Mexicans are dismayed by continued increases in the price for avocados, a staple of the country’s cuisine.

“This really does hurt,” the Mexico City food and entertainment magazine Chilango said in a story this week about the “fake guacamole” recipes circulating on social media.
In truth, similar recipes have been circulating for years — a blended emulsion of tomatillo, zucchini, oil and chile — but they have gained greater visibility with the rise of avocado prices.
