(S)mashed Avocado on Toast

It doesn't have to be expensive either - check a local greengrocer if you have one for bargain avos. Or just watch out for bargains in the supermarket. However, for convenience, the ready-to-eat variety are handy and found everywhere.
And given that avos can be a bit hit and miss in the UK, here are two more suggestions!
