Hello everyone,

I've found that I've had more time to spend working on the culinary arts, as of late, and this has given me the chance to use many ingredients that are new and unfamiliar to me... or at least oddly named. I'm looking for some advice in regards to the following fruit:

[Attached is a picture of an avocado.]

What would you call this? Where I'm from, I've always known it as an alligator pear. I've only ever seen it used for a particular sort of salad... or simply eaten on bread. Is there anything else to be done with it?

Also, since the subject is somewhat related, why would the people here call a rolanberry a strawberry, of all things?

I look forward to your responses!

I'm glad to know that there are so many things to do with them! I have quite a few to use up. A friend turned up a small basket worth, and said they'd been on sale. Now that I have a proper name for them, I'm sure I'll be able to find some recipes.

Though I don't suppose you'd be able to tell me what a tortilla is?

ok abrochate el cinturon because this is going to blow your mind

sometimes you've got certain kinds of food that are just so good you got to eat with your hands. forks? spoons? forget that. but that's messy, and if you're not prepared and you don't have a napkin or towel around you're kind of screwed, all you got is your pants or your nice blusa that are ready for nasty stain central

introducing the revolutionary eating utensil that, listen to this

you can eat also

welcome to tortillas



think of it like bread, but flat. and like a hundred times better. beans? eat it with a tortilla. soup? eat it with a tortilla. carne asada (basically grilled beef, like a steak)? damn right you better eat that with a tortilla! salsa? cut it up in triangles and toast those tortilla triangles now BAM you got chips. want bigger chips? toast it whole BAM you got a tostada. they're made of flour, either corn or wheat. granted there's other kinds too like blue corn which is probably really weird to look at for a stranger since it's like que chingado es eso that bread is BLACK but trust me its safe

Bless you and your tortilla post

[castcure]

Oh! A very thin flatbread! The kind I was taught to make is a bit thicker than that! You can certainly fold it and tear it, but I imagine a tortilla rolls and folds much better?

I think I'd like to learn to make those, too! Do you think I'll find a recipe somewhere around here? I don't suppose you'd know one?

you're welcome it made me very hungry

Girl guess what you can put food in it, roll it up, now you have yourself a burrito. It was made for ingenuity and the endless imagination of the hungry masses to devour as much of multiple things at once.

Lucky for you I know just the recipe for handmade tortillas. Granted it depends on if this city has the right ingredients, but the most you need is flour, salt and water. Mix that up. Roll and flatten your dough. Fry it up on some oil, but not too long. That's about it.

And if you rolled it up tightly enough, I imagine it would be easy to carry along with you?

This city definitely has flour, salt, and water. And the flour more or less behaves like I expect flour to. So it's an unleavened dough?
