Highly Enriched Avocado.RSS

What would you do with it.

Avocado > Torched > Salted > La Tourangelle Avocado Oil > Vac Seal 100% > Very Tasty.

F.Y.I.   LA TOURANGELLE IMHO makes  the best oils on the market.

It would definitely make an interesting Guaca-modern but is exceptionally delicious with just a grating of lime zest.
