    It may be pretentious but it’s flipping lush. Wholemeal bread, toasted and left to go cold. Mushed up avo spread thickly. The crunch of the toast with the mush of the avo, nom nom…

    You can enhance the meal by eating it hot, with bacon.
    Match made in heaven.

    Hot avocado is foul.

    FIFY

    Unless in the form of guacamole then it is acceptable.

    It’s the bacon and toast that is hot, you’ll be safe. 🙂

    Bung a poached egg on it with a bit of chilli and lots of black pepper.

    Mash up avocado with finely chopped chilies, garlic and a good squeeze of lime juice. Toasted wholemeal bread spread with smashed avocado with a poached egg or two on top. Ticks so many boxes as a breakfast.

    Let’s run it through the pretentiometer:

    Fruit or veg? Check
    Foreign-sounding? Check
    Ever heard a posh woman say it? Check

    Real men will now beat you with pieces of coal.

    Avocado is lard from trees. It’s horrible stuff.

    If you’re going to have lard on toast at least have beef dripping or “lardo”

    My legendary fish tacos say otherwise.
    Plenty of avocado in there, though surprisingly no bacon. 😯

    Why have I only just discovered avocado toast?

    Cos butter’s more widely available and far superior.

    Where’s the banhammer when you need it? 😉

    Bacon isn’t an option it’s a condiment.

    The tacos would be only one course of many, I can assure you.

    Toast bread.
    Spread thickly with butter.
    Grill bacon and place between slices of toasted bread.
    Throw avocado in bin.

    Enjoy!

    Good bread, sourdough ideally
    Mashed/smashed/crushed avocado
    Finely chopped chilli
    Crispy bacon
    Poached egg.

    Top class breakfast.

    Mods, can we have a sticky bacon thread? Every time a non-bacon foodstuff is mentioned all the baconites porktarians get angsty and crash the thread 😉

    On a MTB forum that should have been “smashed it – downhill segment in record time, mashed it – new derailleur / cassette / etc required”.

    Instead it’s about avocado.

    We’re getting old.

    Smashed broken up with violence but not necessarily any specific tooling, which may or maynot, leave your avocado lumpy.

    Mashed is squashed with a suitable implement, such as a fork or a masher, it is not – when done properly and thoroughly – lumpy

    So one may leave it lumpy the other might have lumps in it. Well that’s clear.

    One may have lumps in it.

    One may not, it can do mind if it’s done badly.

    So if you mash it but dont do it very well you just called it “smashed” and pretend you meant to do it?

    I’m **** livid that this has become a hipster joke.

    I “invented” it myself about 10 or 12 years ago, waaaay before it was cool.

    Yep. Then serve it on a slate, with the avocado in a pile next to the cold toast not on top and call it deconstructed. Well done you’ve won your self a hipster food award.
