"Since they became fashionable there has been a huge rise in Avocado related accidents, apparently!
What does an avocado related accident look like?  "

I love them mashed up with chilli, avocado, lime, red onion and coriander, on sourdough toast and crispy bacon. However, I still bear the scar from an incident of 'avocado hand' when I stuck a ten inch knife through my palm necessitating a trip to A&E. Lesson learnt re: removing stone with a spoon in future  |

"I'm actually disappointed in this thread CJ.
Clicked on it, expecting your usual random multi-sentanced post, but no. A 2 line question 
"
I know, it doesn’t live up to the title, I was going to do my usual schtick, you know the thing. Avocados were first invented by Sir Robert Avocado in 1982 when he crossed a butternut squash with a cucumber, cause he wanted a fruit with a toy inside. What’s your views on them, apparently the health benefits are amazing. Have you tried one, or do you know anyone who’s tried one, have you seen one in public, are organic better if so why. Why is it always the same toy inside, why don’t they mix it up a bit ?!
But I figured people are tired of that shit, so I gave up! |

Yes us black folks have been eating them for years 
Trouble is the ones they sell you now in Sainsburys et al are generally rock hard, unripe and never going to ripen . God knows what they do to them but no wonder people truing them for the first time don't like them.
A ripe avo is delicious

Very nice with Cajun-spiced salmon and salad, or with chargrilled chicken in a wrap.
Also great used with lots of basil, some garlic, chillies, Pecorino cheese, lemon juice, salt and pepper to make a pesto. |

Or grilled halloumi, avocado and hummus in a wrap |

Love avocados although buying avocados in the UK is just like playing Russian roulette: not ripe enough, too ripe... but when you get a good one, it's like winning the lottery. I lead such an exciting life |

And in lockdown when you can't squeeze them! I gave up for the duration |

I grew up in South Africa with several large Avo trees.... Gorged myself on them almost every day for about 8 months of year. All the animals loved them, even the dogs and cats would eat them.
Luckily we had the lemon and lime trees to go with them too. |

They are meant to be good kind of fat. I wish I was made of avocado pulp. Pit(y) included.
