When they're perfect the texture is excellent. I mean it's like banana people like them at different stages of ripeness, I guess. I love an Avo on toast, poached egg on top, sprinkling of chilli flakes, or black pepper or even lime juice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious if they're smashed purely because they are smashed up just on their own and mashed potatoes involve milk and butter? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must not have tried the real stuff. I don't like plain avocado, either, but I love me some guac. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to Mexico or even New Mexico in the US and avocados are one of the most buttery delicious almost bacon flavored succulent textured perfect little joy balls you can get in your mouth (KW plz.) Also mash them up with garlic a little onion and diced tomato into guac and once again they transformed into a side dish/dip/sauce/flavoring as ubiquitous as ketchup and curry sauce in England. Sadly, all they get in England are evil, flavorless little cannon balls of doom. So until Mike comes and stays over in the West of the US he isn't going to change his mind But at least now he has 2 places near great fruit and veg he can crash! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't matter what you added to it tbh, I just don't like it, it's not even the taste of it, it's the texture. but there's also something in it that makes me think of eating soap.

Agreed, avocados need at least a generous amount of salt to be tasty. 5 hours ago, TheAuthority said: Yeah @mjmooney and I have touched this subject before.

How To Make Authentic Guacamole Quote Turns out, authentic guacamole doesn't have garlic. Although this maniac uses lemon even though he concedes that lime is more traditional. When I was in Mexico I never even saw a lemon and the Spanish word for it meant lime there. Edited September 22, 2022 by fightoffyour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanAVFC Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Red onion, lime, coriander, tomato and chilli is the only answer. With salt and pepper of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really glad I landed on the right side of that line, but I can completely understand why people don't like it. It's very strong. The weird thing is coriander seed is completely different and from a culinary/cooking POV, entirely unrelated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how anyone could not like Avocado flavour. It's not particularly strong or amazing, but there's absolutely nothing offensive about it.
