Do you like avocados?

[i_mmmchocolate]

Well, do you?

I love them!

I find that most people either *absolutely* love them or *absolutely* detest them.

So chime in, folks. I want to know.

[The Mirrorball Man]

Of course I love them. I wasn't even aware of the fact that it was possible not to love them until now.

There was a gentleman (and I use that word in its loosest sense, as the individual in question was clearly the missing link between man and orang-utan) that I used to sit next to at work, who every lunch time used to tuck into a mixture of avocado, pear and prawns.

Now I've never tasted avocado, but I loathed this guy so much that it has, as a consequence, put me off the stuff for life.

[hulahulk]

Yes. I especially love guacamole. Even if it isn't smeared all over a hottie babe.

[redlantern2051]

I love them! I get avacado spread, instead of butter, on sandwiches at lunch time!

[Dr. Hfuhruhurr]

Guac is my life!

[GremlinClr]

Funny, I've had Guacamole and it wasn't gag indusing but I can't stand plain avocados.

[Naldo]

mmmm..Avocados

Slice it open, slap the knife into the pit and twist to remove....a very light dusting of salt and you've got one hell of a snack!

chop some onion, a bit of tomato, some pressed garlic, salt, a dollop of lime juice and perhaps some finely minced jalapeno, smash it all into a couple or three Avocados and you've got some nice guacam-olé!

[JeffreyWKramer]

Not my thing at all. So many better things to eat.

[Cei-U!]

Can't tell you why but the texture and taste of avocados gross me out.

Cei-U!
I summon the yechh!

[Punchy]

I love avocados.

Really good on sandwiches.

[Michael P]

I don't think I've ever had them.

[Guapo Méndez]

Can't be a self-respecting mexican if I don't like avocados. Or aguacates, as we know them here.

In guacamole they are truly sublime. They enhance a good grilled meat taco in most amazing ways. One flour tortilla, a smear of guacamole, grilled cheese, the grilled meat, some green sauce -spicy is good, mild is acceptable- and you're ready to go.

Simple avocado in a corn tortilla -the tortilla heated a little while in the stove- with just a dash of salt is a good, fast snack.

A sandwich -and a torta- made with ham, salami, cheese, avocado and beans is truly food of the Gods.

The slogan here is "Avocado: fruit's butter". And I agree.

Oh, and aguacate comes from the náhuatl word "ahuacatl", (náhuatl was the ancient aztec language) which was their word for "testicle".

[Kid Seven]

Yummmm...avocados....aguacate.......

I LOVE avocados. I am a Southern Californian though, and it's almost a dish all by itself. There's so many different types of guacamole alone. I also like Avocado in scrambles, in salads and on burgers.

Yum.

[Ayo]

I don't even know what they are.

Fruit, vegetable, nut, bean, legume?

[howyadoin]

Can't tell you why but the texture and taste of avocados gross me out.It might be the similarity to vomit.

[Solaris]

I don't care for them. Which, if I'm right in remembering how fattening they are, is a good thing for me! :D

[mgs]

never had a whole one, had guacamole, and like it, but can't stand the look of it, i have to be tricked into eating it.

[meethraa]

Avocado juice is my favorite drink.

[Guapo Méndez]

That's how I feel about mayonaise.

[tempestuousepulchre]

I can't say that i love them but they are excellent in guacamole sauce. I don't enjoy eating just the fruit though. It's best in some food preparation.

[JeffreyWKramer]

Avocado juice is my favorite drink.

Seriously? Why?

I guess I'd drink avocado juice if I was dying of thirst and my only two choices were "avocado juice" and "rat semen", but that's about what it would take to get me to drink it.

[Andy S.]

My love for the avocado reaches into many foods. :D

Obviously, there's Guacamole. But it also makes a great combo with smoked salmon and cream cheese. This combo makes an excellent sushi roll-(usually called "Philly Roll")

Last weekend I tried an avocado spread on some cheeseburgers I was grilling and it was delicious. Avocado worked well as a sauce, because it has a nice, subtle flavor - unlike the strong flavors of mustard and ketchup which tend to overpower any flavor the burger might have, IMO.

Edit: Oh, and one more thing. Try avocado sliced with red pepper sprinkled on it. It works as a spicy snack, but the fruit's properties make it balance out the pepper well. So you're not having to drink lots of water to wash it down.

[howyadoin]

That's how I feel about mayonaise.Mexican vomit is white?

Man, you learn something new every day.
