I just checked Lapis' "In The Raw" blog and there are a few avocado-related articles there for you to enjoy, should you wish to. Avocado is wonderful, and I do believe it is something of an acquired taste: a distinctive but subtle flavour that grows in intensity with the rekindling of the taste buds.
You know, I have never tasted a fig, and I so desperately wish to! I did taste a dried fig once, but I found that to be quite disgusting. (I am not a fan of dried fruits!)
It is great to read that you are feeling good! Your "crap" cravings will subside, so this is not something to trouble yourself with. And "stick it out" for as long as you can! You can conduct your own "raw for 30 days" experiment on yourself...
