  Ok but people all have different taste buds 🙂- l don't like eggs at all 🥚 But I seem to be in the minority 😀
context: i think this may be a cilantro type thing, certain foods csn have an unpleadsnt taste due to certain subsets. >
  
  Yup. That guac had cilantro in it. >
  
  I love cilantro (coriander in Australia). I love a well made guacamole.
  I hate avocado >
  
  TIL outside North America cilantro is called coriander and coriander is called coriander seeds >
  
  Why would you call seeds coriander is they grow into something called cilantro? Why wouldn't you call them cilantro seeds?
  That's just crazy >
  
  Reckon the guacamole you had contained cilantro which is what probably caused the “soapy” taste. Cilantro is known to taste that way to some people.
  Avocado might just not be for you but I also reckon you’ve never had authentic Mexican guacamole, or pretty much any authentic Mexican food that makes use of avocado. Mexicans know what’s up when it comes to avocado. Hell, even straight up avocado with salt on toast is pretty damn good imo. >
  
  Coriander >
  
  Cilantro >
  
  Some Asian countries treat it as dessert. Like you add condensed milk to it. Or milk + sugar. It's also great as a milkshake or ice cream. But to each his own. Taste is weird. Like how is it that people have the same biologically constructed tongues but experience foods differently? Taste is weird. >
  
  We always ate it with a spoon, halved (very ripe) with sugar sprinkled on top. Delicious. My favorite avocado dessert though is avocado pie. Absolute heaven >
  
  I thought the same thing until I was bodybuilding and blended it in my smoothies, it’s nutritious asf and you can cover the taste of like 3 avocados with some berries >
  
  I agree it’s gross. >
  
  I utterly disagree. So take my upvote >
  
  I utterly agree so take my upvote >
  
  Avocado is great with some lemon and salt on toast >
  
  Something something boomers, Netflix, cost of living >
  
  i’m gen z >
  
  That’s his point lol >
  
  Perfect subreddit as this is a trash opinion, >
  
  It's like tofu, full of nutrients, but don't eat it plain. Add it to meals to add flavor, but raw its not to everyone's liking. >
  
  Avocado mixed with ground cashew and capers is awesome >
  
  Dang some of y’all haven’t grown up with some good as Hispanic food with flavor >
  
  eh im dominican and i don't like it either. it just isn't for some people >
  
  I think OP has a that genetic thing where cilantro tastes like soap. My gfs mom is the same. >
  
  Nah avocado just tastes like ass. Ruins the taste of the food and overpowers it. >
  
  I mean, he references that guacamole tasted like soap suds in the original post >
  
  Just had a raw avocado at the perfect peak ripeness - soft, buttery, a little nutty and savory and so flavorful, so yummy >
  
  Avocado makes me gag it’s so disgusting >
  
  Me too man. Worst thing is people enjoy it and im the odd one out >
  
  Why is it bad that people have different taste? >
  
  /u/masonvam's problem isn't that other people enjoy it, they're more complaining about how they're excluded from that enjoyment. I agree with OP and going against the consensus is very ostracizing. Nearly every reply is people asserting that the opinion is trash and OP just hasn't tried the right way to eat this food which made them physically ill.
  It's like a colourblind person going to a highly acclaimed art gallery and unable to see the art. Telling them the artist's backstory and shining a spotlight on a picture won't make a blank canvas into the masterpiece everyone else experiences. >
  
  It taste like nothingness to me, the most overrated food in existence, near maybe to sushi. >
  
  Oooof I agree with you on the sushi one, but I do think guacamole is tasty >
  
  Ah finally, an actual unpopular opinion that I 100% agree with.
  I mostly hate how much social media has glorified it.
  Like, get that shit off my toast! out of my sushi!
  NO! Don't use the shell as a coffee cup! >
  
  people use the shell as a coffee cup?? >
  
  Search up Avolatte, and you'll see what I mean >
  
  Avocados aren’t expensive where I live. They are creamy and full of nutrients. Why would I want to spread unhealthy butter on toast when I can use an avocado? >
  
  Butter is not unhealthy. >
  
  I agree I don’t think butter is unhealthy either >
  
  I eat avocado with a spoon straight from the skin after sprinkling salt on it >
  
  Try lemon and salt, it's fucking amazing >
  
  Pull pit and fill it with chicken salad. Great on the go meal - just saying >
  
  It's not expensive here in Israel, and I can eat it as it is.. BUT it has to be ripe. You have to be able to mash it into the paste. Add some salt, lemon and some boiled eggs and it's perfect. But if it's hard, then don't even try to eat it, it will be tasteless and disgusting >
  
  Do you spread it on the sliced boiled eggs and eat it like that? >
  
  No, you can make a salad with avocado and eggs. Or mush it together to make a spread and eat with pita >
  
  People with inferior taste buds tend to have this opinion ;) >
  
  I totally agree! I can TOLERATE guacamole, but only if it’s mixed with lots of lime, salsa, or queso lol but as for people who just eat raw avocado, stop playing, you know it tastes like nothing at best or old mushy grossness at worst. >
  
  Lmao who tf is eating raw avacodo guac lol the problem with all these opinions is clearly the makers of dishes with avocado did you all dirty. I understand not liking the taste but it obviously needs to be prepared and also ripe enough >
  
  Lol I’m not talking about guac, like I said I can tolerate guacamole mixed with other seasonings and flavors… I’m talking about people who literally just slice it up and put in on a piece of toast and act like it’s soooo delicious hahaha >
  
  Never seen someone put it on toast with nothing else that doesn't sound good >
  
  Honestly avocado low key tastes like semen >
  
  No shit lmao >
  
  100% agree. I have never met anyone else who dislikes avocado so I feel this! Glad I am not the only one, super overhyped/priced. >
  
  Palta is best! >
  
  I consider myself a picky eater
  Avocado is 1 out of the only 4 fruits I like
  I would eat it every day >
  
  You can buy avocados on sale / in bulk and freeze them >
  
  Imo, avocado is gross af by itself.  It needs other ingredients or to be spread on something. >
  
  Amen, brother >
  
  Avocado chunks nor guac aren't tasty imo. What is tasty is a smashed avo with little bit of lemon juice, little bit of salt and possibly some chilli flakes. Mashed, but not like a smooth paste.
  Try that. >
  
  Yes ! I always think it adds nothing to the general taste of the dish , i even think it reduces the flavor sometimes 🤣 >
  
  Sprinkle some crack on it next time >
  
  Finally a legit unpopular opinion. >
  
  Damn, sucks for you. More avocado for the rest of us though!! 😋 >
  
  bro got a jar of puke from the store, guaranteed >
  
  you might hate cilantro, not guacamole. if you persist on this avocado hatred I'm going to have to ask you to post a fridge pic >
  
  Worst thing ive heard. You being wrong is a fact. >
  
  Ohhhh it tastes like soap suds...
  I'd be interested to hear your reaction to cilantro >
  
  Avocado is horrible. To the people saying it tastes like soap.. soap tastes better than avocado, at least to me. >
  
  Avocado was just a popular trend like Nutella.  In reality It’s bland af >
  
  Popular trend to white Americans maybe lol Caribbean folk and Latin Americans grew up on it. It’s so yummy >
  
  I’m Mexican . It’s alright . Taste like nothing >
  
  Thats great. Still only would be referred to as a “popular trend” by white Americans. It has been a part of Mexican cuisine—and many other cuisines—for too long to be called a trend lol >
  
  I know. By trend I meant that there were lot of memes and videos about how great avocado was all around internet some years ago >
  
  Everytime I see horrible takes like that I just imagine that your favorite food is chicken nuggets or something like that >
  
  Chicken nuggets and Mac n cheese at a high end restaurant. >
  
  Take my fucking upvote you incorrect son of a bitch >
  
  Avocado is horrid in all forms I also feel the same way about all things pumpkin or pumpkin spice! >
  
  Agreed.  Can't stand the stuff. >
  
  avocado legit tastes like soap >
  
  Hell yeah I hate avocado too. Tastes like wet grass lol >
  
  It tastes like soap to me >
  
  As someone who seriously dislikes the taste of avocado, you seriously skipped over the majorly important nutritional value part. While i almost certainly won't eat it out of my own volition, saying it's garbage in every single sense is a garbage take 🤣 >
  
  It's not that expensive in my country and I love it on salad. It's fatty and nutritious and I need all the nutrients I can get, as I'm trying to gain weight.(Yes, I'm obviously not American) >
  
  this subreddit going craaaaazy today >
  
  Prices vary of course but I just got back from the store and paid $0.64/each…that’s not that expensive. >
  
  i hate avocados and guacamole so much. 
  i never get it in my burritos or nachos, and certainly never on toast. gross. >
  
  Avocado paste != guacamole. The fact that you don't know the difference hampers your ability to speak on the topic because you're not even sure what you're describing. In fact, "avocado paste" is also a skin moisturizer. Maybe you were eating that since you can't articulate clearly what exactly you were eating at all. >
  
  Whatever it was it wasn't good. Also, I don't need to know the terminology to decide and I don't enjoy something. >
  
  I'm mexican so it tastes amazing with everything fuck you >
  
  Preach, brother! >
  
  I think it's actually a type of berry. >
  
  
  Guacamole […] isn't that good all by itself. 
  
  Blasphemy. I eat guacamole with a spoon. >
  
  That sounds exactly like eating avocado after it went bad. >
  
  Avacardo once picked has a small 3 day window of tastes good. The way to tell is a combination of how Ridgid the stalk is and how firm the body is when squeezed lightly.
  Facts
  You need to test afew bad ones to get the feel, so experience is key.
  Store bought Paste doesn't taste like guacamole that is made fresh.
  Hot avacardo is usually a stupid idea.
  Acidic flavour usually go well with avacardo.
  Salty flavours also go well with avacardo and may be considered essential if the avacardo is accompanied with a rich mellow flavour like egg, bean or cheese. >
  
  I dont know, but I love ripe avocado. take a spoon and taste as is. wow, I love the creamy texture. just some salt on top and delicious. there are some avocado that arent great and they are WAY overpriced for what they are. like everything today si way overpriced. >
  
  Avocados were cheaper than apples when I went to the grocery store >
  
  No. Its shape is pear not garbage >
  
  I think its pretty good for you tho >
  
  Simmer down. >
  
  It doesn't taste horrendous, it tastes of nothing. It has no taste, which makes it easy health-food. But it's only for rich people. If you're not wealthy and you regularly buy avocado then you are financially irresponsible. >
  
  Love avocado, but there's a fine line between it being delish and disgusting. As soon as it turns black it can't be rescued. >
  
  Lol you are doing "eating" wrong. Avocado is the best shit ever. And it grows on fucking trees >
  
  Calling guacamole avocado paste, lol. >
  
  Never tried it and now I never want to.x >
  
  In my opinion, avocados are a food that taste awful when not ripe enough or overripe. It really needs the perfect ripeness. A dish can be ruined if you not use right ones. You might have experienced that. >
  
  Avocado is alright. It's loaded with healthy fats and fiber. It's pretty good if you buy it in frozen cubes and eat it straight out of the freezer. >
  
  I wouldn't call it garbage but it is severely overrated. >
  
  Mexico left the chat >
  
  It just tastes like butter to me. It needs salt and lime juice. >
  
  Boo…… >
  
  I just bought 4 avocados for $6 and eat half of one a day with breakfast.  $6 for a weeks worth of avocados, 75 cents a day to go with my eggs and oatmeal, the eggs are more expensive.  Where in the world do you get the notion that avocados are expensive? >
  
  Not all Avocados are the same. The ones from my home country doesn't taste good that you always have to mix it with milk, and sugar as a dessert, and rarely use it as a side dish. I'm not sure what type of avocado you ate but Hass avocado is the best one I've tasted you can even eat it by itself. >
  
  Good. More condensed wet grass for me OMNOMNOMNOMNOM >
  
  The first time I ever had it I thought it was absolutely disgusting but years later I had it and it's a really nice and mild buttery flavour. Plus, where I live they're about the same price as an apple. >
  
  
  A lot of people praised the avocado paste (guacamole? Not sure if it's the same thing) and so I tried it thinking that hey, maybe the paste might actually be good. Jesus it was horrific. It tasted like bitter soap suds. It took me a while to get rid of that awful after taste, I flossed but was still nauseous for the next hour or so.
  
  Buy a real avocado first of all. 
  If you still don't like it, so be it. I'll eat all your wet clumped grass apples. (that's what my buddy, who also hates them, calls them). >
  
  Wet clumped grass apples is one of favorite names for it. Thank you for that >
  
  Yes >
  
  Avocadoes are great, but guacamole is an abomination to  good food. >
  
  Right so,.... I'm glad you're not eating it. More for me! >
  
  Sounds like you ate a rotten one. >
  
  It depends. Are you eating it by itself? That's probably why. Do you know when an avocado is ripe? Might also be why.
  Guacamole, avocado dip etc aren't just avocado. 
  Think of it like hummus. If it were just smashed chickpeas that would be fucking gross. >
  
  I call it grassy butter. It might as well be actual grass and unsalted butter ughh smh >
  
  Dude doesn’t know what cilantro is. >
  
  Paste? Avocados are just fatty tasting, but not greasy like butter. If you taste bitter, it's the cilantro. I skip the cilantro. It's hard to keep on hand, and don't miss it. >
  
  YYYEEEAAASSS.  I thought I was alone! >
  
  When I was like 10 my dad made me eat a slice of avocado. I threw up and hated it ever since. >
  
  You have lost your mind.
  
  sincerely, the Caribbean and Latin America >
  
  100% agree
