How do you feel about avocados?
 
Well? Like 'em? Don't like 'em? You'll eat them, but only because they are there?

Take the poll. Post a comment. Or not.

I'm OK with guacamole, but I find avocados in their original form too bland and slimy.

I love guacamole. I love avocado on a turkey sammich with sprouts.

I can't stand to eat them in their natural state, unaccompanied by other foods. I agree - too slimy - it's all in the texture.

"dislike" is a rather mild term for the loathing I possess for the things.

I just had a premonition of deja vu ...

I don't actually hate avocados but I don't like them. I want my fruit juicy, sweet, a little tart, but not oily.
Just my take.

The texture of guacamole gets to me sometimes, but I actually like avocado all by itself, sliced and salted. I'd say I'm neutral.

In Chile, an avocado paste called "palta" is pretty much standard on any kind of sandwich you get. Standard hot dog there has only palta and mayo for toppings.

I love them, but somehow when I use them in meals at home they never come out nearly as well as in restaurants. Maybe I'm using subtly underripe ones and I just don't know it, or something.

I've found most guacamole to be fair to gross, but I did have some recently at one place that was awesome. I'd be curious to know what was in that recipe. Avocado slices, etc. are a bit too slimy to me. I wouldn't say I dislike them, but I'll usually pass on them if there is something else.

Avocados are distinctly better when you're sitting near a beach in Mexico.

An Xmas tradition in my wife's family is avocado and pink grapefruit slices served with poppyseed dressing. It's pretty good.

I make a killer guacamole -- sheet loads of garlic and lime juice ++hot sauce!

Only time I was ever grossed out by an avocado was when I stopped at a fruit stand and the proprietor was eating a halved avo with the pit hole filled with mayo - she was eating it with a spoon. Sooooo gross :yelsick:

I'm not a huge fan of plain avocados, but I like guacamole.

glatt 11-16-2007 02:37 PM

I have to admit, I'm a little surprised at how this poll is shaping up. I thought there would be more haters.
