I love guacamole. Yes, what is there not to love? Creamy vegetable dip with a touch of spice - woo hoo. Wicked with tortilla crisps and - incidentally - roast chicken (honestly try it).
Now my recipe for guacamole requires 3 ripe avos which I crush with a little lime, pinch of fresh coriander and finely chopped chili. Some times a little finely chopped onions and even very finely diced tomato. All mixed and serve - glorious.
However, at the minute, I'm having some real issues finding soft avocados so I was utterly delighted to see that Old El Paso had come out with Chunky Guacamole sauce. Wow, how excited was I when I saw it in the World Foods aisle at Tesco. I had plans for this sauce.
Yes, big plans. Unfortunately, these died when I tasted it. I honestly don't think I have ever tried anything quite as nasty - it just had a really vile herby taste. Far too much coriander, I think. Or perhaps it was just the preservatives or someone added Fairy Liquid. Whatever, it was just awful!
And I was so very disappointed. Why? You had the opportunity to make something so very nice and you've produced this evil sludge. Old El Paso, you've knocked my confidence in pre-prepared food - come on I know you can do better.
