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?

    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.
