Avocado "pears" are only called that because of their shape, which resembles a pear, MaJoC.

They taste nothing like pears and have a completely different texture and are mostly used for savoury dishes but some people sneak them in when making ice cream or cakes as a creamy substitute.

Don't go all pear-shaped on eating avocados. LOL

My recommendation for a first tasting would be guacamole with a Mexican dish.
