What raw vegan ingredient would you describe as "the food of the gods?" Do you eat it cooked, raw, or both? (hexbear.net)

I'm wondering because last night I was thinking about how, to me, garlic is the food of the gods. And I just ate three small cloves of garlic raw.

What a kick to the taste buds.

My favorite way to eat avocado is to cut it in half and peel it, dust it with black salt and pepper, and pretend I'm eating boiled eggs

Nice. I've never actually eaten one that way but maybe I'll give it a try. The only problem with avocados is that they can get messy to handle and that way sounds like it would be hard to avoid the mess aspect. Doesn't mean it's not another good method though. But the "yolk" of your hardboiled egg-ocado is going to be rather tough!

When I'm eating one just on its own or sprinkled with salt, I usually halve it along the length, take the pit out of whichever half it ended up in, then use a spoon to scoop out all the goodness from inside the peel like it's two little single-use bowls. For slices, I do the same thing but I make the cuts while the "meat" (pulp) is still in the "bowl." That way when you scoop them out with a spoon placed just inside the peel, the slices are all ready-made and uniformly sized and you don't even need a surface to cut them on. A friend who worked at a deli and would always make my avocado sandwiches taught me to do it that way.
