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 also remember trying it for the first time and not understanding the hype or why it was so expensive. When I worked in a restaurant later on it finally made sense. I was on the line then and used it in sandwiches. Their description is dead on… I mostly treat it like plant butter. But I’ll eat it straight up now that I’ve developed a taste for it.
