I have actually celebrated the holiday in Mexico, in Mexico City. I ended up not feeling the greatest as I hadn't acclimated to the altitude. I still did my best to celebrate. (I've been south of the border many times, including numerous visits to South America.)
But...
Try like I might... I just don't like avocadoes. I want to like them. I just don't like the flavor. I've tried to eat it all sorts of times - and I'll eat the strangest of things. The list of things I've eaten is long and storied, but I just don't like avocado. I fully realize that that means I'm broken inside.
My partner is not a fan, either, but there are other members of our family who enjoy them like me.
Sharing About Avocado Trees - No Linux Content - Can Be Safely Ignored:
We have two avocado trees in our backyard - the Lamb Hass avocado tree is finally yielding a small amount of fruit after about 7 or 8 years. Last year we planted a Bacon avocado tree to be a nearby pollinator for the Lamb Hass.
There are two major varieties of avocado trees, Type A and Type B. Both have male and female flowers that open on alternate days. The flowers open in one gender in the morning. The other gender flower opens on the alternate afternoon. The flowers open in matched alternating sets for the bees to pollinate them. Male A flowers and female B flowers are open at the same time. In a similar fashion, the female A flowers and male B flowers are open at the alternate time.
Don't ask me how flowering is coordinated between type A and type B avocado trees. Speculating wildly, I assume that avocado trees communicate using
TCP/IP-over-pheromones. (My term ... I just made it up ... and heck yeah I will write the RFC some year on 1 April.)
In case anyone cares, the Lamb Hass variety is a type A, and the Bacon variety is a type B. The popular Hass avocado is a type A.
We chose the original Lamb Hass as much for its expected tree size as the quality of its fruit. Lamb Hass trees grow smaller than a regular Hass avocado tree. I planted the Bacon tree not so much for the fruit, but as a type B pollinator for the Lamb Hass.
The primary problem that we have with our avocados is the competition between us and the local squirrels and raccoons for when to harvest them. The fruit must stay on the tree a long time, and the critters like to nibble at them to test them for ripeness. If you harvest them too soon, they are flavorless and maintain the hard rubber texture of car tires, even after a multi-week ripening time on the kitchen counter. :-(
