Did you know? - What is a Testicle tree?

in food •  7 years ago 

There is a nice sounding word from the Aztecs Ahuacatl which is a shortened form of another pretty sounding word...Ahuacacuahuitl ...Well, you might ask "What the hell is that means?". Ok, the English translation is "Testicle tree" and this is the Aztecs'word for ......avocado....uhuuuu...the mighty avocado :) You know that the more testicles.....sorry, I mean the more avocados you eat the healthier you are. Well, wait! There is more! Later on, after the Spanish were conquering Central America they came with the idea to corrupt its name to the closest possible phonetic equivalent and that's how the super healthy fruit got its name Avocado which on the other hand in Spanish means "Advocate" :). And you know that the mighty avocado suffered even further name corruption by the British who decided that this actually is an Aligator pear....
So, no matter what, the Testicle fruits have always been and are still now and always will be some of the healthiest fruits on the table.
