It must be the Californian in me, but I LOVE avocado - especially in sandwiches or as a guacamole!

Avocado in a sandwich.

A sandwich half speared onto the top of its other half. Can I assume that's just for the snap, or is it a thing for serving I've not come across before?

I'm assuming it's just for the snap. I've never seen a sandwich served like that before either.

Am I the only person who could never even bring themselves to try avocado? I don't know what it is, theres just something about it that makes my brain scream "NOT FOOD!" at me.

All the more for the rest of us.

I tried to eat an avocado once. From its shape and form I figured it was in the same class of fruit as say a mango, so I tried to eat it like one. Sliced one in half and grabbed a spoon. Big stone in the middle, but mangoes have a seed too so whatever.

Firstly, it didn't really taste like anything. Maybe it was kinda sweet if I squinted my tongue really hard, but otherwise it was just...blah, like having a spoonful of straight margarine or something. And then while chewing on a somewhat hard-to-carve-out piece, I discovered wood.

Like seriously - there was only a very small visual difference, but portions of the avocado had the consistency and toughness of actual wood, and I couldn't chew it. And like a significant portion of the avocado was this way, and you couldn't just like carve the woody parts out and avoid them because they were like strings or roots, they spread out through much of the fruit. Like what the heck is this? If you eat a piece of a mango....or a melon, or a cantaloupe or a honeydew or whatever the heck - and you find a part of it that's not quite as ripe as the rest, it's less sweet certainly and maybe a LITTLE tougher than the rest of the fruit, but it's still freaking edible.

Never again.

Good lord. Where did you find this alleged avocado, Cody? That was a terrible specimen, and not at all the norm.

On their own they are rather bland, yes, until they're ripe; but, even then, they're more umami than anything else. You can dress them with any sort of salad dressing, or salt, pepper, and some salsa .... or just squeeze on some lemon.

Or just omit the avocado and eat the things that taste like something other than grease and ennui.

I am mystified by all these people who don't understand the glory of avocados.

First of all, stick to Hass avocados, they are by far the best.

Second, if you find hard chunks in the green flesh, it wasn't fully ripe yet. It takes practice to learn the correct time to open an avocado.

Third, the flavor is subtle, but it's a flavor that you just can't get anywhere else. Salt and acid don't hide the flavor, they enhance it. For those of us who do enjoy that flavor, avocados are pure heaven.

Should also mention that the fat in avocados enhances the flavor and texture of other foods. I love adding avo to burgers and sandwiches, mixed into salads (some mushed to make the dressing creamy and some in chunks), even as a base under eggs.

Good.

Cheese and bacon also have fat. And flavor.

Yep. Lots of things have fat and flavor. We're not limited to just one kind of flavorful fat, we can appreciate each (or not) for their unique qualities.

And avo WITH bacon? OH FUCK YES!

Sounds like Vertiable's revving up to join the keto-heads.
