Ocasionalmente me encuentro con calabacitas redondas o chiles poblanos y mi corazón se llena de una alegría no entendida por muchos. En mi última visita encontré un nuevo tesoro: "guacamole kit".
El guacamole kit contiene:
Un shallot (éste ingrediente parece ajo pero es un tipo de cebolla)
Tres dientes de ajo
Dos aguacates
Un jitomate
Un chile jalapeño (el mio no traía uno)
Un limón
Obiamente, claras instrucciones incluidas de como preparar dos tazas de guacamole.
Aun estoy debatiendo entre preparar guacamole como aprendi en México, sin incluir jitomate, tanto ajo ni limón ó ser muy valiente y preparalo como indican las intruciones... En fin, creo que la idea de encontar un "kit" para preparar guacamole es muy divertido si eres mexicano.
In this search for feeling at home in this country, I have visited many "mexican" restaurants. Nonetheless the disillusions have been many, and I won't mention the indigestions. After losing all hope, I took my search to virgin territory: the supermarkets. Occasionally I find round zucchini or chiles poblanos and my heart fills with a happiness not understood by many. In my last visit, I found a new treasure called the "Guacamole Kit".
The guacamole kit contains:
One shallot (this ingredient looks like garlic but it's a type of onion)
Three garlic cloves
Two avocados
One tomato
One jalapeno chile
One lime
Obviously, clear instructions regarding how to prepare two cups of guacamole are included.
I am still debating between preparing guacamole as I learned in Mexico, without including tomatos, limes and too much garlic, or being very brave and preparing it according to the instructions...Anyway, I think that the idea of finding a "kit" to prepare guacamole is very funny if you are from Mexico.

Haha! I've seen that kit and thought it didn't sound right. When I was living in the States, I searched for anything Middle Eastern or Turkish. I was baffled by the falafel mixes and all the strangely flavoured hummuses— sun dried tomatoes in hummus?! The worst thing I found was a tabouli mix. Tabbouli is a fresh salad— how could they sell a boxed mix? :D
¡Me encanta el kit! jajajaja, deberían vender uno para sopa de tortilla, caldo tlalpeño o para pozole. O mejor aún, uno para preparar mole negro. Jajajaa, buenísimo...
Talking about hummus, not to long ago I found hummus with cilantro and jalapenos, jajajaja
What a mix...
Existe cada curuisidad culinaria por aqui, que no dudo que algun dia me encuentre con un kit para preparar mole negro...Aun que no estoy segura si me atreveria a comprarlo.
Si lo encuentro te aviso, Cuquita.
Saludos
