The Floridas sometimes show up here at a slightly cheaper price than the
Haas, but aren't as good in my opinion. Back in the days when we could
afford avocados, we'd have them as simply as possible: halved, liberally
doused with fresh lime juice, a little mustardy vinegriette in the well,
and a spoon.
