A Little About the Avocado

Avocados are a beloved food for the three of us--avocados on sandwiches, avocados with salt, avocados in guacamole, avocados in salad, avocados in pasta, avocados by themselves. We just like to eat them.

The avocado culture is a little different here in Brazil. They eat them with sugar--yes sugar. We make the same face at that suggestion as they do when we tell them we eat them with salt. They like to make breakfast shakes that consist of avocado, milk and sugar. Maybe someday we will try it.

There are also a few people who like to ask us if we like "vacamole." This sounds a lot like the word "guacamole" when they say it quickly. So we reply with an enthusiastic "yes, we love it" and the whole room starts laughing because we have just admitted to loving "wobbly cow."

Maybe someday they will convert us to liking their sugar avocado and we will convert them to liking guacamole, but for now there are two definite sides.

Have a wonderful day!
