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?
I used to think I hated it as I only encountered it in guacomoli that always had cilantro. Finally had it on its own and realized I lover it. And yeah its basically has a buttery texture but with its own flavor that pretty much goes with any savory dish. Its main problem is the same as bananas. Unripe is no good and it has a short ripe window before it becomes overripe and you have to use it in the window. Man I would love bananas and avocado that could be held and used like potatoes. Similar to avocado I would put bananas on pretty much anything sweet.
How good they taste depends on thier ripening too, if you open them too early it tastes like wood, too late and they are very bitter.
Try having one with some marmite
You seem to be expecting a sweet fruit. It isn’t that. It’s fatty and savory. Your post reads like “Fruit is really expensive in my area so I started buying butter… why does anyone like this stuff?”
Spread it on bread and sprinkle on some taco seasoning and salt. You’ll thank me.
There are different varieties, my coworker from Brazil said the ones they have there are sweet.
actually it might have just been because they put sugar on it, I forgot about that part until I read someone else’s comment 😅
Fwiw, I’m latina and generally not a big fan of them. Growing up, my dad ate at least one a day. It’s a huge thing in Hispanic households. They’re too bland
Try salt and lime/lemon or try putting it on bread with some type of meat.
I love raw plain avocado but most people don’t and wouldn’t eat it like that
Where I live, we put sugar on it.
You live in a strange world.
No wonder you are in constant pain.Here it is strange to eat it savory, we do see it more like a fruit. Just recently we started to use it to make guacamole because of mexican restaurants influence.
People like it because it has a creamy, refreshing texture, and a subtle flavour. Try toasting a slice of sourdough bread and smearing avocado on it. Top with sesame seeds if you can get them, and salt and pepper. Or you can try it on things, like people have it with chilli (not the peppers, the Mexican dish). Avocado with white rice is also nice. Mix smashed avocado with lemon juice to make it taste better.
I always though avocados taste were kind of bland compared to so many other foods. But when I was made aware that it actually tastes like a clean penis, and it actually does, I’ve come to enjoy the taste more.
But this begs the question. Do you really enjoy the taste of cock or the taste of clean.
I’d say the former, but not unhappy with the latter. In the case of avocado, it was for me a case of making sense of the taste. And it worked once I had a reference to attach it to.
People down vote like it’s a shitpost, but it the honest reason how I got accustomed to the taste.
If your love of gobbling cock also helps you enjoy the taste of healthy food, then I do not see the problem :D
All the unclean penises weep.
“Salt. I hear so much about salt. I tried a heaping spoonful and it was nasty. What am I doing wrong?”
Same energy, my friend. This is why cooking is such an amazing skill. You can take 10 things that aren’t particularly tasty, and create something amazing.
You don’t like butter block?
Avocados aren’t really supposed to be sweet. More like savory, with that buttery texture. They’re really good on toast, no matter what the boomers say.
Others have made some good suggestions. Salt, pepper, chili sauce or sriracha. A fried egg if you want it. Top notch.
are you not even putting salt and pepper on it?
Cause thats the most barebones way to eat it… Its okay just by itself, but it really needs at least salt and pepper, if its not part of a larger recipe or something.
I’m convinced anyone who says that either has a dulled sense of taste, or is confusing the texture for flavor. I could see arguing that they feel similar, since they definitely both have a soft texture. But in my experience, they absolutely do not taste the same. Avocado has a flavor, it’s delicate but it’s there. Clean penis just tastes like any other clean skin.
But not all clean skin is as smooth as a penis head. Matching texture for texture makes more sense.
… I’m gonna regret having this in my comment history, aren’t I?
Or the avocado is bland? not all avocado are built equally.
I would hedge that the penis consists of more than just regular skin there is a fair amount of erectile tissue in there as well, though i can’t vouch for a scientific difference is the taste experience.
it’s not just you, outside of Guacamole dip I can’t tolerate it.
