Guacamole has been around for a while: the Aztec people were making it in the 1500s. In fact, the name itself comes from the Aztek dialect of Nahuatl, in which the words 'āhuacatl molli' mean 'avocado sauce'. The avocado itself has been a staple of human diets since around 10,000 BC, and has come to been known by many names. In Nahuatl it was also sometimes called 'testicle' on account of its shape (possibly why the Aztecs also considered it an aphrodisiac). In Chinese the name is even more creative: 鳄梨 meaning 'crocodile pear'.
