In the lack of other replies.... we have had avocado toast today, with olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
In salads, chicken and bacon, Tuna, salade nicoise.
Do you have any other info about what you are looking for?

The BBC is a good source of things that appeal to the English:

Alternatively, Delia Smith is one of the best known English chefs from that time:

Avocado should be a prohibited substance.

I once read of a scheme which aimed to produce petrol from avocados. Best use I can think of for them.

wonderful guacamole from these folk - their dietary cook books are brilliant by the way...sensible as to the carbs and delish to the taste

New judge always pops in with his opjnion of avocados. I think we get it...but it won't stop those of us who like them from posting.

I guess it's a bit like me or Lady J (or now Apc) with the dreaded evil called bananas. He is forgiven.

"Enthusiast", please Pixie, enthusiast. I was a train spotter until I was about eleven. That lead to my lifelong enthusiasm. :-)
