Not if you don't get your thumbs caught.

doesn't the almost black mole sause look unattractive with the avacado green?

(and not trying to make it a food thread, but how many whack do you need to make a whack a mole? how many does its serve? and do you serve it with nuts? (fresh, frozen or chopped?!)

Well, actually, Helen, I took "whack a mole" as a wordplay on guacamole. Kentucky being where it is, we haven't yet had a vast influx of Hispanics, and here the word is pronounced gwa-ka-MOE-lee. I have no idea whether that is correct--I suspect not.

I originally learned origin of "avocado" as coming from Spanish for lawyer. Never heard logic of it. Looking it up now, dictionary says it is from Soanish word for "testicle". Because of its shape. That makes the name as tasteless as the fruit.

Oh Uncle Bill....avocados are very tasty fruit....I never noticed the testicular shape (till now)....hmm....not necessarily a turn-off
