 JW> Title: Non-Guac Ways To Eat The Avocado

 JW> -1- cut into wedges or chunks, battered, and fried, a crisp shell
 JW> forms around each little avocado nugget, which softens just slightly
 JW> so that it's even more buttery than in its ripe raw form. At Izzoz
 JW> Tacos in Austin, it's served with arugula and cotija cheese in a
 JW> fresh flour tortilla. - Carey Jones

 JW> -2- dip slices of ripe avocado in soy sauce. It works in sushi
 JW> rolls, right?  - Maggie Hoffman

 JW> -3- in salads like the one from The Cottage in La Jolla: mixed
 JW> greens with shrimp, crab, avocado, and hearts of palm, tossed in
 JW> lemon-basil vinaigrette. - Jessica Leibowitz

 JW> -4- in breakfast tacos of warm, flaky tortillas, fatty, spicy
 JW> chorizo and potato with eggs.- Ed Levine 

 JW> -5- in Vietnamese shakes. Combine avocados, ice, milk, and condensed
 JW> milk in a blender. - Robyn Lee

Avocado combined with sweetened condensed milk was a favourite with my
children when young.  At that time we had 2 avocado trees in the yard.

 JW> -6- to garnish a spinach and orange salad. - Carrie Vasios

 JW> -7- mashed as a sandwich spread. - Christine Tsai (Along with
 JW> Marmite instead of salt! - Keios)

 JW> -8- mashed With small, oily Fishes, whether sardines or anchovies in
 JW> Whole-wheat toast sandwiches - Erin Zimmer

 JW> -9- in a bowl of ajiaco, the potatoey, chickeny, caper-studded soup
 JW> that originated in the Andes in Colombia. A few slices of bright and
 JW> creamy fuerte avocados is a prerequisite for dunking into the thick
 JW> broth.   -J. Kenji Lopez-Alt

 JW> -10- chunk some avo into a small bowl, pour in a little milk, and
 JW> sprinkling with a spoon of sugar. Almost like a bowl of cereal,
 JW> except better. - Annie NT 

 JW> -11- try it with steak. Each bite of steak you cut off, top it with
 JW> a schmear of avocado. The creaminess works so well with the salty,
 JW> savoury meatiness. - JulietRomeo 

 JW> -12- Cut into chunks, place them aboard Triscuits, dust with salt,
 JW> pepper and granulated garlic. Served at parties they evaporate fast.
 JW> - Littauer 

 JW> -13- Slices of avocado with ricotta on toast, tomato and avocado
 JW> salad, with seafood (fish, shrimp and crab cakes), on top of a
 JW> baguette and fresh cheese (like a cotija) - millier 

 JW> -14- I love to add avocado pieces to my tortilla soups or veggie
 JW> sancocho, very similar to an ajiaco, in a wrap or burrito or even a
 JW> regular sandwich... tomatoes, avocado and fresh mozzarella is
 JW> glorious. And in a salad dressing (eg. Green Goddess) is also
 JW> divine. - Karma Free Cooking  

 JW> -15- to replace the butter in quickbreads - lemon fair 

-16- Split, remove stone, and fill the hollow with lemon juice.  When
scooping out the flesh take some juice with the avocado.  Glen's fav.
