  2. Got 'em all! That's so funny that you have that avocado drink there. I was reading to the kids yesterday about how the French think pumpkin pie is a disgusting idea- pumpkin is a vegetable! Why would you want to eat it for desert? As an example I told them how we think of avocado as a vegetable, but they use it in ice cream! (Wasn't that in your avocado cookbook?)

  3. Wow! You both did great!

    As you probably know, I find differences in cultures fascinating, especially things regarding food. (Okay, I love to eat! :-))

    South Africa is like the French as far as the pumpkin goes. They say it is a vegetable. I've yet to try avocado ice cream, but they are supposed to have it here. I have to admit that I didn't love the avocado milkshake, though Gabriel loved it. I guess I love my guacamole too much. LOL

    Thanks for participating!
