I don't eat them all the time, but ohhhhh are they tasty  :)  I usually only eat them in a salad or when I make a Calif. burrito

Do you like avocados? What do you do with them?  :)

I love avocados - especially as guacamole with shedloads of garlic in.

  Love them!  Avogadro's number of avocados!  Well, not that much.  I like them in sandwiches, salads, guacamole, and Mexican dishes.

Guacamole is heaven.  Especially on my breakfast burritos.

I wouldn't call this love:
1) I go out and buy them when I want to taste their insides
2) I leave them lying prone and helpless until they soften up and their skin changes color
3) I take a dull knife and rip their skins from their flesh
4) I split them in half and discard their hard wood-like hearts
5) I smash them into green paste with a tined instrument
6) I douse them with lime juice (or lemon) to keep their pasty flesh from turning brown
7) I blend salt, spices, and diced vegetables into their remains
8) I spread their prepared flesh on baked or fried crunchy things and stick them in my mouth.
9) While I devour them, I am known to make them watch television sports - including figure skating and luge.

At least, I wouldn't call this love if it wasn't avocado.

You are most welcome, Shan.  About 80% of the avocados you'll find in the stores these days are the Hass variety.  But if you run into the less common varieties, pick a couple up.  They can make big changes in the taste and texture of your dip.

Fun factoid:

In Central America and present-day Mexico, where the avocado is indigenous, they were considered an aphrodisiac.  Indeed, the word "avocado" derive from the Nahuatl (Aztec) word, ahuakatl, which meant "tree testicle."

Must be some lingering resentment from an earlier time?

One of my favorite breakfast post workout foods is avocados and tomatoes with a pinch of kosher salt :-)
