love them squished onto brown soda bread (mcc*mbridge's) with salt! yum!! i often have it for my lunch, it's good fuel for breastfeeding! had a bad one recently, it was underripe, rubbery, disgusting! no, they have to be just right. for newcomers, (the grownups): start with guacamole! tortilla chips with a nice spicy guacamole was what got me hooked on them... and they are healthy things on their own. in my case, i think the good oils in the avocado by far outweigh the few grains of salt that i sprinkle on! can't wait to start BLW (in about 4 weeks), subscribing to this blog now.
