Guacamole?

You know the saying "if it looks too good to be true, it probably is". Well, do you ever wonder how some restaurants can charge you only $1.5 for a big bowl of guacamole? Avocados are expensive! A friend of mine solved the mystery for me a few days ago. Yes, restaurants can get the avocados cheaper, but not THAT much cheaper. The trick these restaurants use is (shhh) mashed potatoes! Yes, plain mashed potatoes, with a little green food coloring and some seasoning. Then they'd put a few cubes of avocados on top just for show. So next time you think you are getting a great deal, think again. I wouldn't eat anything from a restaurant like that. Who knows what other tricks they are using!
