WASHINGTON (UPI) -- Guacamole lovers, including President Obama were dived on Wednesday when The New York Times suggested that readers should add peas to the traditional recipe.

In the posting, a NYT contributor wrote: "The peas add intense sweetness and a chunky texture to the dip, making it more substantial on the chip."

But she didn't win over Obama with her reasoning. During a Twitter Q&A, a user asked the president if he agrees with adding the vegetable to the avacado-based dip. POTUS responded, "respect the nyt, but not buying peas in guac. onions, garlic, hot peppers. classic."

The Times responded to the Internet's rage about the recipe and posted a link to an article on its Twitter page, writing, "A few brave souls have done the unthinkable: They've tried it."

In the piece, the food writer at The Indianapolis Star took it upon her self to whip up a batch of pea-guacamole so she could end the crazed debate.

"It just tastes like guacamole," she confirmed. It's just not that deep, Internet. Just not that deep.

Don't knock it unit you try it, Mr. President.
