A creamy, fat rich, savory fruit paste traditionally served with Hispanic food. It serves to accent the seasoning of spicy dishes by balancing the heat to allow more of the complex flavors through. It's also popularly consumed on its own as a dip. While some of these things can be accomplished by sour cream or humus, both have their own distinctive qualities that prevent them from being a 1:1 comparison.

"That savory fruit in your description? Nothing more than a direct stand in for the very avocado I told you couldn't be used to form your description. You don't get to genie your way out of your obvious inability to describe your precious ideology without making an appeal to an avocado by any other name."

Truely I was a fool to challenge a redditor when pedantism is on the line.

I don't want to explain guac without avocados

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Ok, now do it without mentioning food, food preparation, or eating.

[–] Postmortal_Pop@lemmy.world 5 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

The correct rebuttal to this is to drown them in guac.

Do you want to take this inside, guac boy?

[–] ZoteTheMighty@lemmy.zip 1 points 42 minutes ago

I'd go anywhere with someone who identifies as guac boy.

Ideally yes, it's cold in these parts and I'm not fond of pants.

Please stop I'm gonna salivate to death

It's not a culinary fruit, it's a culinary vegetable. There's a botanical classification system, and a different culinary classification system. When describing food it is incorrect to use the botanical classifier.

Other than that, good description

Anyone downvoting this wanna say why? Because I'm correct.
