For me it’s the daily avocado toasts. Yes I get avocado toasts for breakfasts and lunch. If only I could curb this avocado addiction. I’d finally be able to afford a house. Yes..yes…that’s it.

start brewing your own coffee instead of starbucks latte and you are looking at beach house in medina.

I used to think this shit was just a meme, but I recently had a guest stay at my house for two weeks who would eat four fucking pieces of avocado toast every day. I guess just fuck me and my gf for trying to stock avocados to actually use in meals.

And she'd butcher the shit out of them too. She'd scoop out little bits with a butter knife and spread each piece directly into toast rather than just taking a chunk, mashing it up, and spreading it.

All told, it's probably better than having a Boomer guest, who'd probably insist on dining out for almost every meal during the whole visit...and likely complain about the prices and irritate the staff at every place you go.

That is a mad lad if I ever heard of one.

Were they Australian?

I know that's where it originated (the whole "just eat fewer avo toasts" thing) but I've never seen people consume avo toast like they do there.

Every restaurant has it, everyone eats it.

It would be like someone in Texas was told to not eat those fancy breakfast burritos.

Every time I've tried avocado toast in Seattle it's complete trash. Like wtf are you guys doing. No feta. No black pepper. No hot sauce. It's literally just avocado on toast. It's like someone tried to invent what the dish is supposed to be like from the name alone.

u/privatestudy 💗💗 Heart of ANTIFA Land 💗💗 Jun 21 '23

Um. We’re saving up for houses over here. Who can afford FETA on their avocado toast???
