But is Irish guacamole just Peruvian guacamole served in Ireland?
post
As a major guacamole and mashed potato fan the answer is no. Too many major differences. Potato is a vegetable and avocado is a fruit. Mashed potato is primarily potato with spices and an oil while guac is a fruit with a few other fruits, fruit juices, vegetables like onion, and some spices. Guac also functions primarily as a dip while mashed potato is stand alone with the ability to function as a dip. They aren't similar enough to be analogous.

This seems like as good a place as any to assert a much more defensible position: frito pie is Texan poutine.
