@DaddyEvil I've never had guacamole and wouldn't eat it if it was made with onions.

We love avocados and always have them on hand! I love guacamole . . . but I can eat them plain too. Yah, overripe is too mushy and gets kinda bitter with the woody strings.

@LindaOHio It is so good and easy to make. Or the easy way is to order it from a restaurant too (but we like homemade better).

@LindaOHio I never had guacamole either, and honestly, just never wanted to try it. It doesn't look appetizing in the pictures I have seen of it.

I love avocado and when I get them I search for those that are organic and grown in the USA. The reason for wanting USA grown avocado is because customs will spray insecticides on any produce that goes through them and that's something I don't want on my food.

Yes, I am allergic to insecticides and herbicides which is why I only buy organic.

You have to be so careful with all the insecticides in use.

@DaddyEvil when and why did you taste grease ?

Yeah, avocado tastes like grease to me unless it's made into guacamole, first. That's why I don't like it, normally.

I love avocados and get them as often as I can depending on the price per avocado. I eat them plain, with salsa, and in salads,

@Marty1 the season for avocados is from May to October. They name my store Walmart as one of the best places for avocados when you can get them,

@RasmaSandra I have heard they are expensive. Do they have a time when they are in season and you can get them at a better price?

They are a good source of calories for you plus all the other advantages.

I like avocadoes but don't have them very often. They are quite expensive here. There are dozens of avocado orchards being planted in the area of our old home. They are predicting there will be glut of them in a few years when they are all fruiting.

@judyev If they grow so many avocadoes, will you be able to get them cheaper?

@Marty1 We should be able to but sometimes it doesn't seem to work out that way. Maybe they will export a lot more and we'll still have to pay as much as now.

I'm not a fan of avocados. They make a good ingredient for body wash or soap! I don't like the texture or taste of it, and I think smashed avocado looks like vomit and doesn't taste much better! It's one of the few fruits I don't like.

I think they're kind of bland, although I only had a properly ripe one once in my life.

@LindaOHio Aren't avocadoes fruit? I thought all fruit was low in calories. I never tasted them and really have no desire.

@Marty1 Not all fruit is low in calories...there's a lot of sugar in some. An avocado has 500 calories in it.

I like avocados, I add them to shrimps salads, I like to make a guacamole and I like to serve sliced with smoked salmon, but also with canned tuna. The best I buy here comes from Peru. I dislike heated or cooked.

I love avocados, but they're really expensive here. Dale bought a jar of avocado dip, but it was too spicy even for me. But I added some sour cream to it and it's yummy with Fritos.

I love guacamole, as long as it is not made with any hot peppers! Just peel and slice up a nice ripe avocado, delicious on a tossed salad or even just plain with a bit of salt. Also, really good on a turkey sandwich and even better on a BLT.

Oh yes. I made many things with avocados, however, when I found out one contains 500 calories I had to back off because I was on a 1200 calorie diet. I love them.

I used to refuse avocado in any form as a child. Growing up, I was served avocado in bagel with smoke salmon (with a sprinkle of pepper and salt), and it was so yummy!
