Hass are wonderful avocados. Fuerte can also be nice if you are used to
them. I grew up eating Fertes because my aunt here in Sandy Eggo had a huge
Fuerte avocado tree. We at them until we got sick of them! I used to do the
same thing with Brown Turkey figs. But by the next season we were ready to
go at 'em again. If you are in Florida, you most likely aren't getting San
Diego avocados <smile>, so I don't know if you get Bacon avocados or not. At
the end of the Hass season, the Bacons usually begin to come to their peak.
A mixture of Hass and Bacon is really super for guacamole, IMO!
