I once had avocado "fries".
Slicese of avocado, lightly breaded, fried quickly... litle crispy outside, warm and melty inside. They were wooooonderful.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

You talking to me, ita? Fully admit never being to Jamaica. My sole experience with sublime avocados was Moz. FOOTBALLS OF NOMNESS. Rest of the time it was domestic US: US southwest and now US NE. Which sucks, frankly. Even for guac.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I'm pretty sure I disclaimed 2G1C.
My memory is that you said you weren't clicking on the link. That was enough warning for me. I've manage to avoid seeing it thus far.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I ate half the avocado with lime and salt and half with sugar.
And yeah, avocados are one of the things that I turn my nose up at since they didn't grow on my grandmother's tree, but it was still good. Just not life-changingly good.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What the fuck is your problem, woman? Time it right, and you can have pear from our back yard.

I did end up looking. It's worse than goatse, because it moves. It goes on and on. And there's only the 1C.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
You just say that because you've never had the buttery goodness of a fresh-from-the-tree Jamaican pear.
I am so willing to try this too.
Mmmm, I love avocados. I even like only decent ones. But good avocados are bliss.

Do your parents take in strays? More important, will they let me nom a pear or lots and stay elsewhere while telling them they raised a lovely person? I WANT PEAR.
I am not even hungry but I am totally craving avocado like mad now.

Depending on when you go you can score, I think, pear, cherries, breadfruit, and at least three varieties of mango. Hmm. I think maybe also bananas and limes or oranges or grapefruits.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
My sole experience with sublime avocados was Moz.
Apropos of nothing, 'moz' is Arabic for 'banana'.
More to the point, from my angle, bananas are Ryan's favourite fruit, and second word (after 'shoe'). And, thanks to the Queensland floods, now over $12/kilo.
