The Guacamole I grew up eating — memory as a review

I grew up eating Guacamole and have strong opinions shaped by memory. The version here triggered that recognition in the first bite — the smoky and earthy was right, dried ancho chilli was handled the way it should be.

pre-Columbian ingredients like corn, beans, and chilli form the foundation. Growing up it was always a family mercado lunch, which shaped my reference point entirely. Mexican lager with lime alongside it is the only way it makes sense to me. It's hard to be objective about food you have emotional history with, but objectively: this is very good.
