As an American, this comment is quite the culture shock!

You absolutely don’t want to eat the skin on an avocado. This photo is like if someone were to bite into a banana without peeling it, but worse.

They don’t grow here, so they are not cheap. In the 90s “Southern fruits” were orange and banana, everything else from outside Europe was too expensive for the common folks. Before the 90s you couldn’t even buy any of that.

Just looked it up on some online local shops, the price is 2-3 USD a piece. Not a kg, one fruit.

Worse?! I couldn’t imagine eating a raw banana peel. We’ve tried making vegan “bacon” out of banana peel once and it was ok-ish. But raw banana peel?

Oh yeah, both would be totally disgusting, but if I had to pick one to take a bite of, I’d choose banana skin over avocado skin every time.
