mashed avocados
Melt a big knob of butter in the middle of all of them and inject it my veins. drool
As long as they are both chunky, I’ll allow it.
There was a can of refried beans that proudly stated “Mexican mashed potatoes”
Instead of garnishing with pico you garnish with bacon bits.
Do people eat whole bowls of guacamole? Just like spoonfuls into your mouth?
As one of the 7 people who dislikes avocados - that seems horrifying.
I mean, if you consider tortilla chips to be edible guacamole spoons, then yes.
Yes, we used to but we stopped during the great avocado famine that lasted from 1845 until 1953. About 1 million of us died.
Guacamole is so much nicer than avocado. I probably eat more guac than mashed potatoes, usually on toast or in wraps though. As the Aztec gods intended.
Both avocados and quacamole are wildly overrated, I’m in San Diego and it’s every where.
I’d disappear avocados for the sake of potatoes.
Pizza is just an open-face sandwich. Like a chili melt. Same thing.
Pizza purists are so funny. Like oh, your culture/city/country has a monopoly on putting random stuff on top of flat bread while it’s baking? Get real. Probably the first loaf of flatbread ever made, the person eating it was like “This would be better with some sauce and stuff on top while it’s baked.”
Meh, it’s different operations. The bread is already baked before you make the sandwich, pizza dough is raaaaaw.
No pizza in either photo.
What do you mean? It’s dough with stuff on top.
Cats and dogs both have 4 legs and a tail. Are they the same thing?
They’re both mammals, yes.
What other things do you get confused about?
I could ask you the same question. Those are all technically pizzas. They are cooked dough with toppings on it, usually pizza sauce and cheese.
I don’t understand your confusion with the subject. Especially with comparing mammals to mammals. We are all incredibly similar with a few genetic differences. Just like a generic oven baked pizza or a tortilla pizza. They’re different, but also the same.
Pizza is toast
Pizza is a savoury cake.
Hard to say if it’s Irish. It could be. But:
First printed recipe: English author Hannah Glasse published the earliest known recipe for modern mashed potatoes in her 1747 book, The Art of Cookery Made Plain and Easy.
The recipe: She instructed cooks to boil and peel potatoes, then vigorously mash them with butter, salt, and milk.
Obviously Britain and Ireland are very close to one another, and someone being English doesn’t mean they don’t have Irish parentage or tutelage or friends. (Even in those days.)
Britain + Ireland are also called “The British isles,” so unfortunately for the Irish, even if we disambiguate to include the possibility of it being an Irish creation, it will still be called a “British” dish - which merely makes it look like it’s English again, to most people.
Potatoes in Ireland being a result of the Colombian exchange, this is one of those scenarios where you might be able to find an equivalent South American dish from before Ireland had potatoes(wild to think about, right?). The Inca grew potatoes with corn and eggplant for their farming, and it’s hard to imagine they ate them raw.
Some googling shows things that all appear to be fusion cuisine, but then any use of tomatoes or potatoes in Europe is fusion cuisine anyway :P
Edit: lmao this entire discussion is hashed out further down anyway, love it
It really doesn’t get much better than that. You can substitute milk for cream, and also force it through a sieve to get extra creamy mash, and add a bit of garlic, but well done mash is so simple and good
More like guac is American hummus, considering chickpeas are one of the oldest domesticated plants we know of.
American??
Like the continent
Yeah fair
Nah, you don’t eat mashed taters with thin crisps (corn or otherwise). You could, but typically people don’t.
And you don’t boil avocados for guac
Edit: or add citrus to mash. I was going to say you can’t add dairy to guac, but guac and sour cream go very well together. Def no butter or milk though shudder
You know, some citrus to a baked tater would be awesome probably. Would need to be lime, I think.
<Spitefully squeezes kumquats onto a baked potato, maintaining direct eye contact>
Yeah actually, add some chili, you’ve basically got tajin, I can see that. Indian cuisine has awesome chili potatoes, I wouldn’t be surprised if there usually citrus in there.
It’s a dipper if you use gravey and sausages
It’s a real banger.
Which is why mushy peas are British guacamole:
Damn, I need to do some spiced mushi peas sometime. They seem like with enough msg, black pepper and a bit of cheese they will make a delicious & healthy dip.
Mushy peas are just British guacamole
The guac they deserve
No because avocado is a berry but potato is a tuber
I mean, im of the ‘poptart is basically a dessert calzone’ persuasion, so… yeah, sure why not.
There are differences, but basically yes.
It’s times like this that I worry about legalizing weed
In the soup, salad, or sandwich alignment it would be soup and so would guacamole.
