Hi Steve,

Yes, they can be soft like ice-cream, particularly when they're ripe - when they're less ripe they are harder.

What did you think of it?

did,nt teast of anythink thought there was somethink wrong with it when i picked it up with fingers it felt like soap

It can definitely feel like that, so I would say it was fine! Sorry you didn't really like it though! I usually have mine with something - like smoked salmon in a sandwich, or make it into guacamole - doing those things gives it more flavour I think.

Does that mean it's off your menu now? Or are you going to try it again? At least you gave it a go.

did,nt say i did,nt like it just no flavor i,ll get a harder one next time so i can slice it up and try it with somethink

Yeah, you're right, you didn't say you didn't like it, and I'm glad that you're going to try a harder one next time, as hopefully you'll enjoy it sliced with something else.

I just love guacamole, you could try making your own? Just add some lime juice, tomatoes and a little chilli to your avocado and whiz in a food processor until smooth. If you ever have an avocado that's too soft again, that's what I'd suggest doing.

I'm a bit like you with avocado - I don't dislike it, but the texture is a bit weird, especially when super-ripe.

I love avocado. Its so versatile. When they are soft you make a spread and use it instead of butter. Firm ones you eat like a pear, when they are in the middle they are perfect for salsas. Never tried to cook one but I would imagine the hard ones would warm nicely, hmm avocado with bacon. I might have to try it.

I bought some to make guacamole with but didn't get round to it so I had mine spread on a sandwich with goats cheese and lettuce, yum. It is a bit like marmite though, in that you love it or hate it...
