Pickled avocado?
Is there such a thing? I have googled both th net and this group and
haven't found anything that mentions it per se (but that doesn't mean much). Somebody over on r.f.c. brought it up, so I just thought I'd ask here. Thanks. -- Cheers Chatty Cathy |

There is a type of avocado I've had over the border in Mexico that is very small and the skin is so tender it doesn't have to be peeled. Really. I've tasted it and everything. I'm thinking that one might take to pickling when a bit firm still, but one cannot bring uncooked avocado over (it doesn't say uncooked, just have to be pitted, but who cooks avocado anyway?). Interesting idear - what herb/spice? The pickled walnuts taste like worcestershire sauce. Cilantro might be a given, perhaps basil? tarragon? mint? oregano? Edrena |

How about an unripe one? Like using an unripe mango in chutney? It sounds pretty unappealing to me; I like my avocadoes ripe. -- -Barb, Mother Superior, HOSSSPoJ http://web.mac.com/barbschaller, and here's the link to my appearance on "A Prairie Home Companion," <http://prairiehome.publicradio.org/ programs/2008/08/30/> |

Never met a mango that I liked either, even when I owned a piece of a 10 hectare mango plantation in the Philipines. They just taste astringent to me. |

I don't think there's anything you can do to avocado that would make me like them but, Gerry loves them so she looks after my share. But, speaking of mangoes and chutney, we've been preserving quite a few different chutneys over the past week or so. Tuesday is our usual trip to town day and we intend to pick up some green mangoes at one of the local Asian markets for the next batch, Mango-Apple. Surfing around the 'Net I ran across many warnings about green mangoes, something I'd never heard before. Here's a C&P. "Caution: Handling green mangoes may irritate the skin of some people in the same way as poison ivy. (They belong to the same plant family.) To avoid this reaction, wear plastic or rubber gloves while working with raw green mango. Do not touch your face, lips or eyes after touching or cutting raw green mangoes until all traces are washed away." Having just recently completed a regimen of prednisone for a rather severe run in with poison ivy, I think I'll follow the rubber glove advice. Ross. |

I heard Madhur Jaffrey, raving about the ones from her native India, in an interview about her book, _Climbing the Mango Trees_. She said it was practically impossible to get a decent mango in the US. Now that the import restrictions have been altered, maybe it's possible to get better ones. I certainly haven't seen them yet. I've made mango salsa a few times and each time the mangoes were practically tasteless. Isabella -- "I will show you fear in a handful of dust" -T.S. Eliot |

Ew. That sounds about as appealing as pickled butter, to me. I mean, really, avocado, as yummy as I think it is, is mostly just a glob of fat.

First time I ever ate it was in Thailand when I was there on R&R and fell in love with the fruit and the country. Unfortunately what I can get here is usually either over ripe or green so it's not as good. |

But at my brother's... was odd to be in a place where mangos and papayas just grew everywhere, and my sister-in-law was complaining that plums and peaches were $12 a pound. B/ |

Those folks eat hotter food than Latinos IMHO. Generally had to ask for Thai foods that could be eaten by chicken touristas. They're such polite people it didn't bother them at all. |

Som Tam is Definitely hot, when made right! My wife, Jun, and her girl friends, shovel it down. I can handle a couple of forkfuls. ;-) -- Nick.
