Avocado. I heard much about these fruits/berries/whatever. But I am a poor guy from a very poor and totally non-tropical country. So apples and carrots are the sweetest things around and apples become too expensive too.
Still I bought a few. Just out of curiosity. It tastes like… butter block. Internet says that it should be this way. So… Why people eat it? Maybe it is bad alone and\or raw, but after some preparation it is delicious?
Am I missing something?
Depends on the avocado and how it is prepared.
I removed the pit and shoveled the rest in my mouth :) Like any other fruit or berry I ever saw.
Eating an avocado straight-up like you would other fruits will generally be unpleasant. It needs other food to balance it.
Cut the fruit in half the long way, core it, slice thinly, and serve on top of anything salty, savory or crunchy. Tortilla chips, fried eggs, bacon, mushrooms, ground beef, etc. You’ll have a very different experience :).
I always mash it with salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper, and touch of lime juice.
the add it to eggs or sandwiches or tacos or something.
I uh, appreciate you just going for it raw though
Avocados are closer to olives in terms of fruitiness. You don’t eat them alone unless you’re Victoria Beckham.
It should be very soft when ripe, and I always add salt.
Think of it like an onion. You’re probably not going to enjoy just chowing down on one.
