No one ate avocados until up to a few years ago. We’ll do fine without them.

Many did, in America...just NOT a large portion of the American populace. They were usually eaten with something ( lobster or shrimp salad, chicken salad, or just plain, with a light dressings ) inside the hole that the removed pit left, or as an appetizer.

I find them quite bland. However that can be a good thing as it serves a good base for all kinds of dips and spreads.

Been acting avocado my entire life. Use to have an avocado tree in the backyard and have friends who give me the ones they can’t eat.

I’ve been eating avocados since an infant [where do you live? I can’t imagine being avocado-less]... and I’m 70. On top of that I have 9 uncles all farmers ... most avocado farmers.

This is the first time I have seen a real serious shortage. My family farmed them in Ventura. CA for generations but they are becoming less available.

And, yes, they have always been a staple.
