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?

Actually tried it on toast, wasn't fond of it.
Same with guacamole, just not my thing.
Perhaps in low amounts as secondary ingredient somewhere with lots of strong spices... But what would be the point?

Wife has something similar with raisins, which I totally love.
And I don't like poultry, which she favors, while I like pickled herring that she hates.

So we are in the lucky situation that neither of us needs to live in fear that the respective other may eat his/her favored stuff away. :-)
