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?
Avocados aren’t sweet and contain a lot of fat, so yes, they kind of taste like a butter block with kind of a vegetable undertone. That’s why they are usually eaten seasoned and as a savory.
That said, if they aren’t traditional in your country, they don’t have that much going for them. I like guacamole, but I don’t think the it justifies the price when there are so many other things to eat.
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?
I would say definitely it’s a side dish, not something that you eat alone. It’s also very good to put slices on toast. Add pepper and salt on top. You can also drink it as smoothie. It finds its way to salads like egg salad (eggs, avocado, onion, mayo, mustard). Btw, butter tastes good raw 😄
My girlfriend’s dog managed to break into a cooler bag I had. What was he after? The plant-based butter I had in there. Bro destroyed the bag so bad we had to toss it out, and all because he wanted butter.
Don’t let anyone tell you it can’t be enjoyed on its own.
The quality can vary by the avocado. If it is slightly stringy, brown or metallic, the fruit is bad. Even a good avocado still has a mild flavor. I think that avocado is good with salt, cumin, tomato salsa, or garlic powder. In some recipes, people add cilantro or lime juice, too.
Avocados are good for sandwiches, but you can also make guacamole dip with them. The guacamole pairs with chips. I don’t think people eat avocados on their own very much.
At least in the Americas, you don’t buy avocado for sweetness. It’s basically a replacement for fat (with fats of it’s own). Think turkey bacon avocado, for example: turkey is a leaner meat, avocado supplements that, and bacon adds flavor and saltiness.
If you must get something sweet out of it, I’ve had good luck mixing it with a sprinkle of sugar, a splash of lime juice, and a little hot sauce if you want to be frisky.
Yeah. Slice it and put it on a sandwich with a fried egg. Or chop it when it’s still firm and throw it in a salad. It’s good, but it’s not really for eating like an apple. They added creaminess and texture to savory things.
I think some people genuinely like the taste, but I’m with you - they just taste kind of ‘meh’. Certainly not as nice as most other things.
They are extremely healthy, though - they’re considered a top-tier superfood.
Agreed excellent in a smoothie no thanks in any other dish.
It seems you’re expecting it to act as a fruit. Avocados are used as gourmet ingredients in the west. If you want a sweeter application of it, look up southeast asian desserts made from avocado. It’s usually combined with milk, sugar, and sometimes ice to make it cold and refreshing.
Avocado alone needs some salt. Otherwise, you need to prepare stuff with it.
Try salt and lime/lemon or try putting it on bread with some type of meat.
I put avocado slices on toast with fried eggs on top.
It’s savory, not sweet. Some salt does wonders, tabasco is nice too :)
Hey, how fresh are they? I never liked avocados until I tried them in California, in season. It was like night and day.
But as others have said, they’re not really “sweet”.
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.
“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.
