I really like guacamole, and a piece of ripe avocado with a dab of salt complements many dishes.
But it seems to me that avocados are on the same trajectory as pumpkins — on their way to becoming so ubiquitous as to inspire a “ho-hum” reaction.
I knew the pumpkin craze had gone too far when I sampled my first pumpkin beer — and that was at least 15 years ago.
The lesson here — there are trendy things that are actually good, and there are trendy things that are only trendy. But it’s never good for a good thing to become trendy.

Last fall I went into a Bertucci’s with my daughter and saw a sign for a Pumpkin Cocktail. I scoffed,and said sarcastically,”What’s next,pumpkin
beer?”
She just laughed and told me that it had been around for years. I just shook my head and said that pumpkin beer was as bad as sun-dried tomato bagels.
