This may sound stupid, but I just cut an avocado in half and want to keep the other half. I think I need to take out the stone, right? Or leave it? Thanks

Leave stone in and rub olive oil onto flesh(avocado)
wrap with clingfilm

.....and then throw it straight in the feckin Vera Lynn - disgusting looking things with a texture like congealed mucus, and no taste whatsover.

IMO. of course

Arent they the most unhealthy fruit you can buy? Loads of fat in them IIRC.

I think that's a myth about the lonely avocado. They are high in monounsaturated oil which usually gets lumped into the fat content.

I'm with Ozzy - eat it, and chuck the stone in the bin. no
clingfilm, no storage problems, no need to eat for a while

Rub lemon juice on the flesh & refrigerate, it stops it going brown (it works for me, I'm the only one in my family who eats them, lovely with coleslaw )

Thanks for the tips.

As I didnt get an answer immediately, I threw the stone away and put it in clingfilm without oil or lemon.

I'd rather use olive oil, which we consume plenty of here in Southern France / Italy than lemon.

Anyway, no worries, gf came back from the USA and was hungry so I sliced it and made her a nice vinaigrette with it (mustard, balsamic vinegar (from Modena, like the shïtty Ferraris) salt, pepper and mixed to a nice creamy consistency with oilive oil.

But still, Thanks for the tips!

Oh, and avocado is unsaturated vegatal fat and the ones I get here have quite some taste! And it's very good with that vinaigrette I made, or with shrimps and cocktail sauce amongst others

Mmmm, avocado... lovely! Parma ham, avacado, sliced peppers and mayo makes an amazing baguette filling. My girlfriend does a mean chicken, avocado and mango salad too

You can't tell I skipped brekkie this morning can you?
