For folks wondering if what we call Guacamole, or even avocados (aka avocato/aligator pears) are historically correct as a food item..., well they were known to English Pirates as early as 1697, and documented as being grown in Jamaica in 1696. Records of cultivation in Florida only go back to 1830, so they were imported perhaps ??? prior to that.
Here is a pretty entertaining video with some history on making an original form of what we call Guacamole, and a rum beverage called Bumbo (grog with nutmeg).
