Jus&#39; kidding....</p> <p>The price of avocados is artificially high. I can&#39;t speak to current matters but I recall reading when I lived in LA in the 80&#39;s about the &quot;market order&quot; system. They do the same thing with citrus and I&#39;ll bet a lot of other products.</p> <p>Although it is the Dept of Ag that says how many of what can reach the market, they system is really a creation of the growers to keep prices high. Back then, in the 80&#39;s, a box of CA avo&#39;s cost like $33 in Western Canada, Mexican ones were maybe $8. That much difference was not in the cost of growing.</p> <p>I won&#39;t buy Haas. What a ripoff. </p> http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/favorite-receipe-with-avocados#post-36738 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 21:19:37 +0000 CaveGirl 36738@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ <p>Makes me hate the fact that avocados are getting too dang pricey in NYC. I can eat a whole one in one sitting without thinking twice, so at $2-2.50 each this habit can get pricey.</p> <p>*sigh* :( </p> http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/favorite-receipe-with-avocados#post-36720 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 20:43:49 +0000 chocolatechip69 36720@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ <p>I can&#39;t stand the taste of avocado. </p> http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/favorite-receipe-with-avocados#post-36694 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 19:41:13 +0000 kjake55 36694@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ <p>1 chopped hard-boiled egg, 1/2 sliced (or chopped avacado) and walnuts, a little apple-cider vinegar (to taste) and S&amp;P to taste if your so inclined. Can either be eaten as-is (usually for breakfast in my house) or over salad when you want something a little different on top.</p> <p>I also use it as a plain spread to replace mayo in lettuce wraps. </p> http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/favorite-receipe-with-avocados#post-36689 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 19:29:07 +0000 Tara tootie 36689@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ <p>I second the avocado pudding!!! Third, maybe? ANyway... I made mine with avocado, cocoa powder, stevia, vanilla. It was super tasty. </p> <p>Also if you have any greens you could do a variant of this (from my diary, I made this on Friday):</p> <p>Kale Slaw (actually a vegan[not that I advocate that]/raw recipe!)<br /> 4 c Kale, veins removed and chopped<br /> 1 small avocado<br /> 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar<br /> 1 round T sun dried tomatoes, chopped<br /> 1 T shallot chopped<br /> oil (any kind) if needed<br /> S&amp;P to taste<br /> Put all in bowl and mash up with hands! Thats it! Eat within a couple hours or the avo will brown. THIS IS SO GOOD!!!! </p> http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/favorite-receipe-with-avocados#post-36686 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 19:19:59 +0000 62shelby 36686@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ <p>its not my favourite and I dont do it all the time, but I love the chocolate pudding made with avocado, cocoa, vanilla, cinnamon and a little sweetener(poison) of choice. </p> http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/favorite-receipe-with-avocados#post-36656 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 18:41:52 +0000 musajen 36656@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ <p>I find it&#39;s a great addition to turkey/chicken salad. I crock-potted a turkey breast with some curry (delish!) and then mixed the leftover turkey with a little mayo and avocado. You can either dice up the avocado or mash it in with the mayo. Really tasty combination - but I LOVE avocado. I also do the same with egg salad. </p> <p>Basically anytime something calls for mayo, I&#39;ll use a little less mayo and mash avocado in with it. </p> http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/favorite-receipe-with-avocados#post-36625 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 16:59:41 +0000 Geoff 36625@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ <p>OtB - that&#39;s making me pine for my days in the Sunshine State. Loved those Florida avos.</p> <p>My fave is a variant on yours - split and pit the avocado. spritz with lemon or lime and some salt (hot sauce too if you&#39;re in the mood). Scoop with a grapefruit spoon and eat. </p> http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/favorite-receipe-with-avocados#post-36617 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 16:15:24 +0000 OnTheBayou 36617@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ <p>A very popular in the tropics serving for avo&#39;s is dice, sugar, and lemon or lime juice. Now, obviously, sugar is not going on my plate, so I use xylitol or ethritol. Stevia is just too conentrated to sprinkle uniformly.</p> <p>I just got another big Florida avo yesterday. They are coming into season, so keep an eye out in your stores for &quot;alligator pears.&quot; Often called green skin avos. They aren&#39;t as common as the expensive, commodity controlled as Haas, but every bit as good. </p> http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/favorite-receipe-with-avocados#post-36616 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 16:12:51 +0000 MariaNYC 36616@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ <p>Simply add to ceviche. For impressive presentation, slide avocados in half, discard pit, peel off skin, take tiny slice off the rounded portion so they don&#39;t wobble when you plate them, and fill hollows with ceviche. </p> http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/favorite-receipe-with-avocados#post-36614 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 16:07:58 +0000 nina_70 36614@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ <p>This is totally different, but there&#39;s a bunch of recipe&#39;s out there for Avocado chocolate mousse and I&#39;ve heard it&#39;s fantastic. Most of them combine avocado with maple syrup, cocoa, and sometimes coconut oil, vanilla essence etc... </p> <p>I haven&#39;t tried any of the recipe&#39;s yet, but have been thinking about it for a while. I&#39;d replace the syrup w/ stevia or equivalent, but I loooove the idea of this as a semi-primal treat. Here&#39;s some links:<br /> <a href="http://makeeverydayraw.blogspot.com/2007/07/chocolate-avocado-mouse.html" rel="nofollow">http://makeeverydayraw.blogspot.com/2007/07/chocolate-avocado-mouse.html</a><br /> <a href="http://autonomieproject.wordpress.com/2008/07/29/vegan-recipe-of-the-week-raw-avocado-chocolate-mousse/" rel="nofollow">http://autonomieproject.wordpress.com/2008/07/29/vegan-recipe-of-the-week-raw-avocado-chocolate-mousse/</a></p> <p>If you do try it let me know...I&#39;m dying to find out if it&#39;s any good. </p> http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/favorite-receipe-with-avocados#post-36612 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 16:01:12 +0000 maba 36612@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ <p>Guacamole, definitely yes. But if you&#39;re not a big fan, just chop it up and add it to your dalad. You probably won&#39;t notice it when eating w/ other veggies. Or add it to your smoothie. SassaFrass had a recipe for avocado icecream here. </p> http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/favorite-receipe-with-avocados#post-36580 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 14:19:54 +0000 CaveGirl 36580@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ <p>Well, basic guacamole is yummy, I like to mix up chopped avocados with flaked crabmeat and a vinegar dressing.</p> <p>Although most times i just dice it up, drizzle with olive oil, balsamic vinegar and salt and pepper and eat it up! </p> http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/topic/favorite-receipe-with-avocados#post-36575 Tue, 03 Nov 2009 13:52:45 +0000 BikerPike 36575@http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/ <p>I&#39;ve never been a fan but trying to expand my taste buds and have two Avocados need to use up before I leave for Florida tomorrow.</p> <p>I&#39;d love some of your favorite recipes with Avocado..dips maybe? </p>
