At 1:51 pm ET on Wednesday, July 1st, The New York Times suggested to Twitter that they add green peas to their guacamole. The paper of record told us to trust them.

Add green peas to your guacamole. Trust us. http://t.co/7imMY9c2ph pic.twitter.com/oeOMt2qgmh

The recipe, by Melissa Clark, is about 90% your basic guac recipe – complete with cilantro, avocado, lime (juice and zest, of course), and jalapeno (debatable). But it also involves pureed peas, as well as a whole pea garnish.

Let’s be clear – this isn’t a food crime. Ok, it might be a food crime, but without making this myself I’m pretty sure this would taste fine. The peas would add sweetness, but it would probably taste like most guacamole you’ve had in your lifetime.

Anyway, Twitter lost its collective shit.

The woman responsible has spoken:

hey people, the peas in guacamole recipe is by @ABCCocina – I didn’t create it. And it’s delicious! @nytfood

— melissa clark (@MelissaClark) July 1, 2015

The funny thing: I wrote about @ABCCocina’s #peaguacamole 2 years ago & no one peeped. Now, outrage. #dontknockittillyoutryit @nytfood

I’d say this is the next “The Dress”, but it looks to be pretty one-sided.
