Well, it’s fucking disgusting in the Midwest. I thought I didn’t like it until I moved back to California. How could storage and shipment affect it so?
I recall the Midwest had a preponderance of Fuerte avocados (the smoothish green-skinned ones). Hass avocados (with rough black skin) are far better.
The best I ever had was a grapefruit-sized black spherical avocado from a friend’s tree in Long Beach. The flesh was dark green and ridiculously flavorful. Best guac ever.
People don’t believe me when I say avocados in the Toronto area are not good. “They’re the same avocados!” they’ll say, but I lived in SoCal and no, they are not the same damned avocados.
Avocado actually tastes good if it isn’t picked unripe and shipped to Ohio
Avocado doesn’t work like that. It doesn’t start ripening until it’s picked. Can’t help you with the Ohio part though.

Interesting! I bet that had something to do with it.
You’re either insane, or your grocers store them in the worst possible conditions.
it’s the grocers. can’t explain it, but i’ve lived a lot of places and there’s something special about the avocados in socal

They’re not sending their best.
It’s not just me!
I am insane, yes, but also I don’t think Ohio grocers in the '90s knew what to do with avocadoes
I live in the Midwest, and usually they’re hard at the store, so you have to plan ahead. You want nachos Sunday? Buy the avocados on Thursday. Boom.
That’s avocadoes everywhere. They just also taste like shit in Ohio.
suspect this is more of an ohio issue than an avocado issue. good luck with that.
Oh, I solved the Ohio problem.
FOR YOU MAYBE. It’s still a problem for the rest of us.
I’m not stopping you from solving your own problems.
As someone in Ohio, this is correct.
But clean penis? Next you’ll tell me it tastes like unicorn horn.
Let’s meet up in California and you can do a side-by-side comparison
Username checks out.
You are making it sound like Ohio is where flavor goes to die
It is.
What’s the opposite of “Flavortown?”
