That's gotta be Gabriel's (unless it was more than 20 years ago, then it
was likely the same location then called Los Brazos?)...
Does anyone else remember when this dish was presented in a traditional
molcajete (bowl carved from basalt) rather than the ones of the same
style now made of plastic? The trick, of course, was to line the bowl
with lettuce to limit the otherwise large number of molecules of avocado
wasted.
I believe molcajetes were originally mortars (to be paired with a
pestle-tejolete).
I also just discovered (totally unrelated) that the seed or pit of the
avocado is edible despite the high concentration of tannins... very much
like acorn nuts.
