Help me prepare my first avacado.

THE REVIEW

1) Sandwich - Wonderful. The avacado acted both as a moistening condiment and a great flavor addition. It sure does make it big and dense too.

2) Chopped with lemon, S&P - This seamed to be the correct "keep it simple" way to eat avacado, not as an ingredient of a larger dish. The lemon added a perfect brightness to the flavor.

3) Plain, Chopped with soy sauce - This seamed a little salty to me. The flavor was definitely good, but I think the saltyness was a little overpowering for the delicate, mild, flavor of the flesh. It may be my own fault as I drizzled the soy on instead of going for a more controlled dip, where I could have been more careful with the amount of soy going onto each bite.

4) Plain, Chopped with worcestershire sauce - There was something missing here. I like the smokyish taste of worcesterhire, but it didn't seam to meld just right with the avacado IMO. It wasn't terrible by any means. It just was lacking something.

5) Guac - Delicious. I'll be making this often. Once I started scooping with the chips, I had to pull myself away from it to continue with the others. The lemon, tomato, onion and garlic is a supreme combo with the avacado, making a great dip.

6) Sour Cream - Loved it. I liked it more with the lemon doused rather than the plain. It presented multiple layers of mellow and sharp sourness, & multiple layers of mellow and sharp creamyiness. Awesome.

7) Plain with & without Salt - Another poster said sometime you need some salt and sometimes you don't, depending on the particular fruit. I can see this being the case. I will say that the avacado is delicious on its own, but I can understand how some could be a little bland and need a little sprucing up because of the overall mildness of the flavor.


A big thanks to OOT for hookin' me up with some great ideas for my first avacado experience.
