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.
