Holy Guacamole!

The guacamole recipe and guacamole dip dates back to the 1500s. Since the dip was originally invented by the Aztecs the recipe hasn't changed. The original name for guacamole is  "ahuaca-mulli" which translates to avocado-mixture.

 There is a good recipe for guacamole on http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/guacamole-recipe.html

 Before the 1980s foods were much more regional, Italian food was from New York and Chicago, and Mexican food was California, New Mexico and Texas. So, there wasn't a lot of crossover. All of this changed when food chains began to grow all over America e.g Taco Bell. This is how many foods expanded including Guacamole.

 Guacamole is now eaten during certain occasions During the Super Bowl alone, 5443108 kg of avocados were made into guacamole. During Cinco de Mayo and Independence Day even more guacamole is created. 

How has Guacamole changed since the Aztecs? Eventhough Guacamole is Mexican it is enjoyed in many countries with each country adding its own style. The traditional style includes onions, hot peppers and salt. each country is different, in Japan they add rice vinegar, soy sauce, wasabi paste, shredded Daikon and green onions and in France they like it on a baguette with tarragon and shallots.
