Oh the humanity! :-)

I don't think that is so shocking. I doubt that my Dad would have recognized an avocado.

[murraymints]

yum yum .. with prawns....

[Old_Geezer]

They've not missed much. Unpleasant tasting things. It's not like they'll want to change to eating them.

[marval]

I agree OG, they are awful tasting.

[237SJ]

^There is no taste at all unless they are made into guacamole

[cashier]

I wouldn't eat one.

[pastafreak]

But 237...they are an ordinary, middle aged couple. Even if they don't eat them, most people know what they are.
How do you know O_G?
mm...drizzled with evoo and dusted with Himalayan salt.

[237SJ]

They are alright if they are mixed with something but they are so fattening..

[NoMercy]

Oh, Pasta, there was a couple in front of me at the checkout the other day. I only had a few salady bits and some wholemeal tortilla wraps for Husband's lunchbox and yet the couple ahead had a small trolleyload of the worst "food" you could imagine. Sugary drinks, Rustler's Burgers, large containers of spicy chicken wings, chocolates, crisps, about 4 loaves of cheap sliced white bread and many other things. Not a fruit nor a vegetable to be seen.

[pastafreak]

I think they are like Marmite...I'm bereft without avocados at least several times per week.

[NoMercy]

237, avocados are widely credited as fat-burning, weight-loss food. Most fat-rich, nutritionally dense foods such as salmon, eggs, nuts and avocados are.

[pastafreak]

Nom...that sounds like this couple...everything in a box. Plus they get takeaways 3-7 times per week...depending on family member.

[pastafreak]

I maintain a very healthy weight...eating all of those, but not nuts. I wouldn't eat low fat if you paid me. ;)

[237SJ]

Nom - there is no such thing as fat burning foods.

[murraymints]

I despair at some trolleys I see... especially if there is a child therein chomping on a big bar of choccie and swigging a coke !
take the flesh out, mash with good olive oil..bit of black pepper...bought some today... perhaps breakfast on some home made granary toast...then again..perhaps supper ! lol

//avocados are widely credited as fat-burning, weight-loss food. //
Not according to Slimming world - 14 syns, as your only have 15 syns for all your non free food it cannot be fat burning.

''if there is a child therein chomping on a big bar of choccie and swigging a coke ! take the flesh out, mash with good olive oil..bit of black pepper''

Do you remove the hair, finger/toe nails and teeth first or does it all go in to the mash?

[pastafreak]

Syns!!??
You lose weight by eating real, unprocessed food. Not by counting points, syns, or...in most cases...calories.
