I really don’t like avocados. Taste, sludgy texture even the colour. Now they can induce knife injuries! Dangerous things. To be avoided! Ban! |  | | |

An Avacado filled with prawns - lovely stuff. |  | | |

Aha
A good advert for having a properly sharp knife |  |

Dear god, that’s a starter hell.
I don’t like the taste or texture of prawns either. | | | |

Thanks for the paywall-dodging gist.
The best avocados I’ve found are no-nonsense Waitrose ripe and ready, non-organic. Huge, full of flavour (absent from others, and I’ve tried most) and perfectly ripe as described.
They’re also great nutritionally, chocka with vits, mins, right kind of fats, fibre, bit of protein. |  |

Thanks but no thanks for the potential next unnecessary back of cupboard unused gadget.
Never injured myself yet opening hundreds of avocados with a small serrated knife despite reduced feeling and mobility in fingers.
Haven’t read paywalled article, maybe the injuries referenced were more to do with the number of glasses of vino consumed prior to attempts to open the fruit? | |

You might be right:
Wagner adds that he believes that these injuries become more frequent during April through July due to people cooking and barbecuing outside for social occasions, which may lead to more carelessness. The hand surgeon noted: “A lot of the people I see were at a family event when it happened and alcohol was involved.”
(From the linked article)
BUT they are also talking about THOUSANDS of hand injuries, so the odds may not be as good as you think.
Wait until they are ripe and use a plastic knife, even one of those "disposable" ones with a serrated blade, and a spoon to remove the stone. |  | | |

Health food can be bad for you...
I know someone who had barley for breakfast, maize for lunch and corn for tea. He went out for a job and got run over by a combined harvester.
True story, i think. |  | | |

Having cut it in half, the easiest way I've found to get the nut out of a half avocado without damaging the flesh is using my teeth but I do sometimes wonder if there a risk I might swallow and choke on it. [Post edited 31 Jul 15:50]

So both times I've had "Avacado hand" was trying to get the nut out - went for the stab whilst holding the Avacado - normally works fine - but nut was super soft - knife straight through nut and into hand.
Of course being an idiot helps - was sober this time (last time was drunk)

Although if you have a blunt knife you can’t stab yourself! |  |

Are you living in Norfolk or something? Other parts of the country have developed small curved out kitchen implements called ’spoons’. | |

100% especially when you do what I do and add bacon to the mix.
Avocado, bacon and sourdough toast. Bang. |  | | |

now doing that when opening oysters is a much more respectable injury.
i had a friend who took the end of his finger off with a mandoline slicer. |  |
