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?

For everyone who cant understand the hype of eating avocado as anything other than a spread, I recommend splitting it in half and squeezing half a lemon on each avocado half (it collects in the hole where the pit was), then eating with a teaspoon. Here in Cyprus we are often teased (and we do a fair bit of self deprecating jokes about this) that we put lemon on everything, but I think it genuinely works with avocado, and its a great little snack.
