NY Times: "Add green peas to your guacamole." Entire Internet: "Fuck you."

Also known as pipian (though it varies by region) its got a nutty taste which might actually complement the avocado nicely.

Which is just another opportunity say,

fuck peas

. :smiley:

Not sure about the lard, but the dashi and kombu are interesting. Iā€™ve always put soy sauce in my guac and it works quite well. I leave out the salt because the soy has plenty.

Sounded kind of good to me. Except for the sunflower seeds.

Most people who hate green peas remember canned green peas and those are an abomination. Peas are highly perishable, and are worthless unless either fresh or quick frozen.

ā€¦ Peas arenā€™t my thing. But theyā€™re better than eggplants, pigs, sea creatures, alcohol, sugar alcohol, mint, cheese, cilantro, nuts, vanilla, honey, high-fructose corn syrup, and whatever else.

Worcestershire sauce works too. Iā€™m not sure how I know this, but I do.

Iā€™m amazed by the amount of energy people have over thisā€¦

Marmite is delicious and you keep your disgusting peas out of it!

Iā€™ve had mushy peas that are so smooth, rich, and tasty that I would happily try adding them to guacamole. Theyā€™re like pea butter. Adding them to green veggie butter (my beloved avocados) might work.

Iā€™ve never had a mushy lea that Iā€™veā€¦ Liked. They always tend to be gloopy or whipped. Pea soup is a wholly different matter.

See, you keep talking as though the MCU has a lockdown in superhero movies, or that they should even be called good. Theyā€™re fun. But theyā€™re not the good superhero films.

Stopped clock twice a day, or a need to rethink your position?

Maybe this is more @japhroaigā€™s style:

It hasnā€™t been the Grey Lady since they switched to that horrid ink formulation that makes wearing gloves superfluous, and horror of horrors, WENT COLOR.

Now, itā€™s the painted lady.

You MOCK me sir!

You shall ROUX the day! (Break out your butter and flour)

Oh yeah, you like those off-brand, higher-quality, Rainn-Wilson-starring ones.

Do I gotta? Does it truly say anything new?

Iā€™ll watch it if you insist. (Donā€™t worry, Iā€™m not that whiny and foot-draggingly reluctant. Someone talked me into seeing Babe, that George Miller talking pig movie, and I thought they were nuts for recommending it so strongly until I actually saw it. Now I wonā€™t really resist anything. Except the MCU.)

Iā€™m still waiting for a version of B.C. Boyerā€™s Masked Man.


anyway, Iā€™ve got a couple pounds of peas in the fridge waiting to be shelled, so Iā€™m annoyed I donā€™t have avocados.

Guacamole aleady looks like vomit. Peas can only be an improvement.

Itā€™s just like Kick-Ass, only not as good.

once the skeptical revulsion passed, i think i can see the upside. peas have a mild sweetness which could work with the acidity in a lime-heavy guac, and the slightly bitter, vegetal green pea-ness might add a little breadth of flavor. i actually want to try it now.
