I have never had an avocado and now that I know that they are “trendy” I will avoid them like the plague.

I really like guacamole, and a piece of ripe avocado with a dab of salt complements many dishes.
But it seems to me that avocados are on the same trajectory as pumpkins — on their way to becoming so ubiquitous as to inspire a “ho-hum” reaction.
I knew the pumpkin craze had gone too far when I sampled my first pumpkin beer — and that was at least 15 years ago.
The lesson here — there are trendy things that are actually good, and there are trendy things that are only trendy. But it’s never good for a good thing to become trendy.
The good thing about avocados is that they do not have an offensive flavor.
The bad thing about avocados is that they do not have much flavor at all. :)
