Stuff in Guacamole: Where Do You Stand?

Ryan Liebe, Ryan Liebe - 2015
The New York Times tweeted yesterday, "Add green peas to your guacamole. Trust us." And everyone went berserk. Feelings ranged from rage and confusion to steadfast defense of the Times' suggestion. President Obama didn't buy it. Jeb Bush wouldn't add peas to his guac either. Deb Perelman, Dan Pashman, Sam Sifton, Jean-Georges and Alex Stupak weighed in on the debate, mostly in support of the controversial guacamole mix-in. Where do you stand? Is it OK to put peas in guacamole? If not peas, what is OK to add to guac?
