1.23.25: Is Guacamole a Dip?

Is guacamole a food or a dip? I’d argue it’s undeniably a dip. Sure, it’s made of ingredients like avocado, lime, and spices, but let’s be honest—who’s eating guacamole straight with a spoon? You don’t just sit down with a bowl of guac like it’s soup. It’s not self-sufficient; it needs a vehicle, like a tortilla chip, to deliver its creamy goodness. Without something to dip into it, guacamole loses its purpose. Pasta, on the other hand, stands alone as a food. Guacamole? It’s a sidekick, not the star. So, let’s settle it—guacamole is, and always will be, a dip.
