mayonnaise & sour cream are a crime — the Mexicans make it with chopped onion, tomato * cilantro with a squirt of fresh lime — if it doesn’t have those ingredients, then it’s not guacamole — it’s just mashed avocado. Why do Americans always want to dumb things down?

Mayo makes it creamy more useful for dipping. And there’s no need to get insulting, that dumbs down the discussion.

yes--it's more like avocado dip... plus adding the cream takes away from the chunkiness of guacamole... i loathe creamy-style guacamole...
