I just ate an avocado for the first time in my life

well there's your problem. You don't know how to eat avocado
Come to think of it, I've only ever had avocado in guacamole, I think. But that's pretty good!
Like someone said, you may also have had a bad avocado, and maybe you should have another just to make sure. I thought mangoes were crap at first because I had one that tasted like salmon that had been out in the sun for a day or two. But now it's one of my favourite fruits.

Avocados were made by god to give the human race a taste of heaven. Eat hass avocado though the others are trash.
Also don't forget to add a bit of salt.

I imagine they were never really a thing in Germany until recently because they're grown on the other side of the world. I also wouldn't be surprised if the avocados available in Germany aren't that great for that reason, but I don't know if that's the case.
They're on the bland side, but I'm happy to eat them sliced up with a little salt and/or a squeeze of lime.

So you just ate it straight up.
You did it wrong. You've got to add it to something else. Or, if you are going to eat it on its own, at least add salt and pepper.
That's my guess too. And I don't know too many people who just eat raw avocado salted or not, it's pretty much always a pair to something else.
Guacamole is fine but yeah avocados on their own are pretty grim. Largely slimy and pretty bland. Come to think of it I don't know if the guacamole is actually decent either really since I only ever use it as a dip for something that's bringing most of the flavour itself.

OP
I'm not sure I have the willpower to try another one with salt, pepper or all the other stuff you posted. If I do and survive it, I'll update the thread. Might take a couple of years or decades though.
Also umami. IIRC they contain a good amount of natural MSG and adding more boosts the flavour ime.
It's not the avocado that is trash, it's your taste buds. You should seek medical help with that
Nothing like giving something a big hit of flavor by virtue of... toast and salt.
What kind of avocados, OP? The avocado game has levels. West coastis king, east coast gets some good ones, Europe in my experience has been a crapshoot. Mostly non-haas big ass ones, which are super sub par. And even the haas ones I had were 50/50. Some were what I want and expect, some much less so, be it from just being not good, or very commonly not being ripe enough.
That said, it's fat. It's nature's butter as far as taste and texture. Subtle, fatty, smooth, creamy.
Your loss though. They're expensive, 1 less consumer to hike the prices up further.
Also you can pulverize/process it with a bunch of cocoa powder and some sugar (and a pinch of salt) to make a really delicious dark chocolate pudding. It sounds gross but it's actually pretty great imo.
Also GOAT tier vegan sandwich lube. The applications of avocados are staggering so I pity anyone who can't see their potential.

It's feeling like avocado is the new bacon. People hyping it up to the heavens, like bacon some years ago. Avocado is good, guac is good, but it's never an absolute essential for me. I'll always take it when it's there. But I never catch myself thinking man, this needed avocado.

I'm sorry you have bad taste OP.
Either that or you bought a bad avocado.
If you don't like it plain, then you probably just don't like it.
I add sliced avocado to my sandwiches sometimes and its delicious. And even though its a meme, avocado toast is pretty good as well.

I didn't like the taste of an avocado but you eventually get use to it. It's really good to me now
well that was not a good idea, if you just added like a mustard sauce in the seed hole and then ate it with a spoon, it would have been great.
Thank you, I don't actively dislike their actual taste as much as you (not a fan though), but they truly are an overrated trend food.
Also, for the raw avocado detractors, you know there's a window of ripeness for them right? Like with any fruit or vegetable? You have to get them or wait for them to be just a little soft to the touch. You don't want them mushy, but just right before that state.
Avocado is not intended to be eaten alone. What's next, you are going to tell me you hate chiles too? :(
As another poster said, eating avocado with a spoon is about as appealing as eating butter with a spoon. At least spread it on some bread or something.
chocolate protein powder + avocado + banana + "milk" of your choice? tastes like chocolatey air!
...blend it, of course.

Now i'm imagine OP biting into an avocado, skin and all like an apple lol
Eating an avocado by itself it like eating an onion by itself, it's not how its meant to be eaten.
They have a limited shelf life too... I find buying them in stores they're never ripe enough or too ripe.
I can't remember the taste but biting into an unripe avocado is absolutely disgusting.
You don't eat avocado by itself. At least not at the beginning.
You eat avocado by itself once you're obnoxious about how good avocado is.

Me and just about anyone I know in Mexico is comfortable eating avocado alone. At least a slice or 2. Anyone who turns their nose up at is is being the weird one.
You're fine OP.
I slowly introduced myself to avocado by eating guacamole, it had to have lime and pico mixed.
From there I started eating avocado slices straight with egg and toast.
All it takes is a bad one to keep me from eating them for a long time. I don't know what it is that if I eat a bad piece, every one after that tastes as bad. We had a recall a couple months ago so I don't know if that impacted anything.
