you don't need to put avocado in everything! that's sacrilege. avocado should be eaten by itself, with salsa or maple syrup. i prefer maple syrup. if i eat it with salsa i might as well have some nachos, too! in the old country, avocado with condensed milk is dessert or snack. so it surprised a few of the girls in my old office to find that that was how i prefer to eat my avocado. a girl, from Jamaica, tried it and got hooked instantly.
but these days, i try to get away from condensed milk because i tend to put too much because i also love condensed milk. if i could marry the person who invented condensed milk, i would've! so when i came to Canada and discovered that maple syrup goes well with avocado, that's what i would have. maple syrup could be overwhelmingly sweet so i tend to use it sparingly, even though my cupboard has quite a few cans of maple syrup, the dark kind.
when buying avocado, make sure that the stub of the stem is still attached to the fruit. it helps prevent it from getting ripe too fast and developing strings. feel the fruit subtly, it should be firm yet soft at the same time.
When I was in Canada I saw so many different maple syrups and ways of using them. It's used here but not as much. With avocados I would have balsamic vinegar, olive oil, or maybe use as smashed avos with feta cheese. Mmmm: off for lunch!!
I never heard of avocado with maple syrup. I like to make guacamole to have with Tex-Mex food. But I have trouble picking good ones, so thanks for the advice!
I rarely eat avocado as an adult, but growing up my best friend's mother was a Jamaican immigrant, and when I was at their house she used to feed me avocado sliced and sprinkled with salt and pepper, much like many people here eat tomatoes.
Great advice for how to find the proper avocado. Not really a fan of it either way you recommended, but I would be willing to try with the condensed milk.
