The great Boris Karloff was born in England, found fame as Frankenstein's monster (and also played Frankenstein, thank you, readers, for the correction) in Hollywood, and finished his career in Mexico (awesome example at the end of this post). Somewhere along the way he developed a strong affinity for Mexican food, as the article above, found on BadassDigest, explains, along with telling its readers that guac is an "avocado-based sauce". His recipe for guacamole has an English twist, with a dash of sherry thrown in along with more common ingredients:
2 avocados
1 medium tomato, finely chopped
1 small onion, minced
1 tbsp. chopped canned green chiles
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tsp sherry
Dash cayenne (optional)
Salt, pepper
Peel and mash avocados. Add onion, tomato and chiles, then stir in lemon juice, sherry and seasonings to taste, blending well. Serve as a dip for tortilla pieces or corn chips or as a spread. Makes 10 to 12 appetizer servings.
Karloff's final films, a quartet of Mexican horror films were: The Snake People, The Incredible Invasion, The Fear Chamber, and House of Evil. All were produced by Luis Vergara. You can watch the full version of House of Evil below!
