Food gatekeeping is the most stupid of gatekeeping. Go back to roasting whatever animal you can kill over a fire with a stick and eating raw plants from the ground.

Okay, Antoni...

I'm very torn on this. Most of the time I agree that food gatekeeping is stupid (especially when it comes to dishes that are essentially 'put what you have in a pot and cook until it's edible'), but at the same time, there are changes you can make to a dish that make it no longer that dish. If it doesn't contain egg whites and sugar, it's not a meringue. If you put gelatin in your chocolate mousse, I dislike you as a person. I once ordered patatas bravas and they arrived with no sauce.
Personally I just hate guacamole, I can't eat avocados in any form, but I'm willing to respect OP's opinion.

This. There are points at which adding or removing an ingredient to a dish makes it into something else.

If you're putting Greek yogurt or sour cream or anything of that sort into guacamole, it just isn't guacamole anymore. It's avocado dip.

Perfectly put. Food is essentially a science. Adding or removing key components to a dish will change its balance and structure, effectively turning it into something else entirely.
There are literal food scientists, because food is science, it's chemistry.
OP is not arguing that you CANNOT put greek yoghurt into Guacamole, but that it can no longer be called guacamole because by adding such an ingredient it becomes avacado dip instead. It's a definition thing, not the type of food gatekeeping you're thinking of.

For instance Italy has about 350 different pastas, and four times the amount of words for them. There is no English translation for them for the most part, English speakers use the Italian words for most of them. So in the case of the Guacamole vs. Avocado sauce debacle, it'd be like going to a fine Italian restaurant and ordering Spaghetti only to get a plate of egg noodles instead. Since y'know they're technically the same thing, only like they're very much not after fucking around with the ingredients.
