Mexico, I salute you!!! Now, I know that Vallarta can run through that much quac in less than 24 hours but they don't make all of that in one place. A town called Tancitaro decided to take up the challenge. 420 noble citizens got together and decided to get into the Guinness Book of Records with the worlds largest guacamole. They did it.
Lord, I just love Mexico!!! Those folks got some fire in them. Some spunk. And apparently enough time and energy on theirs hands after a 6-day, 60-hour work week to tackle making 3 tons of guacamole. Hell, I burp and I'm ready for a nap.
OK, so picture this. 110 people dicing tomatoes. 110 people dicing onions. 110 people coring avocados. 50 people cutting and squeezing lemons. And 40 people stirring this thing up. With boat oars. In what looked like the largest horse trough in the known universe. While it sat on a truck scale so they could weigh it. With all of them gowned, masked and hair netted so they could legally sell it later. One hour and 40 minutes later a new world record had been established. 420 people??? An hour and 40 minutes??? Boat oars??? (Sorry, I have a "thing" for boat oars...). 6 THOUSAND POUNDS OF GUAC??? I am SO futhermucking impressed!!!
It seems that the town of Tancitaro bills itself as the avocado "Capitol of the World". They have more than 55,000 acres of avocado plantations around them. 55,000 acres of avocados??? HOLY SHIT, THAT'S LOT OF AVOCADOS!!! 55,000 acres???
I am going to move there. OK, where's the tortilla chips???
