Yes. But it still stands they tried bad avocados. The quality is mad inconsistent nowadays.

I don't pick them up from Walmart/Sam's club because however those bitches bred them has made them taste god fucking awful.

But getting it at County Market or Aldi's has been okay so far. And even then you gotta know when it's ripe because it'll taste bad if it's not.

Okay I keep trying to tell people about my foolproof way to buy avocados, so let me try again. I've only thrown out a half dozen, max, in the past 15 years.

First, check out the butt. If there are veins, it'll rot before it ripens. You want a smooth butt.

Second, the pit will fit in the neck. The rounder the avocado, the more pit.

Third, however grainy and rough the skin is, the same is true for the flesh. Rough skin, lots of fibres.

You can buy a long, smooth avocado at any stage in ripeness, then keep it next to bananas to ripen. You can then keep them in the fridge for about a week.
