Personally, I hate avocado in all its forms (guacamole, etc.). I don't understand what people see, err, taste in them.
My wife, OTOH, loves avocados (I had never tried avocado before she forced me to sample one while we were dating, which I ineptly pretended to sort of not hate), and if I forget to buy several when I do the shopping, I'll find myself trying to make up a story on the spot about how all the avocados at the grocery store were rotten, or they were out. And then she gives me that "I'm not buying it" look, sighs, rolls her eyes and stops speaking to me for a whole five minutes.
EDIT: Ok... Wow, you know this was an attempt at humor, so some of the details may have been embellished a bit. I'll just back away from this thread slowly.
- AznHisoka 9y agoI feel they ruin the taste of sushi as well. I wanna taste the raw fish not the avocado.
- simonsarris 9y agoThis is a strange way to be mean to your wife? I don't get it. EDIT: sorry! Somehow missed the "forget" part of the sentence. I don't eat fruit, I don't like the taste. When I see dried mangoes, I buy them for my girlfriend because she loves them.
- PacifyFish 9y agoHe forgot to buy them. He's not being mean, he's being human.
- pdonis 9y agoForgetting to buy them, yes, that's human. Trying to cover up instead of just saying "Sorry, honey, I forgot", that's at least tending toward mean.
- khedoros1 9y agoPeople sometimes get unreasonable about the things that they love. I just assumed that he was attempting to deflect her potentially unreasonable reaction.

- jcadam 9y agoNo malice is intended when I forget the avocados. I just forget them. And then I feel bad.
- mlevental 9y ago>I don't eat fruit, I don't like the taste. you can't be serious. you don't like any kind of fruit?
- rexpop 9y agoThis person habitually attempts to deceive their wife, and from their own account describes her feeling antagonized. I don't think they are "forgetting avocados" so much as they are bullying their partner with plausibly deniable emotional abuse.
- yetanother1980 9y agoHis wife forces him to be silent - which is actual abusive behaviour.
- rosser 9y ago"stops speaking to me for a whole five minutes" != "forces him to be silent" There is no abuse in this anecdote, either way. There's some passive-aggressiveness, and some dismissal, but neither quite rises to the level of abuse.
- yetanother1980 9y agoOops I miss-read that. I do find the fact that people are accusing him of abusive behaviour here pretty scarey though.

- optymizer 9y agoI like avocados because they have a creamy and nutty flavor. They taste a little like green walnuts - not the dried ones from the store, but the raw walnuts from walnut trees. They get your fingers all dark brown when you try to peel the skin and they're delicious. Also, I wasn't much of a fan of guac until we learnt how to make it at home 2 years ago. Since then we have guac at least twice a week. I still have some left in the fridge. You know what eating chocolate feels like, right? That's the feeling I have when I eat homemade guacamole.
- bfuller 9y agoYou have leftover guac? That is some extreme self control.
- pitaj 9y agoHomemade guac is the only guac worth eating. It's totally different from store-bought.

- madeofpalk 9y agoThe concept of store-bought avocado products that isnt just fresh avocado is disgusting to me.
- mistermann 9y agoMan those sound good, do you think they ever sell them seasonally in stores?
- optymizer 9y agoI have not seen those in stores in the US yet.
- twothamendment 9y agoYou save money and enjoy 5 minutes of silence? You are on to something. I agree, everyone else can have my share of them.
- kaybe 9y agoHave you ruled out that you just got a bad one that first try? They do taste differently, and some are not that good.
