For everyone who cant understand the hype of eating avocado as anything other than a spread, I recommend splitting it in half and squeezing half a lemon on each avocado half (it collects in the hole where the pit was), then eating with a teaspoon. Here in Cyprus we are often teased (and we do a fair bit of self deprecating jokes about this) that we put lemon on everything, but I think it genuinely works with avocado, and its a great little snack.

The answer is seasoning!

I either mash or dice it and add lime juice, a sprinkle of cumin, and chopped tomatoes. Salt the chopped tomatoes first. Life-changing.

Exactly my take.
Tried them once, have ignored them ever since.
Wife and daughter love them, though.

They’re a source of healthy fats and

• guacamole!!!!!
• good contrast in taste and texture on a salad
• similar role to sour cream on top of black bean soup or certain Tex-Mex foods
• yes, Avocado toast, but it’s the seasoning that has the flavor

I remember, years back, talking to some French guy who went to an American store in France with his girlfriend and tried Pop-Tarts, as he'd heard that a lot of Americans like them. He said "These are terrible! I can't understand why anyone would eat these!"

I asked him whether he'd toasted them.

Apparently

I went and looked on the packaging

at the time, they didn't actually tell you to toast them on the package. Just assumed that you know to do that via cultural diffusion or whatever. Looking on Amazon right now, they do apparently stick directions on the thing, so I assume that at some point, enough people ran into trouble with that that they fixed the issue.

They really are poor on flavour. They are an ingredient, not something to eat solo.

I like avocado. Raw, unseasoned by itself, it tastes good to me. Even better on toast or with something else.

Me and the girlfriend had them on BLTs we made the other day. Shits delicious.

I also remember trying it for the first time and not understanding the hype or why it was so expensive. When I worked in a restaurant later on it finally made sense. I was on the line then and used it in sandwiches. Their description is dead on… I mostly treat it like plant butter. But I’ll eat it straight up now that I’ve developed a taste for it.

By itself? Gross.

Mixed with onion tomato salt bacon lime? Perfect guacamole.

I've heard avacado tastes like clean dick.

Smashed avo on toast with egg is the best breakfast ever - but just avo?

Avocado is awful, not sure who first ate one and thought it tasted good.

I don't want near or in anything - I can still taste it's awfullness no matter how little is used.

It tastes like mushy peat bog.
