You seem to be expecting a sweet fruit. It isn’t that. It’s fatty and savory. Your post reads like “Fruit is really expensive in my area so I started buying butter… why does anyone like this stuff?”

Spread it on bread and sprinkle on some taco seasoning and salt. You’ll thank me.

Try having one with some marmite

I used to think I hated it as I only encountered it in guacomoli that always had cilantro. Finally had it on its own and realized I lover it. And yeah its basically has a buttery texture but with its own flavor that pretty much goes with any savory dish. Its main problem is the same as bananas. Unripe is no good and it has a short ripe window before it becomes overripe and you have to use it in the window. Man I would love bananas and avocado that could be held and used like potatoes. Similar to avocado I would put bananas on pretty much anything sweet.

Where I live, we put sugar on it.

Try salt and lime/lemon or try putting it on bread with some type of meat.

“Salt. I hear so much about salt. I tried a heaping spoonful and it was nasty. What am I doing wrong?”

Same energy, my friend. This is why cooking is such an amazing skill. You can take 10 things that aren’t particularly tasty, and create something amazing.

are you not even putting salt and pepper on it?

Cause thats the most barebones way to eat it… Its okay just by itself, but it really needs at least salt and pepper, if its not part of a larger recipe or something.

You don’t like butter block?

Avocados aren’t really supposed to be sweet. More like savory, with that buttery texture. They’re really good on toast, no matter what the boomers say.

Others have made some good suggestions. Salt, pepper, chili sauce or sriracha. A fried egg if you want it. Top notch.

Fwiw, I’m latina and generally not a big fan of them. Growing up, my dad ate at least one a day. It’s a huge thing in Hispanic households. They’re too bland

Without getting too foodie about it. Its blandness is its strength, it adds moisture and a creamy texture to foods, especially salads sandwiches and tacos without using unnecessary oil or animal fats and it counts as a fruit/vegetable in your diet.

I love raw plain avocado but most people don’t and wouldn’t eat it like that

People like it because it has a creamy, refreshing texture, and a subtle flavour. Try toasting a slice of sourdough bread and smearing avocado on it. Top with sesame seeds if you can get them, and salt and pepper. Or you can try it on things, like people have it with chilli (not the peppers, the Mexican dish). Avocado with white rice is also nice. Mix smashed avocado with lemon juice to make it taste better.

Little bit of salt and a squeeze of lime, maybe some cilantro, and you can put that shit on most anything!

It’s savory, not sweet. Some salt does wonders, tabasco is nice too :)

IMO it’s natural mayo: add bit of freshly cracked pepper and salt. If you can handle the spice: paprika or chilli pepper
