    I have no idea if this is serious or a joke (you never know what people don’t know!) but I’ll treat it like it is.

    Generally it’s raw. However, you can absolutely pop it on a hot grill to char it then add a little salt and lemon juice. It’s pretty good on different kinds of barbecue sandwiches or in a salad.

      It’s a joke, based on an experience my grandmother had many years ago in the grocery store. The lady behind my grandmother in line was asking the checkout person, "how do you cook these “avah’ ka does” (my attempt at getting my gma’s version of the person’s pronunciation). " I grew up with two avocado trees in my back yard, and my first treehouse was in the older of the two trees. We made every kind of guacamole we could imagine, but never cooked them.

        I figured, but I’ve run across people who didn’t know all kinds of things. I’ve found huge disturbing gaps in my own knowledge that I will not admit to so that I don’t die of embarrassment. Like super common stuff. So I try to be helpful just in case.

          There’s so many things to learn. Find those gaps, and fill the important ones. My own lack of knowledge regarding movies, tv shows, gaming, and a host of other topics will likely forever remain.
