Guest guest Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Many of the avocados come from Fallbrook and I know 2 ranches who lost their trees in the fires Donna Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile " genny_y2k " <genny_y2k Sun, 16 Dec 2007 17:37:55 Avocados??? Where did all the Avocados go??? Not a single *US* 'Aligator Pear' in my markets this year. All were from South America and were very expensive. Wondering if something happened to the California crop. I am so hungry for Guacamole that I would be willing to trade lots of snow for some ripe Avocados..LOL Guess I will give up and make one of the delicious salsa recipes in our files.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 I think, sadly, that this will become a problem with lots of vegetables due to climate change as well as (or including) fires. I think we must steel ourselves to using what is available rather than what we would like - good for the environment and good for the pocket ... if a little less exciting .... Better to make the most of our locally grown and available products than importing them over vast distances .... > Where did all the Avocados go???

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 You are so right. I make a wonderful mock guacamole out of thawed frozen peas. I think if you want to create a little with new veggies or veggies you don't normally eat, you will find plenty of wonderful dishes. I do miss a good avocado now and then but I believe they will surface again real soon and I'm off to cook up some other vegetable.
