I love avocado but apart from eating it raw or filling it into my sandwiches, I don't know what else to do with them, help!

You are the same as me, I love scooping them out with a spoon and sitting there munching on them, they taste divine! I also put slices into my sandwiches, and I also cut them up in strips and have them in my salad. Other than that and of course making your own guacamole, I have no idea what to do with them... I don't think that they are really supposed to be cooked, so I guess other than using them as above I really don't know... hopefully someone here will be able to give you some more idea's.

At least I'm not on my own with this! I find the flesh degrades vry quickly as well, as soon as I have sliced them open, within half an hour theys start to show those horrible dark brown specks, and they spread until you get a completely spoiled avocado... :(

Oh I know there is nothing worse than brown avocado. I know that if you squeeze lemon juice on it, it stops them from going like that, although I have never done this, because I eat them as soon as I slice them open.

Really? I'll have to try this, do you just squeeze the juice over it? Or soak the whole thing in it? Will let you know what happens once I've tried it, although I have no avocados in the fridge right now!

You can try making a shake or smoothie or blended drink or whatever you may call it. You just need some ice, vanilla, milk and sugar. Great way to beat the heat. Plus it tastes really good.

That sounds a good idea... I imagine with the creaminess of the avocado it would be a lovely smooth texture in a smoothie or something similar! May have to try this myself!
