    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

          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.

    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.

      Meh, it’s different operations. The bread is already baked before you make the sandwich, pizza dough is raaaaaw.

      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.”

                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.

    Seeing that both vegetables were part of the Columbian exchange and therefore have no pre 1500 European roots it’s improper to call any potato preparation ‘Irish’.
