food: you get what you pay for

Mission "Guacamole" dip contains less than 2% 'guacamole powder'

Because, you see, avocados are expensive, and they don't keep for shit.

I just wonder who would buy it in the first place?

I mean I know the American consumer is conditioned for culinary helplessness, witness abominations like frozen cookie dough, hamburger helper and pre-packaged noodle dinners.

But how fucking hard is it to buy a ripe avocado or two, season it with salt, pepper and some lime juice and mash it up with a fork?

Well, assuming of course you live somewhere you can get avocados easily, like sunny Cali-forn-eye-aye.

My favorite guac of all time was made this past friday. I had about 1/2 a cup of this crazy chipotle tomatillo salsa left over from a previous meal, so I mashed up five avocados then added the salsa and some salt....deeeelicious.

Mission Guacamole Dip............feh.
