Mom waited patiently for them to ripen so that she could mash it up and eat it with sugar.
She said as a child she would eat avocado mashed and sprinkled with sugar for breakfast, or sometimes as a snack.
Well, growing up, I was a picky eater. And though I knew she used to eat avocados this way, I had actually never tried it.
The verdict? it was good, not mountain moving though and I think I would prefer my avocados in savory fashion.
Never tried with sugar. I usually eat avocado with salt, some lemon juice and tomatoes. I love avocado, and could eat it every single day. Besides, avocado is so healthy. I prefer organic avocados from California, but would like to taste Hawaiian avocados. Mmmmm, I bet they are so delicious. Sandy
ReplyDeleteI forgot that we used to eat it like that back in the day. Thanks for the memory!
ReplyDeleteHawaii's avocados are definitely delish, Sandy, mainly because most are tree ripened :)
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome, Jalna :)
Take care you two.

Generally I love living in a cool climate (northwest USA), but whenever I go someplace warm and eat their fresh, local avocados, I start dreaming about how nice it would be to have an avocado tree!
ReplyDeleteMashed avocado and sugar on toast is my favorite way to eat avocado! That's the first way my parents taught me how to eat it!
ReplyDeletethe tree our neighbor has is ginormous Kris, I still can't believe it grew from one seed!
ReplyDeletelucky you Genki :)
Take care you two.

Hi Kat,
ReplyDeleteI enjoy a half avocado with a teaspoon each of shoyu and vinegar. Ono!
As a child I ate avocado with catsup. Still do. Can't bring myself to buy at stores since they were always free. Just like mangos.
ReplyDeletewill have to try that version Anon!
ReplyDeleteI used to eat it with catsup too Anon, but it was because I didn't care for it at the time. I haven't brought myself to buying mangoes in Japan, yet...
Take care you two.
Kat
my friends do it with sugar, but i'm more in the savory camp as well...best with shoyu!! :)
ReplyDeleteI gotta try this shoyu version Kathy :)
ReplyDeleteTake care.

My mom used to serve us halves drizzled with honey. Sweet or savory, I like'em in whatever way.
ReplyDeletedrizzled with honey sounds like a great version Rowena! gotta try!
ReplyDeleteTake care.
Kat
I've always been curious about "sweet" avocado as well, but I think I might stick with the savory for now!
ReplyDeletein due time, K!
ReplyDeleteTake care.
