I wish I liked avocado :(
I try it again almost every year, and it still tastes weird to me. I've tried it as guac, on toast, in salads.. It's both the flavor and the texture that bothers me.
Do you guys have any suggestions on how to trick myself into enjoying it? I think if I can find one way I like it, I might acquire the taste for it altogether.

you need to be a millennial to enjoy avocado

I know, it's just a bummer. Friends will talk about how good a restaurant's guac is, or i'll order tacos & my favorite place puts guac on carne asada tacos as the standard order, and they fuck it up alllll the time when I ask for no guac, so i'll be left with a to-go box full of guac-covered tacos that won't be eaten. I know I could ask them to make it again, but that doesn't make it any less wasteful.

plain by themselves avocados don't particularly taste good. but when mixed with other things it actually taste pretty good, especially with salt to reduce any bitter qualities.

but also if you don't like something then you don't like it move on.

Never had it with sugar. Worth a shot. I can handle sweeter things with a creamier texture a lot better than savory.

Unless you have to eat it there’s no point in trying to like it op. They’re great chopped up in a Greek salad tho, maybe try that

Avocado is a fruit with notes of butter, bacon fat, and fresh crisp water. None of that is weird. The texture is as of butter or pate. Nothing weird about that. It's your brain's failure to immediately identify this as desirable that's weird.

some people taste things differently like people that say cilantro taste like dish soap.

if you don't like move on.

I've tried fish in many different ways and none of it has ever tasted good, so I stopped trying.

your smoking crack I love bacon fat and there is nothing bacon tasting at all about avacado.

no butter taste whatsoever and "fresh crisp water"? fuck off.

get squishy avocados that aren't hard and easy to cut
slice it onto toast, or mash it up, add lime/salt, make some gordon ramsay scrambled eggs, and put both of those on the toast.
i eat it with almost everything i think. when i order pizza i put it on the pizza. when i turned some of my basil plant into pesto pasta i put it on that. it's not as inviting eating it by itself, but over time i started doing it more if its ripe at least.

alternatively you could try going to a hipster restaurant and getting avocado toast, theyll probably have fancy salmon/tomato/sauce and poppy seeds
