Anybody eat avacados?

After reading some comments on avacados, I decided to buy some at the store. Thankfully, the clerks at the store helped me pick out some that were ripe.

I need some info though. How do you eat them? Can you just eat them as they are, or do you need to peel them or cook them, or what?

I don’t want to make anything with them, I just want to know if they can be eaten as they are….like a tomato or an orange?

Can someone fill me in? I have never eaten an avacado in any way, so this is all new to me. Anyone?
