hass avocado

[abc]

i'm not talking about nutritional value (monounsaturated fats)

i'm talking about flavor... and marketing....


i've been getting a hold of larger, cheaper, dominican origin avocados and not only are they a tad creamier, but they are a heck of a lot sweeter

compared to the hass that i've always bought.

I think they are pretty good, but i would not just eat them. I love avacados so Hass or not, i enjoy them. I just make sure they are ripe enough and enjoy.
My favorite way to eat them is on a fresh whole wheat bread with a tad of dijon mustard, tomato and a bit of high quality oilve oil and salt and pepper! MMMMmmm!

it's just about the only avocado you can get in the US with any flavor.

i don't know the type of avocados i've been eating of late, but they're small in size, creamier in texture than a hass, and i think better flavor. anybody have any clue what type of avocado i'm talking about?

Admittedy, my knowledge of avocado's is not encyclopedic -- when I ended up in LA I thought I could eat the avocados from the tree in the side yard of my Hollywood apartment, but they were indeed totally inedible (though they were visually indistinguishable from what I think of as the "hass" variety.

That said, I always assumed that the "hass" variety encompassed the entire range of smaller avocados with the dark, dark green unto black skin, and that the only other avocado variety in the world was those bloated, water laden, often fibrous, rounder, light green skinned mostrosities that I despise so thoroughly.

But I could be wrong.

Edit: . . . The hass being more pear shaped -- and reliably creamy and tasty, unless it's the winter months and they've been gassed before their long sea voyage from Chile and so sometimes will begin to rot BEFORE they ripen. :roll:

Years ago, I once convinced an idiot produce guy here in the NorthEast (I guess before everyone here actually knew about avocados) that the soft (ripe) ones were bad and he used to give them to me for 5 for a dollar, lol.
