I can't find any specific references in the archives, but I was told when I

started the diet that if you could find sugar free bacon that it didn't have to

be cooked crisp and you could have it often if it didn't bother you.

I hope a moderator will chime in here.

Take a sharp thick knife (like a chef's knife not a steak knife) and hit the pit with it. The knife should stick in. Hit it hard so it has a good grip. Twist the knife pulling the pit out.Just DO NOT try to stab the point of the knife into the pit. Avocado pits can be slippery. Might not turn out well. <looks at scar on hand> Peace =)Alyssa 16 yo UC April 2008, dx Sept 2008SCD June 2009 (restarted)Azathioprine 75 mg 1x per dayPrednisone 30 mg 1x per day

Misty, right but if you can't find sugar free bacon, you can have regular bacon once a week fried crisp.

 

Will wait for a moderator...I think we are not in disagreement.

I use a large spoon and scoop it out of the husk  They can be tricky so if you scoop and pull the pit out with your hand, you should be ok.  Use the knife to vertically hit the seed, twist and pull--don't have to hit hard.  It sticks usually.  Just do it slowly ;-).

Hmm, never thought dealing with an avocado was that hard! I usually cut

slices all the way to the pit and they just peel off the pit, but

sometimes I halve it, and I usually take a spoon (grapefruit spoon works

well) to loosen the pit on the side it sticks to. I definitely will not

stab it with a knife: I'm sure I'd lose this one!

I spoon it out and usually pull the pit and eat what's left on the pit ;-).  I agree, not happy with the iron chef tricks lol.
