My wife makes hers then vacuum seals it in portions that she knows we will eat. The rest she freezes. I did not know that guacamole could be frozen. I must say that she is quite clever.

Local Mexican restaurant makes the nicest I’ve tried. We have about 10 Mexican restaurants in town, and this one comes to your table and makes it fresh right at your table for you.

That's something I wish we had around here. We have a Chinese joint on almost every corner, but no real Mexican food.

Wife: the sister-in-law in Sidney really misses proper Mexican food also. A lot of Filipino or Asian restaurants in Australia, but Latin American food is apparently scarce there.

We used to have two Chinese restaurants. One closed. And now a Korean place opened.

When one of the three Chinese restaurants closed in the local town, two sushi places were built. I must admit I do not care for sushi or sashimi.

Same. I don’t care much for sushi, or Japanese food. Even though I’m willing to eat it occasionally.

I have eaten it but only when I was ravenous and that was all that was available.

I'll east it every once and again. I few local stores have it made fresh daily and that is the only way to consume it. only a small fraction they sell is actually raw fish. I cannot eat it plain and therefore add the provided ginger and wasabi to each piece.

I am definitely in the fried seafood camp. I know that may shock some who are believers in steamed everything but I simply do not find the appeal in it.
