THE FIRST WORD


alligator fruit

Once called "alligator fruit," avocados have gone from novelty to produce staple, stocked in aisle end caps, supermarkets' prime selling space, along with tomatoes and grapes.
The avocado is also called an "alligator pear," which should not be confused with the alligator apple, a relative of the soursop and cherimoya. The alligator apple is edible but has a flavor often compared with that of turpentine.
