No kidding. Here in Florida, we're giving them away. It's the end of the season, and FL avocados are almost the size of a football. Driving around in residential areas, there are tables, baskets and trash cans full of them with signs "Free Avocados." They take a full week to ripen after picking or falling from the tree. I just brought in the last three from my tree this afternoon. They will make a whole lot of guacamole.
My favorite sandwich is avocado, cream cheese, sliced tomato and sprouts on whole grain bread. YUM!!
I did the same thing with Bing cherries years ago in San Jose.
Football size? The radio show doctor, Dr Dean Edell was just saying that he eats an avocado a day, sometimes two. He is in the Sacramento area, which probably doesn't have football-size avocados.
That sounds worse than zucchini season here.
As far as stealing avacados... well, I've tried them and can't for the life of me figure out why someone would want one bad enough to steal it.
