6,800 kilos of pea-free guacamole

I hope I’m not the only one who remembers the world’s largest taco and the unprecedented efforts to save marine life. My country is at it again, this time breaking a world record by making a 6,800-kilo guacamole.

Sí, señor, that’s almost 7,000 kilos of pure green deliciousness. 

According to my very reliable sources (i.e. The Internet), it took more than 800 volunteers to mash up 25,000 avocados and mix them up with onion, coriander, tomato and NO PEAS.

Mexico Beats Its Own Taco Record; Lacks Funds to Register Such Feat

~ Mi Blog es tu Blog ~ 2 Comments

So you guys thought I was joking when I said we (the Mexicans) know how to make the world’s largest and spiciest tacos, ever!

Not only New Mexico couldn’t beat regular Mexico with their huge navajo taco the other day, but regular Mexico has done it again, beating its own world record, by cooking a 50-meter long taco filled with an “indeterminate” volume of onion, rice, cilantro, pork cracklings, beef, chicken, eggs and sausages.

Alas, such an achievement could not be registered in the Guinness Book of Records, simply because sufficient funds were not available.

“We’re in the process of registering it, but it implies an expenditure that can’t be contemplated right now of more than 400,000 pesos (some $33,000),” municipal official Agustin Torres Pérez told EFE.

So hereby this blogger is launching a campaign for the officers over there at the Guiness Book record-thing to stop the nonsense and give my people a well-deserved discount. Or, perhaps, they will let us pay them in kind, with some delicious taquitos?
