Question of the Day: Fresh avocado, share your love

Posted by winny, May 22, 2007

I find it weird that there are people who hate avocado even when it's perfectly ripe with its smooth, buttery, creamy texture. I always eat it as naked as possible. Forget avocado mousse cake, ever since I was a kid, my favorite has always been fresh avocado sprinkled with coffee powder and granulated sugar. Avocado smoothies with milk and chocolate condensed milk are very popular here but I prefer mine un mushed (it's the oral aggression thing).

It's very interesting how people from different cultures prepare their avocados. A foreign friend of mine were shocked that Indonesians mainly use it for sweet stuffs, especially in cold dessert while my family were disgusted by guacamole (it's spicy avocado!). I always hate those insipid prawn cocktail with avocado and bland thousand island dressing and I find the basic olive oil+balsamic is rather blah.. Sweet, naked avocado is for me.

So, how do you have yours?
