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!

There is usually lemon, herbs and spices involved. They are mixed together before being spread on the bread. Sometimes, people may elect to add vegetables.

Oh! A bit of lemon would brighten up the flavor, wouldn't it? And some other things to add texture wouldn't hurt, I suppose.

This is starting to sound more like an open-faced sandwich of some sort than toast.

[bratworth]

There is ordinarily only one slice of toast.

[castcure]

Which makes sense!

Is this something you've had, yourself?

[bratworth]

I've had it from time to time but it is not one of my favorite foods.
