Adrienne Yancey's contribution for
Project 009
is an avocado spread, tomato and sprout sandwich. Etymological surprise of the day:
according to wikipedia
"the word 'avocado' comes from the Spanish word
aguacate
, which derives in turn from the Nahuatl (Aztec) word
ahuacatl
, meaning 'testicle', because of its shape." We learned that and couldn't
not
mention it.
