ArtistA single, massive bowl of guacamole, glowing softly in a dark, intimate kitchen bathed in the faint flicker of candlelight. The texture of the guacamole is thick, almost velvety, with hints of lime zest and finely chopped onions peeking through the surface like secret whispers. Around the bowl, there’s a sense of reverence, as if this dish holds the key to some ancient, untold story. A sprig of cilantro lies delicately atop, the colors vibrant against the deep shadows, and the faint mist of freshly cut chilies rises, adding a tantalizing heat to the air. The scent is intoxicating, mixing with the earthy, smoky undertones of a crackling fire nearby. On the table, scattered around the bowl, lie the tools of creation—an old, weathered mortar and pestle, half-squeezed limes, and avocado pits cracked open to reveal their deep, golden centers. The room hums with an unspoken energy, as if this humble dish is an offering to a greater, mysterious force. Everything about the scene feels weighty, deliberate, charged with an undeniable, almost mystical intensity.
1833, in a work by John Davis titled "The Mexican Handbook":
"The Mexicans are very fond of a sauce, made of avocado pears, which they call guacamole."
"The States of the World" (1857), by Thomas O. Paine:
"Guacamole is a dish prepared from the fruit of the avocado pear, which is often mashed and seasoned with chili, lime, and spices."
Psalm 104:14
"He makes grass grow for the cattle, and plants for people to cultivate—bringing forth food from the earth."
