At least in the Americas, you don’t buy avocado for sweetness. It’s basically a replacement for fat (with fats of its own). Think turkey bacon avocado, for example: turkey is a leaner meat, avocado supplements that, and bacon adds flavor and saltiness.

If you must get something sweet out of it, I’ve had good luck mixing it with a sprinkle of sugar, a splash of lime juice, and a little hot sauce if you want to be frisky.

Latino here, surprised how somebody would not like avocado while i eat some fried flautas with fresh cheese, cream and avocado on top; My family rarely eats avocado alone; We add it to a soup to give it a fresh taste. mash it; put peppers cilantro, olive oil, onions and a pinch of salt and lime juice to make guacamole; add it to tuna salad, in fact we add it to everything with fish on it; including ceviche, fried fish tacos and tostadas. Some soups and stews can taste great with a few slices of avocado, like tortilla soup, bone marrow soup and caldo tlalpeño.

You can mix it with dried bacon or cream cheese and make a great dip for potato chips.

Smoked mussles + mashed avocados + onions, tomatoes and lime juice, to snack with with tortilla chips.

Avocado is inexpensive where i live so it’s a common ingredient for most recipes, as a fresh buttery flavor to add with some lime and salt to compliment something spicy. It tends to neutralize spicy flavors, so it’s also something nice to add in particularly “hot” food for someone new to those type of flavors.

I think some people genuinely like the taste, but I’m with you - they just taste kind of ‘meh’. Certainly not as nice as most other things.

They are extremely healthy, though - they’re considered a top-tier superfood.

Seems like you’re missing the part of the internet with, like, recipes. How did you manage to get here, without looking up Avocado on or as food?

Avcados need salt and acid to be good. Next time try in a salad with a sharp dressing; or just cubed with lime juice, chili powder, and salt. It’s amazing added to a bowl (but not the pot!) of chicken soup.

Without getting too foodie about it. Its blandness is its strength, it adds moisture and a creamy texture to foods, especially salads sandwiches and tacos without using unnecessary oil or animal fats and it counts as a fruit/vegetable in your diet.

The quality can vary by the avocado. If it is slightly stringy, brown or metallic, the fruit is bad. Even a good avocado still has a mild flavor. I think that avocado is good with salt, cumin, tomato salsa, or garlic powder. In some recipes, people add cilantro or lime juice, too.

Avocados are good for sandwiches, but you can also make guacamole dip with them. The guacamole pairs with chips. I don’t think people eat avocados on their own very much.

You can eat avocados with salt and lemon. Also, look up the recipe for guacamole.

Tortillas and tacos are super easy to make yourself. They are actually poor people food. They taste very good with guacamole.

It seems you’re expecting it to act as a fruit. Avocados are used as gourmet ingredients in the west. If you want a sweeter application of it, look up southeast asian desserts made from avocado. It’s usually combined with milk, sugar, and sometimes ice to make it cold and refreshing.

Weird Asian hack for ya, Avo + soy sauce on rice is weirdly very good. Wife does that sometimes, sometimes with other stuff like natto.

Little bit of salt and a squeeze of lime, maybe some cilantro, and you can put that shit on most anything!

You seem to be expecting a sweet fruit. It isn’t that. It’s fatty and savory. Your post reads like “Fruit is really expensive in my area so I started buying butter… why does anyone like this stuff?”

Spread it on bread and sprinkle on some taco seasoning and salt. You’ll thank me.

It’s OK to not like stuff that everyone else likes. It happens.

It does taste like a block of earthy butter. It’s absolutely delicious on its own. Even more delicious if cut into thin slices; that somehow intensifies the flavour.

It sounds like you’re just not into that flavour. It’s not for everyone.

It’s savory, not sweet. Some salt does wonders, tabasco is nice too :)
