A creamy, fat rich, savory fruit paste traditionally served with Hispanic food. It serves to accent the seasoning of spicy dishes by balancing the heat to allow more of the complex flavors through. It's also popularly consumed on its own as a dip. While some of these things can be accomplished by sour cream or humus, both have their own distinctive qualities that prevent them from being a 1:1 comparison.

It's so weird to me when I hear people describe avocados as fruit. Because they are clearly. But it just feels wrong to me and I don't know why.

If you're at all from the US it may be due to use to us teaching that sweet things are fruit and not sweet things are vegetables.

That 90's era food pyramid really fucked up a generation.

Ok, so there's like 2...4...no more than like 10 or 12 exceptions to the rule.

No, see cuz you calling it a vegetable just sounds equally weird to me. They're both weird. I don't know why.

Alright, so avacados are the globs of meat dangling from some trees that they use to reproduce.

Is that sounding more natural to you?

I enjoy defining many fruits as edible tree spooge.

...I could have lived happily without that forbidden perspective of cursed knowledge.

Sigh... Now I have to use it to torture my friends.
