Pear = Avocado: Pear, Pear Everywhere

I am sitting here on warm and decadent Sunday morning trying to decide what to make for breakfast. I take a look at my refrigerator, eggs, turkey bacon, bread, cheese, onion, scallions, pepper, pancake mix, flour and cereal. I feel like having something different, something simple but good. I take a look around there is an pear on the table maybe I can make a choka and some roti. I grew up in Guyana in the 1980's and 1990's but some of the names that we call food, has still remained in my personal vocabulary all these years. We call pear in Guyana is most famously referred to as Avocado throughout the world. Growing up we had several varieties of pear(avocado) to choose from and they consisted of some that literally tasted like butter and some larger varieties that were not that great to mash but were delicious on its own.
