How low on avocado do you need to be to not be allowed to say that it's guac? 3.5% will certainly do it.
Homeopathic guac.
Homeopathamole
Seems more like sociopathic guac.
This got me curious so I looked up the nutrition page on Tesco's website... The two main ingredients are water and tomatoes lol
INGREDIENTS: Water, Tomato, Rapeseed Oil, Onion, Modified Maize Starch, Avocado (3.5%), Soured Cream (Milk) (3%), Lime Juice from Concentrate, Lemon Juice from Concentrate, Whey Powder (Milk), Sugar, Garlic Purée, Jalapeño Chilli (1%), Coriander Leaf, Dried Egg Yolk, Acidity Regulator (Citric Acid), Salt, Colours (Lutein, Copper Complexes of Chlorophyllins), Stabilisers (Xanthan Gum), Dried Red Pepper, Glucose Syrup, Preservative (Potassium Sorbate), Antioxidant (Ascorbic Acid).
Just like mother used to make.
Gather around children and enjoy some of mamas Tesco Guacamole inspired topping
at least they're up front about their bullshit. unlike "american cheese" that has "pasteurized processed cheese product" in fine print. or "ice cream" with "frozen dairy product" in fine print. when i worked at starbucks we had to call it a "chocolatey chip" frappuccino instead of "chocolate chip," because the ingredients didn't fit the legal definition of chocolate
i'm also impressed they called it "rapeseed oil" instead of canola oil. though maybe there are new rules about that
edit: ok, "canola oil" is a stupid americas thing--i withdraw my impressedness
Honestly not sure why people get so upset about American cheese. It's just cheese with an emulsifier in it that softens it. Best burger cheese by far.
Best burger cheese by far.
It’s less the emulsifier softens it, more it allows water to the added. Cheese is largely fat/oil which doesn’t mix easily with water.
The emulsifier allows you to melt and cast left over cheese, and add water to increase it’s volume. Its original invention was to make use of scrap cuts of cheese.
Best burger cheese by far.
How can you possibly say such nonsense when swiss and muenster both exist
Then you need to try a few different brands of American cheese to find out that the most affordable options often use so much vegetable oil that it basically tastes like oil with some whey powder in it.
Yes there are good quality American cheese offerings, Land o Lakes and Boars Head both have an actual cultured American cheese.
But nearly all of the non-premium brands are frankly unpleasant.
You clearly haven't had a burger with a good quality bun & patty grilled to medium rare with layers of cheddar, Colby, pepper jack and Swiss melted on top
Hasn't it always been called rapeseed in the UK?
As I understand it, canola oil as a term is used predominantly only in the US and Canada, with canola itself being a portmanteau of Can -adian and Oil
CANadian Oil, Low Acidity
Edit: apparently that's a myth? It's ola as in oil
Here in the USA something that says "guacamole inspired" would for sure have zero percent avocado lol
Canola is a North American thing. AFAIK the British are familiar with the term "rapeseed" and don't need the rebranding.
canola is a specific cultivar of rapeseed, regular rapeseed contains more erucic acid. there is no good reason for this because erucic acid has no proven health impacts on humans but they did it anyway
Actually Canola is a stupid Canadian thing thought up so they could sell it to stupid Americans.
In Swiss, Milk alternatives like oat milk, aren't allowed to contain "milk" in the name, because they're not milk.
Honestly, I think thats just nonsense.
Everyone is very much aware that Oat Milk and Soy Milk and all the other non-dairy milks don't have any cow juice in them
Just the name itself makes it clear.
It's as equally stupid, in my opinion, as the argument that we shouldn't call a vegetarian or vegan burger a "burger" because people might think it has meat when it doesn't.
It's all a play by the dairy and meat industries to make vegan alternatives sound unappetising, and it's very transparent.
"american cheese” that has “pasteurized processed cheese product” in fine print. or “ice cream” with “frozen dairy product” in fine print
Maybe this is just because I live in Wisconsin where the dairy and alcohol lobbies are both extremely strong, but most not-icecream is labeled as a "frozen desert" and those terrible plastic Impersonations of cheese also aren't labeled as cheese at all.
Granted the graphic design does a ton of the heavy lifting. On the "frozen desert" it shows a scoop of ice cream in decidedly ice cream like packaging and says the flavor really huge, then in much smaller print below that "frozen desert" and I think Kraft Singles just shows a picture of cheese and the branding without actually specifying what the product is
Lets play spot the hidden corn syrup.
Modified Maize Starch
There it is!
That actually doesnt sound too bad. Though I'm surprised with the artificial colors that this is what went with.
Except it has sour cream another dairy products in it. Those don't belong in guacamole under any circumstance. Even tomato is iffy and shouldn't really be in there.
Finally, millenials' financial troubles are over!
"I can't believe we're legally not allowed to call it guacamole"
I mean I drink oatmilk, and I think it'd be perfectly reasonable to say "milk-inspired drink," but yeah... looking at the ingredients I'd stick to guac or plain avocados, unless cash is real tight.
Be inspired.
Topping
🤮
Which are you not into? "Creamy" or "zesty"?
"Inspired"
I saw "tortilla chips with avocado", it had %0.04 dried avocado powder in it. So lower than that?
The worst part of this is the lack of hyphen
"Yeah I dunno, Jake...I was just this very moment enjoying this bomb-ass salsa when it hit me...this epiphany just washed over me...I think I want to be a power bottom."
pauses putting guac covered tortilla chip in mouth "...o...ohmigawd...you're not gonna believe this, Mike..."
Imitation tree fruit emulsion
Is this like the whole wasabi thing where cheapskates use horseradish instead?
Almost everyone outside of Japan uses horseradish, not just cheapskates. There isn't very much real wasabi.
How inspiring is guacamole?
It inspires me everyday.
If guacamole didn’t exist, I wouldn’t want to get out of bed

/shrug. Albeit with low expectations, I'd try it.
Not sure even British. Saw Tesco on an aboringdystopia post.
Yes.
