love or hate?

I could eat them til the cows come home, especially in Guacamole (home made of course) - but had them hot in some kind of Vietnamese spring roll & bleeurgh - not so much.

Anyway let's hear it for the avocado.....I can't believe there is anyone out there that doesn't like this lardy delight.

    In the United Kingdom, the avocado became widely available in the 1960s when it was introduced by Marks and Spencer under the name 'avocado pear'. However, many customers tried to use it as a dessert ingredient like other pears (e.g. with custard), and complained to the store that it was inedible. As a result, Marks and Spencer dropped the word 'pear' and labelled it simply 'avocado'

    Not keen, usually rock hard or like mush, with a tiny window when they are ready to eat.

    Try a few bits of avocado in a fresh fruit salad. Lovely.
    Agree about the tiny window, and I have never got the hang of peeling the buggers.

    Love guacamole but not a fan of avocado.

    Hope that doesnt sound too weird considering they are the same thing

    Agree but like guacamole. Similarly goes brown 17.5 seconds after opening

    Lemon is the secret to keeping them green.

    I read somewhere that if you make guacamole & put the stone into the mush it stops it going brown - I have usually chucked the stone in the bin by the time I remember this handy tip.

    Love it - guacamole and on its own.

    Had some really good nachos the other day that had chunks of guacamole mixed in with sour cream rather than the sour cream/guacamole combo.

    Love. Fantastic food for keeping fit as well - use it to get a lot of my 'good' fats. Goes cracking with prawns, spring onions and sweet chili sauce.

    They do deliver round our way, but I prefer to go to Waitrose in person.
  • DaveMehmetDaveMehmet
    Goes down well with rocket salad, pan fried pancetta or bacon pieces, cherry toms, croutons & dressing.

    Is it safe to ask if in this case that Avocados are a thinly veiled reference to Margaret Thatcher? Or am I over analysing this?

    Not fact at all, avocado actually helps lower cholesterol.

    Sorry, thought this was a thread on a new trial signing from an obscure South American league.

    Known for his silky skills, Antonio Avocado scored 3 in 43 appearances for the well known Ecuadorian third division outfit Ingapirca Incas. Although only 4ft 9inches tall and having a club foot, manager Chris Powell feels that the pacey Avocado brings just the right balance of low wages and lack of work permit that the team urgently needs at this stage of the season.

    Love. Full of GOOD fats.

    I don't hate them, it's just that there's always something else I'd much prefer. I suppose that makes them the fruit equivalent of Leyton Orient.

    Love them. Mexican avocados
    just came into season and we got our first delivery today. They are awesome.

    The secret to guacamole is very finely chopped red onion, diced fresh jalapeño peppers (half with seeds half without), lime juice and salt. Bobs your uncle. Never had the problem of it going brown, lime juice will stop that.

    I'd recommend adding some apple or radishes. Also puréeing smoked jalepeno and putting a spoon top. Winners.

    Love them, but again I agree with the twenty minute window in which they have to be eaten.
