Guacamole is a great side to put on chips, tacos, burritos, maybe a bit in a torta, but the thought of it on poached eggs makes me wretch. Nor should it come near an english muffin, that's two perfectly good foods ruined! Besides, the pic shows what looks to be some sort of avocado sauce, not guacamole, as that contains chunks of tomatoes, chile serrano, and cilantro, neither of which appear to be present, and the creaminess of the sauce makes me think it's based on the Fuerte avocados you get over there, those are a waste of time. When I get over there to taste their other samplings, I'll bring along a petition for a name change! Simon que Yes! EL CHAVO!
