I eat avocado toast and I've never even seen that shit on a menu. I discovered it on my own. Somehow this 'phenomenon' is still news. Not everything has to be a 'thing'.


Where are you from? 'Avocado toast' is an Australian 'meme' that has its origins of long before that Tim Gurner's 60 Minutes interview[1]. 'Avocado toast' (where toast is probably sourdough) is a staple on Australian cafe menus.

Also worth understanding is that Australian cafe culture is a bit different to the US and if you don't have or understand that, then I could understand how you struggle.

Try it with an egg on top, cooked over easy to over medium. Trust me. It's gonna be amazing.

And maybe a dusting of red pepper flakes and a little lemon juice.

And yet, you can see people buying expensive avacado toast. What does your anecdotal evidence add to the conversation?


What conversation?
