After hearing all the hype about avocados, OP decides to try them, expecting them to taste like apples, berries, or other types of fruit. (lemmy.world)

Avocado. Is it really so untasty or I am doing something wrong?

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?

I despise them - it tastes like mushy peat bog.

Makes me wonder if this is a cilantro problem.

Makes me wonder if this is a cilantro problem.

If so, it is probably not correlated, as I like cilantro (and hate avocado).
