From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.There are many delicious foods in this world: pizza and ice cream, houmous and cake, avocados and coffee.
But that is not to say these things should be paired together.
And yet, that is what people are doing. Behold, the ‘avolatte’:
As the name would suggest, it is a latte served in an avocado skin. And it’s happening.
Just why anyone would want to drink a latte from an avocado over a regular cup is unclear - would the coffee be infused with avocado? How would you hold it without a handle? Is it to save on washing up?
So many questions, so few answers.
One man recently posted a picture online of his avolatte from a cafe in Turkey, and there’s also a coffee shop in Australia (of course) serving the beverages, if they can be deemed as such.
What with avocados and latte art both amongst millennials’ favourite Instagram subjects, it’s possible the avolatte could be the next big trend fuelled by the picture-sharing social network.
Despite this, not everyone is a fan of the avolatte:
What’s next? Cocktails served in banana skins? Smoothies in egg shells?
It is quite the time to be alive.
