Avocado

[sfreeman8]

I have tried them four times and didn't find them very good. They say Haas avocados are the best but I didn't see any difference between them and unmarked ones. They had no flavor, even the Haas. Evidently, they are an acquired taste. I'm going to try again in a different recipe and see if that makes a difference.  I tried guacamole and found that had no flavor either.

It's all in the seasoning.  Whatever brand of avocado I'm using, I start with a little bit of himalayan pink salt, a pinch of pepper ( I like white pepper ) and a drizzle of olive oil.  Voila - flavor has been unlocked.  It's flavorful for me at least.

If olive oil doesn't suit your fancy, you can also try Italian salad dressing.  There are numerous possibilities.  Slice off a little piece of avocado and get creative.

There are other places we can get avocados. I like them a lot but could probably survive without them if necessary. 

FYI: "The second largest avocado producing country in the world is the Dominican Republic. It produces 420,000 metric tons annually, a number that has been steadily increasing over the last few years. A large percentage of this production is consumed nationally rather than exported. In 2011, this country exported $23.9 million worth of avocados, when it was only number 8 in global production. The Dominican Republic is currently planning to plant more avocado trees in an effort to reforest the island and to increase export potential. Other significant avocado producing countries include Peru, Colombia and Indonesia."

Possibly we could help other economies by purchasing avocados from these other countries.

I keep trying to like avocados but I just don't. It tastes like plastic to me. Maybe my taste will change when I get a bit older.

I love them too and I don't think my avocado trees are going to give me any this year.  Last three years they gave me an abundance.  They are the large ones.  Not the little Haas ones.

If you ever want to taste a REAL Avocado, look for Fuerte avocados. They make the others seem tasteless and the rich texture is amazing.

I love to squeeze fresh lemon on them and add a little salt.  Tastes so good.

I have yet to find a way to eat avocados that I enjoy. I hate it because everyone around me loves them - I just can't stand the taste or texture.

I need to find some Fuerte avocados here... I would like to try them, for sure!   I eat avocados pretty much daily & an even better tasting avocado would be a great find.  Thanks for the suggestion!
