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.

I once nearly wimped out of a detox diet on the first day because I had to drink a green shake that was avocado based. The whole time I was retching I had to say to myself, "Oh c'mon, you LIKE guacamole!"

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

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'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.

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.

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!

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