When will the avocado madness stop? After “avocado hand”, avocado-themed restaurants and avocado burgers, the latest trend involving the vegetable du jour involves pouring lattes into emptied half-shells.
While the “avolatte” started as a joke by a barista in Melbourne, Australia, the irony seems to have been lost on the Internet, instead inspiring copycats to post their own versions of the concoction on Instagram, some in jest, others in earnest.
“Combing two of Melbourne’s obsessions – lattes and avo,” reads the caption to the original Instagram post from Truman Cafe.
Within about two weeks of being shared, the photo began making the rounds on the web and has been viewed about 6,700 times – enough to spawn other hipster baristas to recreate what’s now known as the “avolatte”.

Never underestimate man’s ability to create gross pairings.
Interesting burger, but I think I’d rather just put the slices on the top. That looks like it could get messy. I skip the bun with burgers.
Avocado madness must now be in full rage.
The price has almost doubled in the last few months.
Someone needs an atomic wedgie?
“When will the avocado madness stop? “
When a kid gnaws one into the shape of a gun.
Avocado is the most effective way to ruin a recipe.
Jeb’s new enterprise?
They’re already shaped like grenades. lol
Best thing MickeyDees has ever done for me; $7.47 includes drink. Woweee!
Throw away the useless bun . . .
Carbs kill!!!!!
The historic name for avocado was “alligator pear”.
I used to take an avocado (in season) in my lunch bucket along with saltines and drinking chile. That’s still about the only way I like them.
” drinking chile.”

What is that?

Best I could do:
Don't be a snuffer. Everybody needs carbohydrates, It's the ones you choose that makes the difference. Good oils and starches are so much better than gluten/wheat, sugar, and beef fat. I'll take avocado, lettuce, cheese, and chicken over a McDouble any day of the week, based on nutrition (although it's twice as expensive).
I think that will be good enough. You’ve exposed the deadly truth about avocados!
You'll have to wait until he sabors up.
Take some chiltepins and crush them. Add them to a quart or more of water along with garlic, vinegar, sugar, salt, diced onions and boil. Then use cheese cloth to strain the solids out. Cool it and drink with care. It goes well with many things like avocado, burritos, tamales, etc. It makes you sweat and works much better than salt tablets. It was popular in the mines I worked in. You put your bottle in the ice water can to keep it very cold.
Thanks for the recipe——most interesting,but I have to admit I had to go to Google to see what chiltepins were.
Sounds a tad too “hot” for me but a couple of my sons would love it,and probably have had it.
