Scoop out the flesh, add a squeesze of lime, finely chopped garlic and chilli then mash it all up roughly with a fork. Eat it with the biggest bag of dorritis you can find.

Once it's ripe, scoop out the flesh, remove the stone and fill the middle with prawn cocktail.

Smash it up, mix with a bit of lemon juice and put it on toast. With bacon or smoked salmon and egg with a runny yolk.

I love Mexican chunky guacamole. I also add coriander and chopped red onion. I had it in Mexico like that and was addicted.

Make sure they're soft enough, but not gone over. Slice and layer with crispy bacon on crusty bread.

I like them just with a pinch of salt as an easy lunch too.

How have you managed to avoid avocados for so long?

Halve lengthways, remove the stone (stick a knife in lengthways and lift is easiest), fill the space left by the hole with vinaigrette, eat with a spoon. Delicious and easy.

Or, my favourite tricolore salad. You only need tomatoes, mozzarella, basil and sliced avocado. A bit of salt, a bit of black pepper, extra virgin olive oil and a dash of balsamic vinegar.

Get a tortilla. Put cheese on it. Add sliced avocado. Heat oil in a pan. Put the tortilla in the pan for a minute. Take it out and put it on tin foil. Fold it in half then fold again. Wrap it up and pop in in the oven for 10 mins. That with sour cream and salad x

With you there Guacamole is utterly addictive, I eat loads of it as a dip or as a side dish.

Just be careful getting the stone out (says the woman who stuck a 10 inch knife through her left palm and has the scar to prove it in a classic case of avocado hand)

This sort of thing definitely! Really nice on sourdough toast, and really great with some fried halloumi.

Leon do smashes avo and halloumi muffins with a little slightly hot tomato sauce for breakfast and they’re delicious!

I know people that have done that. I just gently squeeze it out. It’s going to be mashed anyway x

All possible with a spoon. Not a wooden on, though.

Or, turn it into a smoothie. It's like green cream.

They need to be ripe! Most from English supermarkets are rock hard.

A ripe avo should give a bit when you squeeze it.

Rock hard avos are horrible.Give it time to ripen.

I frequently get strange looks fondling the avocados in my local tesco...

Toasted sourdough, bacon, poached eggs and avocado = perfect breakfast

If you only use half, leave the stone in the other half & closely wrap with cling film.

Try growing avocado from the stone rather than binning it. Great instruction video on YouTube. It takes a while to start but then when the shoots start, it grows quickly.

You have to Roast them in the oven for at least 4 hours at 475F /245C Gas Mark 9 before they are even remotely edible
