Reply #24: My thoughts after eating it, for anyone interested.... [View All]

Last night when I got home from work the avocado felt perfectly soft and the pit had stopped making the rattlin' noise, so I made some guacamole. I can't say I was very impressed. The flesh consistency was good, the color was excellent, and one of these avocados made as much guac as two Haas. However, the guac ended up tasting very bland.

For the record, my guac recipe is:

avocado (usually 2 Haas)
juice from 1 lime
a 1/2 tablespoon garlic
1 cherry tomato chopped (my SO has tomato issues, or there would be more tomato)
1 or 1-1/2 tablespoons diced onion
a sprinkling of cilantro

This is a foolproof recipe for our tastes, but it failed us with this new kind of avocado. We used an extra lime to try and spice it up, but it just didn't do any good. It was still bland, and the extra lime juice only served to make it kind of slimy. :(

So I guess it's Haas for me from now on. Thanks for all you help and suggestions! :hi:
