  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.
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
