15 May 23 - 03:14 AM (#4172233) Subject: RE: Smashed Avocados From: Helen No but avocados served any way are super yummy, even cake, ice cream, and the usual guacamole, etc so bring on the songs, I say! My fave breakfast is avocado, bacon and tomato on toast. |

15 May 23 - 03:21 AM (#4172234) Subject: RE: Smashed Avocados From: Helen BTW, in case the reference to smashed avos relates to people who pay for it at cafes and by implication, are rich enough afford to pay other people to smash their avos for them, I make the breakfast toast sensation myself. LOL. And avos in Oz are very cheap lately due to the ups and downs of weather patterns over the last few years. |

15 May 23 - 04:32 AM (#4172240) Subject: RE: Smashed Avocados From: Hagman It should also be noted that the phrase "smashed avo," now part of the vernacular, was an Aussie invention. Now an integral menu item at every reasonably up-market breakfast venue from Hobart to Cape York, and all westerly directions. (As far as taste goes, for me, Helen, it may be "healthy," but it's definitely "boring.") |

15 May 23 - 06:27 AM (#4172245) Subject: RE: Smashed Avocados From: Steve Shaw Thinly slice two avocados and two mozzarella balls. Arrange the slices neatly in a serving dish. Halve a big handful of cherry tomatoes (quality paramount) and scatter them on top. Dribble your finest extra virgin olive oil over it all, grate some black pepper over and tear some baby basil leaves on top. You have the colours of the Italian flag and enough lovely grub for two, nowt else needed. Then (to stay on topic) write a song to eulogise about it. |

15 May 23 - 06:36 AM (#4172247) Subject: RE: Smashed Avocados From: Steve Shaw By the way, and it's an odd thing, but Italians hardly ever use avocados in their cuisine. They do have a lot of good songs though. |

15 May 23 - 02:47 PM (#4172278) Subject: RE: Songs about Smashed Avocados From: Helen A short opinion piece with a counter argument to the original smashed avocado comment which proposed that young people can't afford to buy into the housing market because they spend their money on smashed avocado and coffee: Why 'The Smashed Avocado'? For the original context here is a BBC article about Bernard Salt who made the contentious comment in 2016: How row over mashed avocado toast is dividing Australian generations (Published 18 October 2016) |

15 May 23 - 04:28 PM (#4172287) Subject: RE: Songs about Smashed Avocados From: Helen I can imagine Mic Conway of Captain Matchbox Whoopee Band fame writing a good song about smashed avos. Maybe something like, doing the avocado rag, or in the style of Tom Lehrer's Masochism Tango, which the Whoopee Band used to perform. |

15 May 23 - 06:02 PM (#4172292) Subject: RE: Songs about Smashed Avocados From: Steve Shaw Whilst enjoying the levity in this esteemed thread, and not at all wishing to sound like the party pooper (and speaking as a passionate avocado eater), I should point out that avocados represent one of the most environmentally unfriendly crops on earth, right up there with Californian almonds and Amazon palm oil. There's almost nothing to redeem them (except that they're delicious). Perhaps any song about smashed avocados (or any other manifestation of avocados) should be a protest song... |

16 May 23 - 12:33 PM (#4172337) Subject: RE: Songs about Smashed Avocados From: Howard Kaplan Since "guacamole" is sometimes pronounced as if the first syllable were "whock", I tend to conflate guacamole with whack-a-mole. |
