Crimes against guacamole, Part 2
I promise, I make good guacamole. My family loves it. My friends love it. So, why do I keep doing terrible things to it? For science, of course!...

I promise, I make good guacamole. My family loves it. My friends love it. So, why do I keep doing terrible things to it?
For science, of course!
Miriam from United Fresh shared a recipe for Deep Fried Guac with me the other day, my son’s soccer game was cancelled, and I had a pile of avocados I dragged home from Fresh Summit, so I decided to give it a whirl for a Facebook Live event.
The social media from Delish for the recipe calls it “the most extra snack ever.”
It’s “extra” all right. Extra work. I’ve had fried avocados before. Those are decent. The burger place near my house has a fried avocado “burger” where avocado is the meat replacement (finally! a plant-based burger I can support!). I’m not completely against cooked avocado. I’d say 85% against it.
But freezing globs of perfectly good guac, rolling them in chips and eating hot? How do YOU think this is going to work out?
