Have you tasted it? I know I have :) Mmmmm

LOL at the randomness of the topic!

I used to look at avocados suspiciously. You know, like they're from Mars? (And the greenish-with-a-hint-of-brown color doesn't help too.) Eventually someone forced avocado fruit shake down my throat and found it's actually good.

I dunno about that sectioning them according to ripeness; you can tell it by the peel's color anyway. (But maybe I just don't care much for such things since I don't do my own grocery shopping much? :p)

do you eat underripe or overripe avocados?

Underripe avocados: no. It's hard right?
Overripe: no. Too icky.

Go for just right. :3

Uhm... what ? PM it to me?

Supermarket chains buy in bulk and handle their produce in bulk. That is why they prefer to buy fruit that is still very firm as it is less likely to be damaged in transport and handling.
I am old enough to remember a time when a greengrocer would select the produce at the market and advise their customers upon when the fruit would be ready to eat and how to take care of it.

I have some expertise in fruit and vegetables. To ripen avocado's place them in a fruit bowl with some bananas. To ripen pears you need to chill them for a short period ( 1 or 2 days) and then leave them to ripen at room temperature. Never store tomatoes in the refrigerator as it alters the taste and never choose citrus fruit that is picked green (unripe) as it will never ripen properly, no matter how it is treated.

I like my avocado to be just on the turn, that is still firm but just starting to soften. I like avocado on hot buttered toast with salt, cracked black pepper, tasty mature cheese and tomato.

Its fruit right?

Avocado is a type of pear but it is not sweet in taste.
