I would just ask them. “Is WF guacamole ok for your toast, or do you prefer I get an avocado? I’ve never had it and am happy to get whichever you prefer.”

It's actually not easy. I buy avocados often, and most of the time you have to wait for them to ripen. So it's tricky to just have a perfectly ripe avocado on hand.

Easy breakfasts include cereals, eggs done a million different ways, toasts with jams, pancakes, yogurt, etc. I would not request an avocado toast without knowing that the host makes it regularly. It kind of screams tone deafness.

You’d rather make pancakes and eggs than avocado toast? I think it fits fine in your list as an option. Cereal and milk, yogurt, all require specific tastes that I’m sure I’d have to find.


Like I said, having a perfectly ripe avocado on hand is not a sure thing. All these other breakfast items are typical and usually found in most American households.

OP's house guest is being difficult. #gavel.


The avocado doesn’t have to be “perfectly ripe.” There’s a broad window and usually you can buy some softer ones at the store. Then put it in the fridge.


I buy avocados frequently but there is still a bit of luck to timing it. Go early and they are all overripe to the point the fridge won't help. Go later and they are rock hard. Sometimes you can time it right, sometimes you can't.


You can put it in the fridge right when it’s softening and it will keep for days like that. Truly not rocket science.

The only issue is some guac can be onion-heavy, which is quite unappealing for breakfast.
