      i havent had any in ages let alone avocado in general but yes avocado toast is good. idk why it gets so much shit. my statement becomes even truer if youre talking about avocado toast wiht garlic salt and at least a teaspoon of red pepper flakes on it (per slice i mean).

      i mean an avocado is what 2 or 3 dollars? ok so you use 50 cents worth of avocado on 25 cents of bread? wow holy fucking shit truly fucking crazy stuff, a 75 cent meal or snack. most of the chuds who moan about ~aVoCaDo ToAsT~ are eating 9 dollar big mac combos on the daily so idk how a toasted piece of bread with <1$ worth of a fruit on it are anything worth any amount of your time or effort to complain about.

          oh that makes it even dumber and more nonsensical since everything is overpriced at any kind of food/beverage serving establishment lmao

          there was some article a number of years back by some douchey mayo millennial who had like ten investment properties smugly blaming all his peers for spending all their money on frivolities like avocado toast instead of working hard and smartly buying houses like he did because a $20 avocado toast at a bougie cafe is definitely not a drop in the ocean of the cost of a $1 million average house price

          and youll be stunned to learn that his one weird trick for buying these houses in the first place turned out to have been rich parents giving him a bunch of money

          I don't know, but I wouldn't be that surprised if avocado's were viewed as exotic in some way and part of whats being said is "Oh you liberals with your elitist toast".

          Hojnestly though I have no idea it's culinarily indistinguishable from bagels with a schmear idk why it's such a huge thing.

      I like toast with avocado, sardines, and lemon. Avocado is just a creamy, relatively neutral flavor, put whatever shit you want on it.

      I think it's good. Avocado is fatty and transfers other flavors well. Put some honey or peppers on it, makes for a filling breakfast.

      Avacados are 5 fucking dollars right now. Five! Ahh!

      I read a post from a Latina woman bemoaning the advent of avocado toast, bc avocado on toast with a little salt used to be a cheap breakfast but popularity skyrocketed the price of avocados

          I used to be ready to burn down the store but then I got old. It might be because I live in an arid hell where nothing green was ever meant to come.

      My go to recipe is avocado, cherry tomatoes, sesame oil, and salt and pepper.

      I'm not even a vegan, I just don't think adding any animal product would improve the taste.

      I like just making a paste out of the avocado and seasoning it like guac, with lime, pepper, salt, chili and cumin. Really yummy :)

      Hearty bread, thickly sliced and toasted with some vegan butter, avocado, salt/pepper or everything bagel seasoning and tomatoes if I have any. Maybe hot sauce too.

      It's kinda mid imo, tasty but there are many better uses for an avocado. Which costs like a dollar (more like a buck fifty now) its so silly they think it's some absurd luxury.

      Microwave a quarter or half avacado for <10 seconds. Put on toast, then slice and spread evenly over the bread, kinda like spreading out a deck of cards. Slice paper thin if the avacado's a little under-ripe.

      Add yuccateca sauce and adobo seasoning.

      It's really convenient, and the avacado, hot sauce, and garlic/salty flavors work well together.
