yeah when i buy avocados they sit for like a week first ..kinda sucks they are pricey too so i buy em as a treatNot much foraging to be done in central london :/ Only 3 and a half more years and i can get the hell out of this place.
I've never found any imported fruit i enjoy. Maybe it's all these sprays they're using to stop them over-ripening. I just don't like supermarket fruit. Most of the time it's impossible to find anything that's ripe, and they even started marketing stuff as "ripen-at-home", basically meaning it was picked too early! Got to buy avacado weeks in advance.
