Yes it was Chris in my Clubhouse pizza post , he showed a pizza he had done Mexican style before.

There put that in your guaca, lol

Read you thread but decided to let others post before adding my thoughts.
Avocado is OK. Agree with @tallbm that it is best used as a compliment with other dishes. If you decide the flavor and texture (texture is a biggie for me) then the other suggestions may pan out.
For me, I mostly scoop the excess and give to my wife.

Best Avocado in the world

Now that is stuck in my head for the day.

I like it on quesadillas. This was from tonight.

Guacamole and...

LOL, aka I was referring to making into a "zombie" target, if you add a tomato or two with it then you get red and green confirmation of a hit target.

I can only do avocado on guacamole dip and sushi, any other form its a no go for me.....

Thanks for the clarification Civil. My first thought was that it was some kind of military special forces type of black powder to incinerate the enemies.

Nato version of the domestic 2.43 seasoning . They eat the same .

I was a no go on the guac too . My Sons been making it and it's killer . He does it all in a mortar and pestle . He nagged me until I tried it , it was really good . Probably because it didn't taste like avocado .

Appreciate it Rich, I want to stick to something straight forward and simple. No one in my family eats avocado that I know of.

I just love haas avocados, the Florida avocados are not as good. My favorite way is to half them, remove the pit, and fill the hole with Kraft tangy bacon Catalina dressing. I could eat those all day long! Might have to refill the hole a couple of times, that dressing is just perfect for avocados.

I like that sound of that dressing Al. I'll look for it next time I'm in the grocer.

I will have too find that dressing, I like the regular Catalina so bacon can only make it better.

Same here Cliff

Oops. My bad, Chris. Poor clarity on my part.

The annual fee the group paid him basically meant they owned the trees for the year, including the harvest. Since he had zero interest in the trees, the fee, which was low 5 figures, was just fun money to him. He was happy not to have the water bill or a thirty-tree orchard full of rotting fruit. Win-win for all involved...except me and my access to free avocados.

Ray

Now that sounds like a sweet heart deal. Good for you friend Ray

Having some raw on a salad or toast is number 1for you to try. They are magnificent on a nice grilled chicken sandwich or even a chicken salad sandwich.

I'm leaning towards putting half on a chicken tako as previously menttioned, and trying the other half striaght up Jeff.

I've read that you can store them underwater to eliminate the browning. I've not tried it as usually I consume it all

Sort of the Jacque Cousteau effect.

That looks real good Robert. Next time I make the Mexican pizza I may toss an Avocado on it.

I love it. All it's missing is a good Van Halen riff.

Was there a final verdict? Did I miss it?

Damn I thought this thread would have been forgotten by now. I should have known better. Well it was totally disgusting. After waiting for what seemed like forever for it to ripen. I finally sliced into it, and gave it a try. I basically spit it out almost immediately. Bland with a poor mouth feel. Kind of like mushy mushrooms. If I were ever stranded on a desert island with only avocados to eat. I think I'd starve to death. For you avocado lovers out there. I can safely say your stash is safe with me.

[fxsales1959]

My wife eats them. Me, not so much

 

[SmokinEdge]

That’s funny Chris. Lol to bad you didn’t like them. Was worth the try.

Yeah I could see that happening for you. It would be kinda like finding butter for the 1st time and cutting a cube and biting into it lol.

For a long portion of my life I thought guacamole sucked, but that was because people didn't know what they were doing. Then I tasted a great one and was like WOW, what the heck was everyone else doing to it!? :D

Good on you for adventuring out to something else. We don't know things until we push ourselves a little to experience new things :D

I guess I'm pretty lucky. Neither my wife or I like it.

Mom always told me to at least try something once before you decide if you like it or not. I tried, but I couldn't like it.

Finding a good guacamole in the North East is like finding a specific grain of sand in the Atlantic. It's just not gonna happen.

I was brought up to at least try something once before making a decision if I like it or not. Most things I'll give at least two tries. Guac may be the exception.

Oh My God , Chris . This again LOL
Just get one of those terrible green things and enjoy it ,

It wasn't me blame @SmokinEdge. I was hoping this one was buried forever.

Or at least another 5 - 10 years. lol

[SmokinEdge]

C’mon Chris,,,,,,, I had to know. I really was hoping for better results but the truth is what it is. Never know until you try. So far I have mushrooms and avocado as a big NO for you, that’s useful information. Both of which I love btw, so there you go. I think we are bonding.
