Favorite receipe with Avocados? page 2

[kjake55]

1 chopped hard-boiled egg, 1/2 sliced (or chopped avacado) and walnuts, a little apple-cider vinegar (to taste) and S&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.


I also use it as a plain spread to replace mayo in lettuce wraps.

I can't stand the taste of avocado.

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.


*sigh*

Kick chippers out of the club! Jus' kidding....


The price of avocados is artificially high. I can't speak to current matters but I recall reading when I lived in LA in the 80's about the "market order" system. They do the same thing with citrus and I'll bet a lot of other products.


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's, a box of CA avo's cost like $33 in Western Canada, Mexican ones were maybe $8. That much difference was not in the cost of growing.


I won't buy Haas. What a ripoff.
