Avocados .. be warned .... worse than Covid-19

[Gandahar]

You heard it here first.

My wife got back from Waitrose and after talking to her ,mates told me that there was a plague of ladies chopping off fingers due to the poor unsuspecting avocado.

I sat there for a moment, gathering my thoughts, a man who had pushed the envelope of really really really crap and experimental eating on this forum where your tongue could either explode, wither at the vine or just give up the ghost. Or all 3 put together with a sad note ... so it's not as if I am narrow minded when it comes to flavour based rubbish on FDR .... as you know.

It does raise the eternal question yet again; should we protect people from themselves?
I was watching my cousin (relatively intelligent human being) chop carrots the other day. She held the carrot and the knife in one hand almost like a pair of scissors or chopsticks, pushed the blade through the carrot against her thumb where the blade came to rest against it. I can only assume she's used to using blunt knives as she wouldn't use mine like that!
