Not my favourite food really - but that matters not a jot! I already have lots of ideas.

I use them in many things from sandwiches to salads to omelettes to avocado toast. I even have a favorite avocado cream pasta sauce. Looking forward to your ideas.

I’ve never eaten or prepared an avocado in any way whatsoever. The most involved I get with them is buying them, then it’s up to MrsT to have at it. I can’t even say what she does with them.

That means this will indeed be a challenge. I have no idea what to do…yet. Avocado soufflé? Avocado au gratin? Avocado pancakes?

I love them, but they are out of season and our fruit & veg is still very seasonal.

I like quacamole, or just avocado with some salt & pepper.
And avocado ritz!

Time to consult with Mrs. T.

I remember you don't like them, but I'd figured you at least tasted one to come to that conclusion. How do you know that you don't like them if you've not eaten one?

I’ve got a bag in my kitchen right now! As a millennial, I am required by law to eat avocado toast. I quite like them, so I’ll be entering this one for sure!

All sound possible to me.

That is quite all right, but it did catch me on surprise, possibly I was under the wrong impression that avocado toast and avocado in salads is a very popular combination in the Us.
I have some trouble finding a good avocado. I tend to pick underripe or off avocados...
School restarts on Sep 9th and with all going on, I have no idea if I can have a go for the challenge...although I'd love to.

My daughter loves guacamole on toast, and does it really well herself.

Slippery to touch for one I expect. I don't like that about them either. I also find the mouthfeel a little too soft, cloying and fatty. Perfect for baby weaning. Sorry. I'm not selling this!

But I can eat them, in particular if they are paired with salty, sharp, acidic or bitter tastes. And some spice...

That is funny

I love them just with a little salt, love the texture just fine.

I like with salt and lime. Hmmmm, sounds like tequila shots. LOL

No, your impression was correct. Many people, especially of younger generations, love avocados and I know my daughters all love avocado spread on toast. They like guacamole with tortilla chips but I suppose they would eat it on toast, too.
