Poll for all avocado lovers and haters...

[nd5056]

There are 2 parallel avocado & peanut butter threads. And it got me wondering, how much does the texture influance the food we eat.

So, do avocado lovers prefer smooth peanut butter over the crunchy one? And those prefering the crunchy one dislike the avovado?

Myself, i do prefer smooth over chunky/crunchy and I love avocados. I'll eat it all, but prefer the smooth texture of some things like PB, Deviled Eggs, etc

 

[Floridaman999]

Yep, smooth peanut butter and avocado lover here.

 

[Feralpeg]

I love crunchy peanut butter and I love avocados!

 

[jaybirdsmommy]

Not me, and I will freely admit to having food texture issues. I love avocados and peanut butter in all of its forms.

I hate avocado and prefer crunchy peanut butter, though creamy peanut butter does not gross me out like avocado does.

Ok, but do you dislike any other "creamy" food? Just wondering if you tolerate creamy PB only because you like in in the crunchy form?

Love the texture/taste of avocado, but prefer crunchy peanut butter, but will take it anyway I can get it!! (like my deviled eggs crunchy too - with finely chopped pickles and celery)

I love avocado for both texture and taste. Chunky guac is my favorite because it's just usually so good with tomatoes, cilantro, and chunks of avocado.

I also love smooth and chunky peanut butter equally.

I'm tolerant of most textures unless something is TOO chewy. I've only recently come to like jello again, but not 100% all the time. (Jello shots are best, but I don't even make those because pudding shots are easier and are a much bigger hit.)

The only texture I really don't like is tapioca beads or when you get flavored bubble tea, the gelatinous balls are disgusting.

I'm tolerant of some really weird textures. Like oysters, abalone, octopus, etc. are among my very favorite foods. The only thing I can't do is stringy stuff like celery, and pineapple unless it's just right, and when it is, get out of my way

Couldn't really answer the poll.
I like creamy and crunchy peanut butter and hate avocado.....
Texture has nothing to do with it at all.
IT TASTES NASTY!

Poll updated with 5th choice. But seems like many dislike the avocado for being avocado, texture have nothing to do with it.

There are foods that one will either love or hate, there isn't much left in the neutral zone.

Perhaps avocado is one of those either love it or hate it.

My vote might be slightly overstating things: I voted "love avocado, prefer crunchy peanut butter" but my real answer would be "like avocado in reasonable amounts (in guacaomole, thinly sliced on sandwiches, etc.) but would never eat a whole, plain avocado; Don't really like either kind of peanut butter, but if I have to eat it, I'll choose crunchy."

I do think mine is a little bit texture based. I like avocado, but I need something crunchy with it -- like tortilla chips, or raw onion, or something. Peanut butter is definitely a texture thing.

You missed, "Love avocado; can't stand peanut butter." That's me.

 

[Klayfish]

It's not a texture thing for me. I "prefer" crunchy PB every time, but I still love smooth, so I voted for liking both. I just simply don't like avocados. I can eat some guac dip that has other stuff in it, like a 7 layer dip. But avocado alone...

 

[BrianL]

Ok, but do you dislike any other "creamy" food? Just wondering if you tolerate creamy PB only because you like in in the crunchy form?

Not really. I don't really think avocado has the same texture as creamy peanut butter anyway. I would describe it more a "mushy" than creamy.

I need this option, too!

 

[Mackenzie Click-Mickelson]

I'm rarely a texture kind of person. Smell is probably more attuned to what I don't like. I don't like seafood and the smell of it makes me gag.

But I like avocado either just cut/sliced or combined into a spread or guac. I like creamy peanut butter but as mentioned on the other thread I get a craving for crunchy peanut butter.

But I do know people who don't like certain foods for texture reasons. One of the people I know doesn't like strawberries due to texture.

 

[CynBeth]

I love creamy/smooth PB and avocados.

 

[ronandannette]

Should have had an "Other" category on the poll. I don't like avocado and I actively dislike peanut butter but it's not a texture issue. With peanut butter it's the flavor I can't stand and with avocado it's the distinct lack of flavor.

 

[North of Mouse]

If they're mushy vs creamy, they are waaay too ripe!! They're full of fat, so really they are creamy, but it's a personal issue how people perceive food they eat.
