How to eat: avocado toast - The Guardian
Feckless hipster that it is, this month How to Eat is brunching on avo toast. But is that avo ‘smashed’ or sliced? Is sourdough the only way to go? And should this remain a bacon-free zone?
Fittingly for a fruit whose original Nahuatl name, āhuacatl, also means testicle, there has been some right old balls written recently about avocados and, specifically, How to Eat’s subject this month, avocado toast.
This brunch favourite of upwardly mobile, trendy young urbanites – for argument’s sake, let’s call them hipsters – has become a prism of anger through which many (older) people see a world they no longer understand. Columnists and wealthy entrepreneurs have railed against supposedly skint millennials frivolously spending £9 on brunch, drawing harrumphing support from the kind of people who get unreasonably upset about the abbreviation “avo toast” and how we don’t have national service any more.
