I found a set of 1970s Gourmet Magazines @kathycaseychef cookbook sale in Ballard yesterday. While poking through the May 1970 issue this morning I chuckled at this ad from the CA Avocado Advisory Board touting avocado toast! Clearly ahead of the trend more than fifty years ago (or perhaps setting the trend), the ad explains avocados, bite for bite, have less than a fourth the calories of butter,margarine or mayo! They touted it as “the skinniest spread around”. Well, I will toast to that! #vintagecookbook #avocadotoast #gourmetmagazine #weightwatchers
