Not baiting
In our country we serve it with a shitload of condensed milk or sugar to mask the bitterness
I find it surprising that westerners eat it as a savory food

I don't find it bitter. What country are you from? Maybe they're different in the US?
>>
>>7442978
No, you don't. It takes a Westerner to even want to mask bitterness. Superior food cultures know how to balance it in a complex dish.

Pinoy? Yeah Avocados are amazing in Guac and on a Burger. Sorry but your country's food is objectively horrible.
>>

that avocado needs more aging in the branch. not oily enough.
>>
>>7443036
No more or less valid than your opinions, anon. Calm down.

They need to ripen first faggot.

This. I don't know why non-whites try to engage in discussions with white people online. It's like you try you can hide your race online and speak to us on an even level. You will always be below us no matter if you approach us irl or offline.

eh?
>>
>>7442932
it shouldn't be bitter, if it is it may not be ripe anon. Either that, or your particular strain is just naturally bitter. Normally it's relatively mild tasting, at least the ones that grow in Hawaii are.
>>
I make chocolate pudding or ice cream out of avacados
>>
>>7442932
Not as bitter as eggs though
>>
Add equal parts lemon juice and apple cider vinegar. Some people cut the overly sweet result with a mixture of hops and alum.

It's a piece of fat that fell off a tree and you decided to eat it. Bravo!

Hello again, 1995. Have you heard of this up and coming new band called Radiohead?

Nigga what? Did you eat the peel or something?
They taste sweet like butter. Mash that shit on toast with some salt and pepper. Fucking delicious.
>>

Really, anon?
>>
>>7442932
They aren't bitter at all. Here's a easy recipe for you to try if you don't like it raw.

Get some fresh mozzarella and tomato
dice avocados, tomato, and mozzarella into bowl

pour balsamic vinegar into bowl and toss

enjoy
>>
Has it occurred to you that your perception of taste is... different? Like, really different?
>>
>>7442932
I think "dry" might be a better word. Bad coffee is bitter, stale black tea is bitter.
>>
>>7442932
if this is bitter to you you've never had anything actually bitter

Do you know what types of avocado are available to you? Ex: hass, zutano, fuerte, etc.
>>
>>7442932

Maybe buy one that's actually ripe?

In Michigan we have Hass or Shepard (dark seeds and even darker rinds.) Had no idea this was even a bitter fruit as the ones I've cooked with and eaten (Midwest exclusively seems to have it on the menu) are creamy with a fatty texture generally used to compliment citric tastes. They're unique and exquisite albeit not the type of thing you'd want every day.

They would go in the same category as the mushroom, in my opinion, which is to say objectively delicious.
>>
>>7442932
with salt, just like every other bitter food
>>
>>7442932
that's because you're eating them underripe
>>
>>7442979
IN
>>
>>7442978
Then you're clearly growing them incorrectly

They aren't the slightest bit bitter

I also fucking hate avodaco.

What the hell is the point of it?

I've had it every way you can imagine and it just ruins the whole meal.

Put it in anything and it ruins it.

By itself? sucks.

Fuck avocado.

I'd call you a child but even my 2 year old loves avocado. Maybe you're just so far gone you no longer enjoy healthy food.
>>
I live two miles East of the Avocado Highway in SoCal, and if your Vacs are bitter it's because they aren't ripe yet. Put them in a paper bag for three days until they soften up.
>>
>>7447126
>healthy
let's be real, avocado is delicious but it's basically just vegetable oil in a skin

Those "oils", however, are some of the best heart healthy substances known to man.

I slice it up into cube shapes (slightly mushed is okay). Add a pinch of salt and pepper, and scoop with tortilla chips

southern california native here

avocados are fucking great

if they're properly ripe

unripe avocados are gross. not quite as bad as your usual unripe vegetable, but pretty close

overripe avocados are fucking poison
>>
>>7447214
What is a ripe avocado?
The kind with bumpy green skin?
>>
>>7447523
One that is soft. You can't just go by color, since it differs by variety.
>>
>>7447527
Does it ripen on the branch, or age after it's plucked?
>>
>>7447725
Tre ripened would be best, but avocados do ripen with age. It's not always possible to get them perfectly ripe at the store but if you let them sit on your counter they will ripen.

If you ever want to ripen them quickly, you can stick them in a paper bag with an apple and leave them out on the counter overnight.
Don't leave them too long, or they'll overripen.
>>
It's not "bitter", it's pure fat. You cut it with lime/lemon juice. That being said, I really don't know how the restaurants get it so right because I can never get rid of the overly fatty flavor.
>>
>>7442932
Your mistake was probably buying Chilean avocados. Everything from Chile is shit except 31 Minutos. What you want is avocados either from Mexico or California. Dems good eats.
>>
>>7442932
I have an avocado every morning with my breakfast. I usually add half a roma tomato, some salt and pepper, lemon juice, and garlic powder. Eat that with some celery for crunch or on wheat toast.
>>
>>7442932
NOT NEARLY AS BBITTER AS EGGS AMIRIGHT LMAO GIB KARMA PLZ!!!!!!
>>
>>7447523

It must be soft but the real trick lays on the seed. You see when an avocado is truly ripe the seed gets loose, therefore when you shake it (gently) you should feel/hear the seed moving.

Be careful, avocados get ripe super fast (you could hasten the process by covering it with newspaper).

Overripen avocados aren't good for your stomach, but they work wonders on girls hair.

All of this is done with south american avocados though.

It shouldn't be bitter. But I will often eat it with either smoked turkey/salmon/scrambled eggs

I'll also just slice it into small pieces and put it in a chicken burrito with rice, salsa, bit if sour cream.
