Brilliant idea. Thank you for sharing. I can't find toro, this sounds like a great substitute.

Hass Avocados are a buck each, all day long here at all the fruit stands. Im not an avocado expert so these might be small scrawny ones, just I saw them this morning next to my Italian frying peppers I bought. I remember a story when the "Mob" controlled the price of Artichokes. Lotsa money in some of these green fruits and veggies.
Maybe the avacado eaters are the ones paying for the wall!
DW and I drove through Castroville CA," the artichoke capital of the world",10 days ago. If the "Mob" is controlling the price, they got some serious green coming in! They were as far as the eye could see in all directions.
I don't know about avocado prices, but have you ever tried avocado slices with soy sauce and wasabi? When avocado was introduced in Japan years and years ago, that's how everyone used to eat them (I would say this recipe was definitely trending.) - Eating this dish is like eating Toto (the fatty belly of the tuna, which is the most expensive part of tuna) sashimi. Very close in flavor IMO and many Japanese people's opinion. The avocado is a cheap man's toro.

That's the good stuff. Most places use a dyed horseradish.Never have eaten avocado that way, I usually just eat it plain. But that wasabi makes avocado look free by comparison. I saw it last week in Uwajimaya for $99 per pound!
Ha
This $99 stuff is the root, just like some places sell horseradish root. Grate your own. I have likely never eaten real wasabi.That's the good stuff. Most places use a dyed horseradish.
It's not just avocados. What happened to artichokes? I ate them as a kid all the time now I have to pay $2.50 to eat leaves! What gives?
I only had it once at a sushi place we are at weekly. They had some, special event, and brought some over. Different, it's flavor probably lost on my palete.This $99 stuff is the root, just like some places sell horseradish root. Grate your own. I have likely never eaten real wasabi.

The millennial generation has an affinity for avocado toast (just google it) generating excess demand.
