May month - Avocado time

[blue-and-green]

Avocados in season in South Africa, got myself a realy good one a few days ago in Sainsburys, like usual, buy a fresh crusty bread too, mash up the avocado, add salt and pepper and mayonaise and smear generously on fresh bread, mmmm, try it!!
Full of the much needed Vit B6 and Protein, so a good food for vegetarians, nevermind the diet, i can eat them everyday!
as for green avocados, when pressed and still hard, keep them wrapped up in newspaper in a dark cupboard till soft and ripe.
my friend nearly put me off avocado when he added an unripe one to a salad recipe, and now i see why he doesnt like them.

They may be in season in South Africa but I don't see how that helps us, still a bl**dy long way away!!!! I do like them but only ever buy them as a special treat due to the food miles involved.
