Not clear to me why anyone eats avocados. If they disappeared I would not even notice.
Maybe because you’re eating the wrong variety of avocados. Since you’re on the East Coast you may be eating Florida avocados which are often with tough strings, brown spots and unpleasant.
A classic Haas [our classic], or Fuerte or Pinkerton might please you more.
I am lucky to live in CA where my family grows avocados commercially.
