  How is that not an opinion?
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. >
  
  Not what I meant. Cilantro tastes to me like I'm eating a bar of soap and that particular reaction is apparently shared by a decent subset of people. I can't imagine that it tastes that way to everyone as I doubt many people would want to eat soap. So I am more saying that it's possible that OP and others may be having a similar taste reaction to avocado that I and others have to Cilantro. That or there may be a question of freshness or other ingredients. >
  
  This is actually a genetic thing. For some ppl, cilantro literally tastes like soap. Im not one, but my gfs mom is. Pretty sure theres cilantro in guac too. OP should eat just cilantro by itself or just avocado by itself to see. >
  
  Guacamole can have cilantro, but I don't think it's mandatory >
  
  Well yea, but if OP bought guac and there was cilantro in it, and they have that generic variation, they might be tasting soap for that reason. >
  
  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. >
  
  Yeah I eat it with maple syrup! It’s pretty good. >
  
  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. >
  
  Perfect subreddit as this is a trash opinion, >
  
  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 >
  
  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 >
  
  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? >
  
  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 >
  
  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 >
  
  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? >
  
  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. >
  
  I agree it’s gross. >
  
  Just had a raw avocado at the perfect peak ripeness - soft, buttery, a little nutty and savory and so flavorful, so yummy >
  
  People with inferior taste buds tend to have this opinion ;) >
  
  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 >
  
  Damn, sucks for you. More avocado for the rest of us though!! 😋 >
  
  bro got a jar of puke from the store, guaranteed >
  
  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 >
  
  this subreddit going craaaaazy today >
  
  I utterly disagree. So take my upvote >
  
  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 was just a popular trend like Nutella.  In reality It’s bland af >
  
  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 🤣 >
  
  Take my fucking upvote you incorrect son of a bitch >
  
  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. >
  
  Everytime I see horrible takes like that I just imagine that your favorite food is chicken nuggets or something like that >
  
  Prices vary of course but I just got back from the store and paid $0.64/each…that’s not that expensive. >
  
  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 >
  
  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) >
  
  Not garbage, compost >
  
  Preach, brother! >
  
  Palta is best! >
  
  I think it's actually a type of berry. >
  
  Guacamole is a popular chip dip that, like other chip dips, isn't that good all by itself.  As for "avocado paste" you just might have been eating something intended a labor-saving ingredient for homemade Guac, or as a spread - which you'd no more enjoy than you'd enjoy eating mayo from the jar, or a bowl of spaghetti sauce with no spaghetti. >
  
  
  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. >
  
  i like guacamole but avacado by itself isn’t that great to me . it’s not good or bad it’s just meh >
  
  Worst thing ive heard. You being wrong is a fact. >
  
  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 >
  
  Ohhhh it tastes like soap suds...
  I'd be interested to hear your reaction to cilantro >
  
  THANK YOU >
  
  I think its pretty good for you tho >
  
  I consider myself a picky eater
  Avocado is 1 out of the only 4 fruits I like
  I would eat it every day >
  
  Simmer down. >
  
  You can buy avocados on sale / in bulk and freeze them >
  
  avocado legit tastes like soap >
  
  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 >
  
  Hell yeah I hate avocado too. Tastes like wet grass lol >
  
  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? >
  
  Imo, avocado is gross af by itself.  It needs other ingredients or to be spread on something. >
  
  Amen, brother >
  
  It taste like nothingness to me, the most overrated food in existence, near maybe to sushi. >
  
  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 >
  
  i hate avocados and guacamole so much. 
  i never get it in my burritos or nachos, and certainly never on toast. gross. >
  
  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. >
  
  It tastes like soap to me >
  
  
  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). >
  
  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 >
  
  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. >
  
  Add bacon >
  
  I might add some water to it by flushing it down the toilet lol >
  
  How is it only the first time ever in your life you have tried Avocado? Do you live in an area where it isn’t popular? >
  
  I've never been interested in it. It's not that popular where I live too. >
  
  Why do you complain about the price of something you will evidently never buy again. >
  
  A little over the top, don’t you think? >
  
  This reads like a kid trying mustard on his hotdog for the first time lol >
  
  Not an opinion. Not unpopular. Not cool.
