    ( the green skin pear-shaped kind, not the knobbly dark egg-shaped one - yuck)

    No way! Hass 4 lyfe! <3

    I used to HATE avocado which was funny coming from a family of guacamole munchers. Now I lurrrrve it. It's great on toast, with a poached egg and sriracha mmmm. Or by itself with a bit of salt and pepper.

    I also LOVE it on toast with a bit of sweet chilli sauce and maybe some ham too...

    the first I tasted avocado I was NOT a fan and thought it was gross, but I was bound and determined to LIKE it lol, so I kept trying it and now I am in LOVE with it and eat it several times a week, I slice it like a tomato to put on my turkey burgers and make guacamole to dip tortillas in and also put in my salads...it is in acquired taste and I think the texture of it is what grossed me out, it is very smushy and def has a unique taste to it...good luck!!

    MMMMmmmmmmm Avocados, I love them on anything. well almost anything.
    sliced on a BLT, awesome.
    On top of a hamburger, chicken sandwich, excellent
    Guacamole: mash up avocados, dice some white onions (Spanish), add some sea salt, diced tomatoes (fresh), squirt some lemon juice, and squeeze some fresh lime in it. I like to add some decent salsa in it or even some Rotel with green chilies. you can add more or less of all these or even some jalapenos if you like. once all your ingredients are in, mix thoroughly and add a little sour cream to give it some creaminess. I really do not think there is a wrong way to go with guacamole.
    I also like it on sushi rolls.
    on omelets it is amazing.
    I also like them sliced set along side some sliced tomato and salted with coarse sea salt, or kosher salt.
    I have used it to replace lettuce on a sandwich, and even whipped it up to replace the mayo too.
    Enjoy.

    If you end up trying it and absolutely hating it, it's LOVELY mixed with coconut oil and used as a deep conditioning treatment in your hair!

    ah ha ha ha.... that's funny!

    But seriously, my mom introduced it to me when I was little. She would chunk it, and add salt, olive oil and lemon juice. That's my favorite way, but love it as guacamole or in a black bean and corn salsa. I just love it.

    I smoosh them on wholegrain toast and dust with salt and pepper (no need for butter). I sometimes add sliced tomato on top. Makes a really yummy, low calorie, healthy and filling breakfast or lunch.

    ^This^ Yum.

    Really? I'll have to try that. Do you use it routinely as a butter substitute in baked goods? i.e. brownies, cookies, etc.? or just cakes?

    I'm really lazy. I just cut the avacado in half, scoop the nut out, lightly sprinkle it with salt, take a spoon and just start digging straight into it.
