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?

They’re a source of healthy fats and

  • guacamole!!!!!
  • good contrast in taste and texture on a salad
  • similar role to sour cream on top of black bean soup or certain Tex-Mex foods
  • yes, Avocado toast, but it’s the seasoning that has the flavor

Yes to all that. And yes again to black bean soup and many, many other kinds of soups. Also yes on tacos, quesadillas, sandwiches, etc.
