One hopes. Or not. Some people react to things as simple as raw vegetables in quantity. You don't generally have the problem of
course.

My digestion isn't too happy with many raw vegetables.... so I tend to
stay away from a lot of them... Green salads being one of the things
I've avoided, except now at Taste of Japan, where Fu's own made ginger-miso-carrot-etc dressing makes it possible for me to digest the
lettuce and the cucumbers... Cooked veggies are usually a lot less of a
problem for me... :)

(except I've never heard of Black folk locally eating too many
avocados, never mind avocado salad.)

Black northeasterners, probably not so much, just because
of the calorie to dollar ratio, but there's a big world
to consider (including the US south), where the fruit are
more easily available and there's the possibility for the
less affluent to indulge.

I even put the question out on Facebook. The only "yes I eat that" answers came from Caucasians and Spanish of assorted varieties. Go figure. It's probably different when people can grow their own.

It seems to also be different here locally... where various sorts of
avocados are available in the supermarkets, and where people of all
sorts (black, white, spanish, asian, etc) eat all sorts of cuisines...
avocados and guacamole seem to be enjoyed across the board... Wegmans
makes their own guacamole to sell along with their other Mexican entrees
and such... and I've observed all sorts of people gladly buying it,
and/or eating it in the "cafe" area....

Yeah, I know... generally that's the case for me, too....
apparently I really lucked out on this one... ;)

It's one of the few times I wish I lived much further south - better chances to get tropical or at least warm weather fruit/veggies that aren't green or half spoiled before they get here.

The last one I got turned out to still be green when I cut into it
yesterday... the second half is in the fridge to ripen a bit....

ok at best... But his is really something special... Anybody

here

on the echo that's had it will attest to that... Fu's has been a
picnic venue twice now, and some have been there just on visits

to

Rochester... plus, I've used it in salads for other picnics...

;)

Now I'm really curious about what he puts in that stuff!

You'll need to host a picnic, so that we can all come to your place

and

bring these goodies to you... ;)

My organizational skills when it comes to that sort of thing are....
somewhat lacking.(LOL)

He's been known to say, with a twinkle, 'cocaine'... ;) He's said

the

same about some other things he makes that are rather addicting,

like

his ice creams, so I'm sure he's joking... ;) I don't know

everything

he puts in the dressing, but I do know about the miso, ginger and
carrots... he has told us that he also uses a lot of other veggies
ground small in it... always very good, and extremely good for the
digestion, he makes sure the pH is just so... ;)

Sounds like food to me too.

How that happened I'll never know. Mine are always brown

at

least in spots.

By which time it will be brown. And gray.

Almost... It didn't look too bad when I took it out a day or so ago... unfortunately it still wasn't fully ripe, but it was closer, and close enough... Greyish-brown around the edges where it was pulling away from
the rind... but still tasted fine... :) I'll probably wait longer next
time, if I get another from the same batch at the store... ;)

not terribly feasible either....

I guess I'm forever hopeful... and I do like avocado quite well...
Mostly I get my fixes from having it as part of various sushi rolls at
Fu's.... eel avocado, Philly (salmon, cream cheese, and substituting
avocado for the usual cucumber), and a few special rolls that have it as
part of the mix....

It's OK in that context, but does make me wonder if avocado has made
its way back to Japan too. And if the Philly roll did.

Pizza went to India and Japan. The Japanese have been known to use odd-sounding toppings, but whatever. The avocado may have followed.

According to Fu, no, it hasn't... and neither have such Western ideas as
the Philly roll or the California roll.... He makes an assortment of traditional rolls (such as one would get in Japan) and fancy rolls, some
of which he's made up as well... :) We were just there on Monday, for Richard's birthday, and again on Thanksgivibg Day... He was open, so it

I thought the California Roll might have. Things that taste good
have a way of traveling. I wonder if the Japanese have gotten around
to importing the idea of peanut butter yet. The unsweetened kind
would work nicely with a lot of Japanese flavors.
