Bruh I saw avocado toasts everywhere in Russia in 2016 when I did a semester abroad. (And craft beers and most of them weren’t even IPAs!) I am pretty sure we had them in Germany around that time too, but it is harder to pinpoint when it started (a semester abroad is an easier time.reference to remember).
Comment on Regarding Avocado Toast

Am I insane? I’ve been seeing avocado toast on menus for years. Granted, I was living in California at the time, but still. I feel like Dunkin donuts introduced avocado toast to their menu like three years ago.
I’m not really a “brunch” guy, but I feel like every breakfast spot I’ve been to since 2015 has done avocado toast.

An ex and I used to jokingly sing “avocados from Mexico” because that was an advertising jingle, and she definitely ate avocado toast all the time. We broke up in 2013, so it had to be kinda popular before then.

I live in Baja California, where avocado is a popular daily staple and not a luxury item. Ever since I can remember you could go to a taco stand, any taco stand, and each taco came with a heaping large spoonful not of guacamole, but of thick, unadulterated avocado paste.
Only recently did avocado toast start appearing in menus of upscale breakfast cafes, and these also come with poached eggs and locally fancy stuff like asparagus. Quite nice, actually, I like to drizzle olive oil on top, also a couple of slices of prosciutto on the side.
