Woman pays £10 for 'deconstructed' avocado on toast which she has to make herself

A woman was left stunned after her £10 avocado on toast arrived “deconstructed”.

Jess McGuire, a journalist in Melbourne, ordered the dish at Kettle Black Café in the city and was shocked to find that she’d have to put together the dish herself after paying $18.

She posted an image of the plate featuring two slices of toast, half an avocado, a chunk of feta and a slice of lime to Instagram.

On the post she wrote: “I’m not sure you guys will ever fully understand the level of annoyance I felt being handed this alleged “avocado toast with feta breakfast that cost $18 today.

“’Pretty deconstructed isn’t it?’ I dryly remarked to the waitress, to which she smiled enthusiastically and nodded.

“What f****** next, being handed an avocado seed and told to farm the land and grow my own crop over several years before returning to the café to finally enjoy my breakfast?”

Hundreds of people have liked the image on Instagram with many sharing their own experiences.

One user wrote: “That’s hilarious. I had exactly the same meal here only 4-6 weeks ago and I couldn’t believe it myself, except mine came without the fetta…I still talk about it today because I was so disappointed.”

While Kathryn Black said: “Big profit margin on that plate!”

Manager of the café, Tim James told News.com.au that the dish is one of the most popular items on their menu.

“It’s half an avo in the skin which pays homage to the avocado and the farms. Then you make it yourself and design your breakfast your own way.

“You can’t please everyone. We can add things if they are not happy but we have served it like this for four years and it is one of the most ordered dishes on our menu.”
