I join the Avocado Advocacy movement!
We do not want the description of this new category to go "pear shaped" from the beginning, do we? :o

Yup, Avocado for me as well...even has the gigantic pit in the center.




Also...for those interested in a short read...


https://naturesproduce.com/encyclopedia/avocado/#:~:text=The%20fruit%20of%20the%20plant,Mediterranean%20climates%20throughout%20the%20world.

...So I believe "pear shaped" would also be deemed correct.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

You aren't all by yourself Robert!  While I'm also partial to the idea of calling it an avocado, has anyone ever seen one with those long and skinny dimensions? 
I'd deem this a conference or concord pear.   ;)
