APPEARANCE Rating: 




Average sized avocado with black and gorgeous red skin – reminds me of a black widow if black widows were the size of a human fist. Yikes – sorry no one wants think about that right before eating something.
AROMA Rating: 




None
TEXTURE Rating: 




Creamy and soft with some strings. A little more dense than most with a slightly dry, pasty mouth feel. Also the peel was really thick, had-to-sharpen-my-knife-and-still-struggled thick.
TASTE Rating: 




Somewhat bland as far as avocados go. Nice but nothing to holler about.
OVERALL Overall Rating: 




I like that this avocado has spunky coloring. That kind of thing is going to get me every time. I mean aren’t we all a little bored of girls in little black dresses at the party – let’s see more red sequins please and maybe some feather boas! But I digress. Other than that, this avocado is ho hum de dum. I had to doctor it up with garlic and salt in order to eat it and even then, some was left in the bowl . That is extremely sad for an avocado at my house. Next.
