You live in california and never ate guacamole? I don't think that's even possible.
Hah yes trust me it’s hard to convince people it’s true.
If you honestly don't recollect or havent tried it, do it, you will not regret it!

Avocado is a high fat fruit. So for vegans or people on low fat diets they're especially delicious.
And it's great if you're on a high fat diet, you can eat all the avocados you want! I hadn't even ever tried one before.

Add some salt and lime juice, maybe ancho chili too :)
Or split it in half, fill the pit holes with vinaigrette, and eat it with a spoon together with bread and butter. Had a lot of fun with that as a kid :)

You're not wrong - avocados planted from seed take anywhere from 5 to 13 years+ before they flower and produce fruit. http://ucavo.ucr.edu/general/answers.html
We have a compost bin in the back yard where they sprout from seed spontaneously. I have grown a couple of trees and given some seedlings away to friends. Fingers crossed, they bear fruit eventually. If not, they make a fairly fast growing tree (2m after 3-4 years) - although this week the leaves burn quickly in the summer heat if inadequately watered.
I don't understand how high avocado prices could cause Chipotle to loose money. Guacamole is an optional add on why wouldn't they just raise the price of the guacamole to reflect the market price of avocado or use avocado futures to hedge their price risk.
Potentially because then price sensitive people to whom avocado is important to enjoyment of the Chipotle menu items compared to other meal alternatives will instead not eat at Chipotle, so Chiptle will lose more money.
Not sure how this contributes to this thread, but I’m nearly 40 years old and have never once tasted an avocado. I was born and raised in California but for some reason I’ve always been repulsed by their appearance. I’ll realize this is ridiculous and will probably get over this at some point.
Also -- you've never even had guacamole? Or a California roll? Are you some kind of picky eater?

Cheese, generally, contains a lot of fat and salt (as in natrium, I think in the USA it is called sodium). We're consuming too much natrium as it is. There are other, cheaper methods of obtaining protein. Some of which are locally available. In Africa, for example, insects are used as local source of protein. They have a low Co2 footprint for a variety of reasons: * Because a lack of transportation (locally available…
Yeah, but "mac 'n' insects" doesn't quite have the same appeal!
It's all about branding.
Afraid you have nothing on Australians affair with Avocado. https://www.sbs.com.au/comedy/article/2016/10/17/i-stopped-e... It's a staple of the Australian diet, fairly certain it's one of the 5 fruits a day over there adorned on the walls of schools across the country. Seriously though, I've seen Avocado go for $6 a piece.....those were hard times.
