Avocado. I heard much about these fruits/berries/whatever. But I am a poor guy from a very poor and totally non-tropical country. So apples and carrots are the sweetest things around and apples become too expensive too.

Still I bought a few. Just out of curiosity. It tastes like… butter block. Internet says that it should be this way. So… Why people eat it? Maybe it is bad alone and\or raw, but after some preparation it is delicious?

Am I missing something?

    They are really hard to find ripe. They don’t ripen until picked - but unfortunatly there is at best one day between ripe and rotten. That is at best, if they bruise at all while handling they will got rotten fast.

    Not really worth buying if you don’t live where they grow - about half of the ones I buy are rotten before we can eat them - and I pay 5 times the cost as they go for in a tropical location.
