It all started with a question about food labeling at the Iowa Agriculture Summit earlier this year and Jeb Bush's not-so-humble brag:
"When I go to Publix in Coral Gables after church to go prepare for Sunday Funday in my house ... I'll probably make a really good guacamole and I want to know where that avocado is from and I want to know where the onions are from and the cilantro and all the secret stuff I put in it."
Then, Bush sold molcajetes (aka mortar and pestle) - stone devices used to crush or grind food - in his campaign shop. They're listed as "Guaca Bowles" and cost $75 (that's even more than the Sur La Table molcajete shaped like a pig). Twitter had a field day with it. So did Stephen Colbert.

Cilantro was contaminated recently.
Yes, Jeb! telling me that he cares where his guacamole ingredients come from is reason enough - enough! - for me to cast my ballot for him.
He really doesn’t have a clue about how to run a campaign - not to mention that, no matter how nice a guy he is, he is NOT presidential material. I can’t stomach how he stands there with his head perpetually tilted to one side like he’s really, really compassionate about what you’re saying.
He may be a good manager - he wasn’t a bad governor - but he doesn’t have the intestinal fortitude to stand up to anyone.
JEB! and his clepto Mexican wife are such a joke. I wonder what Barbara Bush thinks of Columba. Bar prolly thinks she might be a good maid.
It’s not guacamole without lime juice and the lime juice keeps it from turning brown.
Sunday Funday??!!
Grrooooaaannnn....
Sorry, but his recipe is lame. Needs some heat. (Jalapenos don’t cut it for me anymore.)

Molcajete de Piedra Negra / Black Stone Mortar & Pestle Molcajete
by La Mexicana
Price: $44.95 + $13.95 shipping
THIS IS ALL YOU’LL NEED:
2 ripe Hass avocados (In the restaurant, we use 48 per batch, multiple times per day)
2 tsp lime juice
2 tbsp cilantro (chopped)
1/4 cup red onion (finely chopped)
1/2 jalapeño, including seeds (finely chopped)
1/4 tsp kosher salt
HOW TO DO IT:
1. Choose the right avocado. It should feel squishy yet firm (like the palm of your hand), and be a nice dark green color on the inside.
2. Cut the avocado in half and the remove the pit (carefully!)
3. Scoop the avocados and place in a medium bowl.
4. Toss and coat with lime juice.
5. Add the salt and using a fork or potato masher, mash until a smooth consistency is achieved.
6. Fold in the remaining ingredients and mix well.
7. Taste the guacamole (over and over) and adjust seasoning if necessary.
It really brings a lift to my day! I think it's the funniest damn thing I've ever seen in politics.
