I've come to appreciate the avocado here. It's less mushy and doesn't have the weird bitter fibers I'm used to back home. Whenever I crave food, but I'm not in the mood to cook, it's avocado to the rescue. Savory? Avocado spread on bread + a squeeze of lemon + pepper + salt. Sweet? Avocado mashed up in a bowl + a squeeze of lemon + sugar + milk.

Savory -- and maybe I can stand to cook a little bit? Toast + avocado + fried egg on top.

I could probably just be content with avocado on bread all day long, if I had an infinite supply of avocado and bread :)

The lemon is an addition I just discovered today. I wondered if it would work, and Google turned up a bunch of results saying it would -- thanks Google! -- so I tried it. Adding lemon makes the avocado taste just a little brighter, emphasizing the taste of the avocado instead of overpowering it.

I find that half an avocado at a time works best; if I try to use up the whole thing, I'm too full. So I end up with a snack now, dessert later.... mmm :)
