What you can do with an avocado

Lately I have been fanatical about avocados. I remember I didn't like them at all in my younger years, but thank god, people change! Now I am craving avocados almost everyday! Yes, they are high in fat, but it's good fat! Not the kind of fat you get in fast food. Put some mashed avocado on a sandwich and put some amount of salt. YUMMY! Unfortunately avocados are very expensive in China as it is an imported product (around 80rmb/kg). Just walk instead of taking the taxi and you feel better saving some kuais. You can find avocados in most foreign grocery stores like city shop or even carrefour.
