[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is regional. Not a big deal in some parts of the country and a crazy high maintenance you must be a socialist if you eat this in other parts.

You could ask a midwesterner for a slab of ham, pounds of greasy hash browns, pound of bacon and gallons of whole milk. This is how we roll! Would be the response. Ask for avocado toast and they would be horrified because you know eating something green for breakfast makes you gay.

I think there's a lot of gray area between what you describe and the other extreme.

We like avocados a lot in our house.  We eat them a lot, including on toast.  But I feel like there is always an element of avocado roulette. Will they be ripe? Will they look good inside?  When will they be good?  So, I find myself checking the avocados before each meal.  If they're ripe?  Yay, let's make toast, or another food with avocado.  If they're not?  That's OK, we can try again next meal.

Because of this, I would not plan on serving avocados to a guest.  If they happen to be there on an avocado day, then I'd say "I had planned on pancakes, but we could have avocado toast instead if you'd like?"  or "Does anyone want a side of avocado with their eggs?

Now, my sister can plan for avocados. She'll say to me "can you make that salsa for the party?" and I'll say "I don't know, I can't plan on avocados" and she'll say "I will stop by that morning with some" and they will be perfect.  She is gifted.  I am not.

I'll also add that I agree that bacon is also a stressful ask.  We eat bacon regularly too, but I would never ask a host for it.  [/quote]

Give the avocado a roommate - an apple or banana and place in a paper bag, the ethylene gas from the fruit will ripen the avocado. I really miss marks and Spencer’s, where you could buy a 3 pack of avocados - one perfectly ripe, one that would be ripe in a day or two and one that would need 3-4 days. It was like magic. They also sold these mini cauliflowers, that were perfect. [/quote]
