False Advertising
Do you want to know what peeves me? When a store advertises something, that just isn’t what they say it is.
While we were walking through our local Publix store, I noticed a sign for one of my favorite foods ever.
I was so excited I made an immediate detour from the tomatoes to pick out a couple of delicious California Hass Avocados. The problem I found out, was actually finding one in their store. It turns out the entire display was filled with avocados from Mexico. There wasn’t a California Avocado to be found. How depressing.
I should have asked for a raincheck, but I bet I’d be waiting a long time until they got any avocados in that were actually from California.

Hey… I come across that problem all the time my self specially when it comes down to country of origin. The good news though is that most produce items are labeled with the country of origin.
Regarding the avocados — I saw a PBS series called Kids on the Farm and it was all about Mexican avocados, their cultivation and recipes. Now I eat mexican avocados all the time and they are great because they are the same variety as California (Haas variety).
On that show I learned about their origin – a mountainous region in Mexico – and how it contributes to their really creamy texture and nutty taste but most importantly I leanerd new recipes for an authentic guac!
