No, since Potatoes are Peruvian, not Irish
I mean, im of the ‘poptart is basically a dessert calzone’ persuasion, so… yeah, sure why not.
There are differences, but basically yes.
Bonus points for having O’Brian in there.
It’s times like this that I worry about legalizing weed
Except that Potatoes are from the new world…
Tomatoes are too but are essential for many Italian dishes.
Very true, which makes you think what their food was before they hijacked the tomato.
I shudder just thinking about it.
In the soup, salad, or sandwich alignment it would be soup and so would guacamole.
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.
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.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.
No because avocado is a berry but potato is a tuber
Melt a big knob of butter in the middle of all of them and inject it my veins. drool
Guacamole isn’t eaten on its own or with some form of gravy. Mashed potatoes are. One can argue about open face sandwich vs. burrito and the addition of each to their respective cuisine but that’s a hard sell.
FWIW, Avocado toast doesn’t factor into the discussion any more then a baked potato would imo.
Mashed potato toast never really caught on anywhere.
Probably that’s a lot of carbs. Avocado has oils and fats and it’s a fruit.
mashed avocados
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.
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.
There was a can of refried beans that proudly stated “Mexican mashed potatoes”
Instead of garnishing with pico you garnish with bacon bits.
Mushy peas are just British guacamole
The guac they deserve
