Tonight I received some devastating news. Sainsbury’s is no longer making or selling their reduced-fat guacamole. I looked all over for it and when I couldn’t find it, I asked the guy stocking the shelves. He said, with an evil glimmer in his eye, “Discontinued!”
Wah!
I can’t eat the full-fat variety because it has cream in it, whereas the low-fat is dairy-free. How on earth will I survive without this staple of my diet? Right now, thanks to my kitchenless existence and manic teaching schedule, my dietary staples are: Water, bagels, guacamole, pretzels, pre-packaged sandwiches, Kettle Chips, bananas, over-priced fruit salad from Marks & Spencers, Cadbury’s chocolate eclair candy and vegetarian hot and sour soup from the take-away place (btw, what is in hot and sour soup? Some sort of narcotic? I crave it and must have it everyday. I think they should rename it hot and sour extra spicy Chinese crack).
But as for the guacamole, I really don’t need this kind of stress right now. Why God? Please don’t take guacamole away from me. What’s next, being pushed in front of a fast-moving train? I must admit that compared to the guacamole you can get in America it tastes like sh*t, but it was my last remaining tie to the Mexican culinary world. Sainsbury’s, how could you do this to me? Rot in hell! All of you!

Hey, I should make my own line of tee-shirts with silly sayings and inflammatory feminist messages. What a great idea!

August 12th, 2007 at 10:08 pmExcellent point, Jen! I usually mash up avocado with a little lemon juice , salt and pepper, and small diced tomatoes to make my guacamole, but I think mine is probably very American. I don’t know why anyone would put cream in it… ew!

Yeah, it never occurred to me to put cream or any kind of dairy product in guac. That’s just sick.
