So I'm in the supermarket, groping away at the avocados to try to find one that's ready to use without being too old, y'know. As you do.
Anyway, it was really frustrating. I ended up talking to the produce manager and suggesting that he change the way he places avocados in the store. Basically I suggested that they have a section for avocados that are ready to use, and a section for avocados that will be ready in a few days' time. I mean, that's how they organize their banana section.
The produce manager fixes me with a steely gaze and replies "we find people like to buy avocados of all different ripeness".
So here is my question - do you eat underripe or overripe avocados? Have you ever heard of such a thing? I always assumed avocados were like pork, (good to eat or not) rather than beef (cooked according to taste). Am I wrong?

Uhm... it's a fruit about the size and shape of a pear, but it has a black skin and lots of green flesh inside which is buttery and tasty and can be used to make guacamole. Originally Posted by powerwolf

Where I live, ripe avocados are unheard of. They simply are not available. Same with pears for some reason. The simple answer is to buy a few underripe ones and drop them in a paper bag and leave them on the kitchen counter for 24-48 hours. Voila...ripe!
It just requires a bit of pre-planning on your menus.
