Do You Like Avocados?

[RandyC]

Not a big fan of avocado but I love avocado chocolate mousse. I had it last night for desert at one of my favorite restaurants. While it doesn't taste exactly like real chocolate mousse (the consistency is somewhere between pudding and mousse), its delicious and I defy anyone to be able to identify it as containing avocado.

am just this very moment eating healthy toast with an avocado (very lightly mashed)/cilantro/lime/salt topping.....with turkey bacon and scrambled egg whites mixed with onion, tomato, bell pepper, feta, and dill, it makes a very healthy meal (fats, protein, carbs)......hitting the gym in a bit!.......

I was offered this once in a restaurant. I thought it sounded like a very weird combination, but it turned out to be delicious!

I love both, sliced avocado with a squeeze of lime, some salt and pepper, is my idea of a treat. (But yes, not a mushy one.)

Love avas! Love them in guac, salad, civeche and by itself with a lil salt and pepper and Italian dressing. The idea of watermelon and ava sounds good. Maybe do a mint, ava, watermelon and cheese combo? Mmmmm And that ava ice cream has been on my list to make and try for a while.

Avocado sliced lengthwise is the best.

Joy Behar hospitalized after avocado accident

 

On Tuesday’s episode of “The View,” co-host Joy Behar revealed she had to miss work Monday because she’d sliced open her hand cutting an avocado.

 

“Saturday night, on my way to the event at the retreat, I stabbed myself in the hand with a knife,” she explained. “I was trying to desperately eat something, so I was trying to open an avocado. So I stuck the knife into the pit to get it out … and I stabbed myself!”

 

At the hospital, where the 75-year-old stayed overnight and was administered an antibacterial drip to ward off infection, Behar was told that this sort of accident happens all the time.

 

“Apparently there is a syndrome called avocado hand,” she said. “It’s real! The doctor said, ‘We get this all the time.’ And bagels also. Any time you’re holding the item, and you cut it, you can get this.”

 

Despite the pain she was in, Behar still had a sense of humor about the ordeal, even after her fellow panelists gave her a safety glove and an avocado slicer.

 

“I’ll leave the dicing to Rachael Ray and only buy ready-made guacamole. That’s it!” she joked.

 

Sounds like a solid plan.

Most avocados are now imported from Mexico. Recently there has a been a shortage as many of the Mexican farmers are being blackmailed by cartel members.

Solution? Undocumented avocados!

[marylander1940]

Pass for me; I don't like avocados or guacamole. Both the look and the taste are a yuck for me!

 

Love them, just like 90% of folks I guess.

[gallahadesquire]

Avocado, not so much, but I like guacamole.

Unripe avocados can be cooked. They lack some of the flavour of raw ones so light frying works best as you can infuse them with taste, eg chilli or curry spices (though not all-out curry flavour, I think).

Here on the shores of the Rio Grand, avocados together with limes cilantro and various chilies are staples of our diet. As for artichokes, too much work too little reward.

Haven’t seen it on our Panda Express. Two other Asian restaurants are off limits: too salty. I’ve seen these drinks at the places along BelleAire Ave. in Houston and enjoyed them in Kuala Lumpur. But I’ve never seen an avocado version.

Get ready to guac out, avocado fans.

 

People who sign up for a weight loss study looking at avocado consumption can get paid for their efforts, Loma Linda University announced.

 

“The study will examine whether eating one avocado per day reduces visceral adipose fat in the abdomen,” Joan Sabaté, MD, PhD, said in an online statement Tuesday.

 

The school laid out certain requirements for the project, including: men and women signing up must have waist measurements of 40 and 35 inches or more, respectively — and all subjects have to be at least 25 years old.

 

They also mentioned another — crucial — stipulation.

 

“Be willing to either eat one avocado per day for six months or eat only two avocados per month for the same period,” the school said.

 

Loma Linda University also explained how the study will work.

 

“The test group will be given 16 avocados every two weeks and required to eat one avocado per day throughout the six-month study,” it said. “The control group will be required to eat no more than two avocados per month during the same period.”

 

Everyone who signs up will get a free MRI and health screening and should meet monthly with a dietician, the school said.

 

“Upon successful completion of the study, participants in both groups will be paid $300 each, and members of the control group will be given 24 avocados to enjoy,” it adds.

 

Loma Linda isn’t the only school that will get people to join.

 

Tufts University, the University of California, Los Angeles, and Penn State University will also sign up 250 people a pop.

[Epigonos]

Damn I would love to be a part of the study if I could be in the avocado a day group. I'm even in the right location as Loma Linda University isn't that far from me. Major problem - even though I'd love to lose and inch or two from my waist which is currently 34" I'm not about to add an additional 6" in order to be a part.
