I am hungry, which is enough justification for the following post. My fancy has turned towards avocado, but what is this exotic food?

Technically it is a berry, with a rich delicious, soft green fruit inside a darker green skin, which has the the scientific name of Persea Americana.

It  comes originally from  Mexico, running all the way down to the Pacific coast of  Central America. 

It was used in the 1700s as a spread for biscuits, which led to the name “midshipman’s butter.”

And now, that is exactly how I am going to eat mine, as a spread on toast. Smacznego:)
