5 interesting facts about the food i made for our classes FOOD FIESTA which was... "Guacamole"!:)
1.Guacamole is the football party super-food. And of the 1 billion pounds of avacados sold in the U.S in aprroximatley 2007 49.5 million pounds were actually consumed on Super Bowl sunday! How cool is that?!
2.An avacado which is obviously the main ingredient in guacamole, is actually a fruit not a vegetable!
3. Also the company called "Wholly Guacamole" makes the actual equivalent to over 1,500,000 ice cream scoops per day! Wow thats a lot of guacamole!
4.Also i have found out that football fans all across the country will eat more then 80 million pounds of avacados, or just about enough to bury the University of Phoenix Stadium field actually under 31 feet of the wrinkly skinned fruit end zone to end zone.(I found facts 1-4 exactly from this website "www.thepartygoddess.com".)
5.Also guacamole varies in its specific ingredients rather then just the base ingredients in guacamole, depending on the region of Mexico where the guacamole is specifidley made! (This specific fact was found at "www.gourmetsleuth.com")
I hope you enjoyed learning about guacamole!:)))) by Marie Zaccagnino Period:3 (class ARGENTINA) 2/9/10.
