So, you just have to say,"Tryyy it... You'llll like iiiit", and then hope they don't say,"So, I tried it... Thought I was gonna die!!" LOL I've never heard of eating avocados with sugar, but at first thought, it sounds revolting. lol But, I guess I could try it.

I've eaten an avocado+sugar+creme de leite dessert that was pretty good. Blended it all up to make a pudding.

Pode ser. Just my experience. I could barely get my Brazilian family to try anything, and they made the 'ick' face at everything I described.

It's ok, more for me! [/QUOTE]

Maybe you just have to make the food, and let them try it, without telling them what it is first. But then you might have to share again.

Have the same issues with these "originals" here. They can't believe anything but rice, crappy meat and feijao is edible.

2 years ago I build a huge, 2 tons of bricks, churrasco + smoker (combined with one chimney). Everybody was asking WTF is that chamber on the side of the grill. It has two big 1/4" thick steel doors. One in the lower part, where you put the fire, the other higher where you have 2 racks and the smoke goes through this chamber to the chimney. They were like: "You stupid grazy gringo, are you serious, smoked food??? How you can cook food with smoke???"

After 6 kilos of smoked Tucunare, they were sold for it.

My wifes father (lives in the Bolivian border) said later, that he saw this kind of thing in the past somewhere in the jungle river, where some pescadores smoked pork and fish.

Now they are asking when we have something smoked. They even like the smoked brisket (problem to find proper cut, though).

The Finnish style rye bread and rye rice/potato pastels are all mine, nobody, except my wife, likes that stuff.

life's too short to be living without you, babe.

Just made avacado ice cream today. Delish! Avacado, natural milk and sugar blended first then put in the ice cream maker. If anybody wants the recipe, just let me know.

Warm Regards,
Teri

I personally happen to like Shiraz red wine, that if I'm not mistaken, originally came from Australia. .

Shiraz = Syrah; genetically identical to the French grape simply made in a different style.

Guacamole makes them puke.

Here they make 'Vitamina' from Avocado:
Milk, Avocado and a ton of sugar in the blender.

They call it vitamina because there's a fruit in the milk.

They offer it to me but I always tell them that I get my vitamins by eating Pizza with ketchup. Ketchup is made of tomatoes which contain a lot of vitamins.

Heh, I thought that eating avocado with salty stuff was gross when the concept was first presented to me ;) I had always eaten it with sugar and a bit of lime :)

Now, if someone could set me up with a Dr. Pepper dealer, I'd be very happy indeed :D

There used to be 7up around here about 15-20 years ago, no clue if it tasted the same and the US one though.
