But wait! How DO you cook them? I've tried boiling, roasting, frying, baking them. All just awful!

Battered and fried avocado is legitimately delicious.

It's a special cooking method. We get in our car, drive to that hipster joint that has the fancy tacos and ask for the 'fried avocados'.

I tried making them myself after that and pan fried worked well, but taco place is still way better. I think deep fried might be too much and stir could be problematic.

That does sound good.

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.

Take a dozen of these and throw them in Pepsi zero and then boil them for 20 minutes like a tea egg. It really brings out the flavor of these weird green egg things.

The yolk is so hard though :(

Unfortunately everything wrong. Microwave them as long+hard as you can. They will taste umagi!!
