Makes sense

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.
Also, potatoes are Peruvian not Irish
Vegetables aren't real. Potatoes are a tuber, avocado are a fruit, onion is a root, etc.
Vegetable is a culinary category but not a botanical one. Fruit is a botanical and a culinary category and the two categories overlap but are not identical. Tomatoes are fruits (botanically) and vegetables (culinarily) but not fruits (culinarily).
Is that why people look at me funny when I compliment my friend's fruit salad (it's actually green beans almondine)
Nerco-ing this for relevant Tom Cardy.
Vegetables are the parts of a plant that aren't fruit imo
But that's just incorrect. A potato is a tuber, not a vegetable, just like avocados are fruits and not vegetables.
Is a tuber not a type of vegetable in the same way a leaf and a root can be a vegetable? Fruits are not vegetables obviously. If Tubers, roots, and leaves do not fall under the classification of vegetable then I suppose it truly does not exist.
Yeah, leaves and roots aren't vegetables any more than fruits are. Vegetables really don't exist, it's all just various plant parts that we eat.
But is Irish guacamole just Peruvian guacamole served in Ireland?
Guys is this mashed thing this other thing because it's mashed too?
They will not take away my mash n toast

This seems like as good a place as any to assert a much more defensible position: frito pie is Texan poutine.
I feel like reading this is like a thought crime.
Potatoes are food for famine not thought.
This would be true if a potato was a fruit.
