####Q: How do flavors get put on the schedule?
####A: Requests and suggestions from people like YOU!
If there's something you'd like to see, just post a request in this thread. You can request both a specific flavor profile and where it lands on the calendar.
Avocadhoe here! VT Avocado Cream is an incredible, creamy, green banana-ish flavor that is absolute perfection in wolfwheeler's satoru gojo recipe. one of my fave mixes of all time. i recently tried one of wheresandrew's unreleased recipes w FLV Avocado in it + i thought the recipe was amazing, although i couldn't tell you much about FLV Avocado. it's on my wishlist ;)
Idk if I should release that or not. It was made to go with the cauldron theme. I might change the oatmeal and give it a go.
FLV Avocado is a semi hidden gem! I picked it up on Sam’s recommendation from a noted episode where he talked about it being really useful with peanut butter and it is! It’s also really really useful with creams, I found out while experimenting with an ice cream mix I have on ATF and couldn’t believe the difference it made with the added mouthfeel and body . Just a .5% took the half melted feel out of it and added so much body I was blown away. I just figured why not, it’s thick, creamy, a little nutty, let’s see what happens….and wala! In certain mixes it can really push vanilla creams forward as well. I’m surprised it’s not used more, but I’m a nobody so who would hear me🤷🏻♂️lol
Here’s my recipe that uses it, Sorteal talked it about it last week on noted and he really liked it which was really awesome. I love the stuff and wanna put it in everything , I’m gonna change my atf name from Bob B to Bobocado😂

Avocado + FA Salmon Smoked.. GO!
No. No, I don’t think I will.
5 years ago, you would have. You’ve sold out, bro. Gone soft.
I notice that there's something on the schedule that we haven't seen in a long time - empty spaces! The recent week of "Toasted & Roasted Nuts" got me thinking that we haven't covered NUTS in quite a while.
Here's a look at when we last covered nuts . . .
- Aug 13 2018 Peanut Butter (Scheduled for Oct 23 2023)
- Nov 12 2018 Pecan
- May 06 2019 Pistachio
- May 13 2019 Mixed & Misc Nuts (catchall category)
- Mar 23 2020 Almond
- May 04 2020 Hazelnut
- May 11 2020 Macadamia
- Jul 13 2020 Walnut
Does anyone else think it would be good to visit the Nut House every few weeks?

Got FLV Avocado to follow in Fresh03's footsteps (Michelle's Krispy Cremes), it is a pretty good way to add grease but honestly I still reach for cap v1 for that purpose more often.
VT Avocado Cream is a fantastic source for nutty richness. Been really enjoying Avocado Chocolate Mousse + 0.5% LA Cream Cheese Icing + 0.75% WF Chocolate Frosting lately.
These are the only ones I've seen used beyond gag savory recipes, curious to see what you guys will find!
Bet you’re psyched to not have to try the new Fa vanilla popcorn in a few weeks. Kind of sad I’ll never know what sequence of words you’d use to describe it. Seems like humanity will be missing out.
Getting back into mixing (just joined the discord the other day) and I think some funky stuff like avocado might be a fun exercise in redeveloping my tasting skills. I have zero experience with flavors like this lol
