It was amazing how different they tasted and a couple were just plain awful with an unappealing texture.

Mostly Haas in the stores around here but I purchased another variety that was very dark with a pebbly texture. Those never ripened successfuly and had to be tossed.

A few things here. First of all, I highly doubt this has jack to do with Martha Stewart. Anyone Guy Whitey Corngood Aug 2018 #16

1- the *only* time I've seen it was Martha guesting on a non-cooking show. UTUSN Aug 2018 #17
