, it goes away.
We've been doing this for as long as I can remember and it works real well

We’re Houston area and it’s a similar experience. I once put on a guacamole competition for my old work team and it’s funny how something as simple as avocado can be so different between several people.
