mexican, as far as I know, avocados are definitely seasonal in the Philippines, and as such, would not be available year-round.

one day, our gardener showed up with a bucketful of bacon avocados. they are so huge with just a tiny seed and a with a thick flesh. they are far better than the fuerte and haas varieties.
when fully ripe, it has the consistency of butter and with no fibers whatsoever.

Seems like Carol is right. I was debating wether to buy the round or elongated avocados until I remembered her tip. It was really a lot better than the round ones I bought the previous week. It was less fibrous and the flesh was almost buttery.

Yap, the Aztecs seem to be apt with their name for the avocado! I could not imagine if we Visayans had named it first. Anyway, that’s another tree where we used to have a treehouse and we used to bring milk, sugar and crushed ice up with us and have our really, really fresh avocado milkshakes!
