Avocado. Is it really so untasty or I am doing something wrong?
Avocado. I heard much about these fruits/berries/whatever. But I am a poor guy from a very poor and totally non-tropical country. So apples and carrots are the sweetest things around and apples become too expensive too.
Still I bought a few. Just out of curiosity. It tastes like… butter block. Internet says that it should be this way. So… Why people eat it? Maybe it is bad alone and\or raw, but after some preparation it is delicious?
Am I missing something?
I remember, years back, talking to some French guy who went to an American store in France with his girlfriend and tried Pop-Tarts, as he’d heard that a lot of Americans like them. He said “These are terrible! I can’t understand why anyone would eat these!”
I asked him whether he’d toasted them.
Apparently — I went and looked on the packaging — at the time, they didn’t actually tell you to toast them on the package. Just assumed that you know to do that via cultural diffusion or whatever. Looking on Amazon right now, they do apparently stick directions on the thing, so I assume that at some point, enough people ran into trouble with that that they fixed the issue.
Such an American thing to do. Warning signs on everything, but can’t be bothered to print the value on half their coins. Just force every child to memorize the values in school instead. There are tons of examples of this kind of thing if you look for them.
that barely helps, toasting “cardboard” doesn’t taste much better
