Awwwwwwww...
Perhaps its wood could be used for a display table, upon which, each year's
winner proudly sits.
And maybe they should glue a bit of velcro to the avocado skin and some on a
red velvet cushion upon which the winner could sit... ofcourse to keep it
from rolling off, but also to make it more difficult to steal. What a
bummer that someone would steal the winnter!
Every once in a while I can't find the Haas type and end up buying one of
those big (watery) FLA types. They're sweeter, and I bet would actually be
better in desserts and soups -- I notice that those are the only kind you
can find in Caribbean shops.
