Avocado!!!

[Passinwind]

I grew up on an avocado orchard. So naturally, I can't stand it

I have a friend who lived on Maui who was the same way -- couldn't stand 'cadors, limes, or bananas because they were all over his property.

We do not use sour cream in ours.

Here's a tip:

If the avocado is not soft, almost mushy, to touch, DO NOT waste it by cutting it open. It won't ripen any further!

Yes, I agree

My buddy from California used to call pineapple "the avocado of Hawaii" because he never liked it either until we lived on Oahu.

I use yogurt, creme fraiche, sour cream, buttermilk, or none of the above, depending on what's handy. My wife sometimes makes all of those with locally bought unprocessed milk, FWIW.

We've been substituting Greek yogurt in place of sour cream lately.

As for avocados, I eat some daily. Tasty, healthy, and in southern California they're available year round.

Lots of good healthy avocado eating tips, but I love guac with sour cream. Fat makes food taste good.

I don't eat it often so I'm not overly concerned.

Avocado is definitely something I associate with Southern California.

Love 'em. I'll cut one open, remove the pit, and squeeze a lemon or lime to fill the void and eat it out of the skin. I tried something I saw online not too long that was delicious: cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, then crack an egg in the void of each half, then season (just salt and pepper for me), then bake until the egg is done to your preferred hardness. Awesome.

Avocados contain fat, albeit "good" fat.

Exactly. Its an extremely fatty food without needing to add dairy fat.

I agree. I don't need bacon with my eggs, but bacon is really good. Everything in moderation.

I'm gonna try that. What temperature do you bake it?

I buy sushi paper and cut vegatables and avocado into them to make "rolls". Delicious and super healthy.

It's good if you sprinkle with a bit of cheese and/or lemon too.
