Are there people in the world who don't like avocado?

Yeah. Ick. It's a texture thing. On a sandwich or something, fine. Guac? Spoonful of slime.
:-) sorry.

While we're on the topic, what's the difference between hass avocados & those big green Florida ones? Besides growing location & appearance, I mean. Does the big green one still taste like a traditional hass avocado? Can it be used the same way? They sell them here, but I always buy hass.

The big green ones are watery and gross. They're marketed as being low fat avocados and aren't worth the fat that they do have.
