Avacados, are called "palta" down here. I'm almost, (almost) embarrassed to tell you that we buy them by the kilo down here. Every Thursday the wife goes to the marcado and avacados sell for $1.50 for 2.2 POUNDS. Yikes are they good.

That's a good deal for the 'cados. We pay a LOT more for them here, hence the desire to put a tree in the backyard. Most of the ones available here are the Hass. Do you know what variety you have there?

mmmmmmmmmmm... I LOVE avocado. My kids don't care for them, but I don't think a salad is complete without them.


Good Tuesday Morning FReeople

I guess they're still too mad at the Mayans to use their word for testicle to describe the fruit (it's a vegetable!)...
