Award Winning Guacamole First Place 2010 and 2011. 2nd place 2012 (yep got beat by a lady who made some damn good stuff)
Avocado Festival Fallbrook CA.
(Grandma’s Recipe from Colima, MX.)
QBN I owe you guys a lot and don’t mind sharing.
Here is the recipe please respect the sourceIngredients:
8 Haas Avocados
½ Medium White Onion (Diced)
1/3 Bunch of Cilantro
3 Serrano Peppers (diced and seeded)
1 Roma Tomato (diced and seeded)
1-2 Key Limes (or common Persian Lime if you cannot find Key Lime)
Medium grain Sea Salt or Kosher SaltTake all avocados and place them in bowl only smashing slightly with a fork. (keep two pits in the bowl.)
Take half bunch of nice green and fresh cilantro and cut the bottom inch of the stems, just the part that might look dead or yellow. Do not cut all stems or pluck leaves since most of flavor is in the stems, they are needed. Place sprigs in a bowl of water fully submerged for about 5 minutes to get all dirt out. (Pat dry with paper towel thoroughly before using)Take the Roma tomato and cut it in to quarters. Now slice the seeds and liquid inside as to leave only meaty peel behind. Discard all liquid part of tomato as it will water down your guac! It will ruin flavor and consistency; this is a common mistake. Doing this will set your guac apart from most. The goal is only to add some color in the guac with the tomato. If you want “salsa” make salsa.
Now take onion cut it in half and put away one half. Too much onion will ruin the taste of the avocado!! Dice the half you are using evenly in to half inch squares. Do not allow random size pieces in the mix and make sure all peel or green parts are discarded. Take all of this and toss it in the bowl.
Take the three good size Serrano peppers and cut stems off. Depending on how sensitive to spice the crowd is you should seed one or two of the peppers. I usually only seed one pepper. IMO Guac should have a little ‘kick’, after all it is from Mexico. Take the peppers and slice them long ways until you are left with 12 strips. Now take your knife and remove all seeds and veins from 4 strips, or one pepper. This is where the heat lies. Now take those strips and slice them long way one more time to make more strips. Bunch them all up in your hand together keeping them straight and even and dice them up as small as you can. You should have all skin, veins and seeds except for the ones you decided to discard. Now throw all this in to your bowl. -- IMPORTANT-- Be careful not to touch your face or any other sensitive part of your body during this process!! If you are really scared you can wear a pair of latex gloves.
Now stir the cilantro in the bowl of cold water to make sure all dirt is gone. Take it out and dry it thoroughly with a paper towel. Take all the cilantro you are using and bunch it up in to your hand in to a little ball. Now dice the ball with your knife thoroughly. Just make sure you are not leaving any long stems and throw all this in your mix.
Now the trick is to simply “fold” the ingredients in the bowl do not stir them wildly as to create a soup! Take the limes and cut them in half make sure they are not yellowish or pale on the inside this will also make the guac taste bad. Squeeze the limes in to the mix making sure no seeds go in to it. Then use the Sea Salt or gourmet kosher granulated salt (not table salt) to flavor.
Use chips to taste. If you are going to be storing it for a bit place saran wrap over guac and bowl as to not leave air (air causes oxidation which makes your guac brown) and place in fridge you should use within the hour or two..

I've been vegan since the start of the year, and at first it was quite exciting to try different new recipes, vegan versions of staples and new items, different ways of cooking.
Then I got fucking bored of it.
And tired and spending so much time and money trying to find decent ingredients, none of them are cheap here in the midwest.
Then I became piss-poor, work dried up and my wife lost her full time job, and her student pell grant and our lodger moved out. We lost our health insurance, so I can't get my regular medication which has caused me to become depressed and put on weight, and not able to conentrate on my work. We had no money for food and lately have had to go around the food banks and take whatever we could get, most of which was not vegan. Managed to keep the cable on, and the other utilities, but with one client after another bailing I'm just done, too far down the hole. I'm still vegetarian, but the days of spending $30 on ingredients for one meal are over. I tried, but it was just not possible to be full and get everything I needed from the dried beans and freezer burned cookie dough that I was left with a few weeks ago.- Holy fuck, man.
xdetritus - That's what I tell militant vegans all the time. They don't see any problem in pushing a diet that would not be possible in 80 percent of the world.HijoDMaite
- percent of the world.HijoDMaite
- sucks though man I hope your situation improves very soon.HijoDMaite

- #FirstWorldProblems, eh ?mikotondria3
- nah those are real probs, you deserve a leg up. i'm sure things will start going ur way soon enough...prophetone
- Yes they will. It's just a light misfortune, there's plenty worse off than me, I'll more than likely be back to normal very soon.mikotondria3
- fuckin 'ell, sorry to hear that Mikomoldero
- ah thx, bud. It's cool, just a series of bad luck one of top of another, we've got a way out, I'll be good. Thanks again. :)mikotondria3
- Holy fuck, man.

Yep, what srhadden wrote on the first page is really, really true but I happened on it by accident.
I was diagnosed with something called Ankylosing Spondylitis and the only way I can eliminate the pain is not to eat anything with starch in it.
Pretty much no carbs (potatoes, pasta, rice, cereals) then, ever. It's like a hunter/gatherer diet. But I've never felt healthier in my life.

All food fads and the latest perfect fiets tend to arise in countries with no real food tradition and where mass-produced shit and fast food have taken hold. See America, the UK and Australia as good starting points.
See France, Spain, Italy, Thailand, Vietnam, Turkey, Greece etc etc etc etc for the opposite... where no-one is selling fish cock pills as a cure for too many Maccas and they've generally been eating the same ways for ages.
- I think this thread is about health. you can have good food and be healthy. Even in france food culture changesyurimon
- IT was custom to serve cow head to your guests because the meat on the head was soft and tender, when was the last time that happened?yurimon
- time you seen that happened? cow head served on plate?yurimon
- Furry muff. But there is still a connection...MrT
- And at least I had a point.MrT

Looking for advice on with going on a Gluten/Dairy AND Egg free diet. We're doing this for our 7yr old son who has HIGH sensitivity each. He's also high functioning autistic, ADHD, Tourettes, anxiety. We just recently learned about his food sensitivities and also its causing leaky gut.
We're doing this for 3-6 month and then reintroducing food items to see which ones are causing the most issues for him. We're starting this diet after the new year... and all the options look horrifying to the taste buds.
Anyone else gone Gluten/Dairy and Egg free?
- I'm you're changing your diet embrace that change. Don't try recipes that offer an alternative to common dishes you will certainly be dissapointed.soundofreason
- For example, in your case give up cake completely. Try fruit salads.soundofreason
- BioNature makes really good Pasta.keewee
- @slinky congrats on doing this! been there w/ my daughter. Results are incredible. Be excited about eating healthy and the way nature intended in the 1st place!Krassy
- Krassy, your daughter have anything like autism, adhd?slinky
- I am on the spectrum and was terribly sick. I have had to cut out sooo much of my diet and in the end, ended up vegan.mugwart
- This helped me out so so much. Hard to comment on small message boxes.
#1 enjoy the change - expore - go to food marketsmugwart - #2 cut out all these foods but make sure you enjoy to search for new ones (ie dont complain your missing your cheese burger - go off and find a replacement)mugwart
- #3 go slow - cutting out but you will make mistakes - not all things that state they are gluten free are. Its all in the yeildmugwart
- #4 the more you detox - the more sensitive you get. So expect that. Buy active charcole. If you get 'hit' take some tablets and down the water as it consipatesmugwart
- and takes out all nutrients as well. Last resortsmugwart
- #5 dont have an end goal. I didnt mean to end up vegan, it sort of just happened. I have no moral high ground on this and only state this to illustratemugwart
- #6 avoid all supermarkets and only source from people/farmers whom give a shit.mugwart
- #7 cry at your bank balance. This is the best thing you can do for your kid (and self) but you can not really cut corners and it is not cheap.mugwart
- to make sure that your kid does not think they are eating boring:

great source of insperationmugwart - my mate borrowed it and his two little girls would flick through laughing. he was worried about the swearing but they ended up eating good food and enjoying it.mugwart
- drop me a line if you need anymore help: summon[at]matleach[d...mugwart
- also dont rush into things. ie go straight to raw food diet. Your body takes time to change and also it might not be for you.mugwart
- one other things - yes to sounds first comment. Find and explore new things. example - dairy free cheese a day after eating normal cheese and your'll regret it.mugwart
- discovering happy cheeze (berlin company!) X amount of time after and your really happy!
that said a mate tried that company and prefers to normal cheesemugwart - shit sorry for so many - this is sort of my passion - proper plant based vits. Make sure B12 and D is there. Vit C is your best friend as is b12 yeast flakesmugwart
- sorry again - Raw Cacao powered, mix with nut milk/hot water and date syrup. Amazing drink and excellentfor the brain/ADHD etcmugwart
