How very nice to have a nephew who grows them and brings them to his favorite Aunt! :-)
Avacados became "the rage" in the USA sometime in the 1920s; IIRC. It was seen as something very "POSH" and served as an appetizer and/or in a salad and were called ALLIGATOR PEARS.
yes,
I remember the name.
Yes, I just learned I have a nephew and he got into the family biz ... he works at Cal Poly as an agricultural advisor. And Ventura, CA is having a family reunion of the founding fathers [almost all farmers] so we are going to all the events. Lost a good friend in the Malibu fires ... he was a member of the band The Challengers, so we are having a huge “wake” on the beach in Malibu coming up. My nephew and I will go i hope.
Hope all is well.
