Avocado juice is very popular over here, usually with a spiral of chocolate milk round the inside of the glass.

all this talk of avocadoes is making me sad....I like 'em but can't eat 'em. They doesn't agree with me.  Enjoy, you lucky people whose guts don't gripe over 'em!

The Haas avocado has the most flavor. That is the avocado with the pebbly dark skin. At it's peak of ripeness, when gently squeezed, it gives but doesn't gush. Don't eat the brown bruised flesh, only the green/yellow flesh. Try spreading it on saltines with just a pinch of salt........ummmmmm [eyes closed in exstacy-e] Best when consumed in the tropics

Thanks a lot everyone.
Unfortunately, I wont't be collecting a 20$ from my hubby since the bet involved the folks in our office.
I think some of you may be right though, the French influence in Québec could have made the word rarer. We have adopted many French words into our vocabulary that are not in any other English-speaking country.
And Haas avocados are definitely *the* best. Mmmmmm, pitted with diced shrimps in the centre and a light creamy dressing on top,mmmmmmmmm.
