"Alligator pear: if you had never seen an avocado before, you might have come up with this name yourself! The pear-shaped fruit and rough, alligator-skin textured peel have earned the avocado this quirky nickname, which is used widely in Central and South America.\n\nButter fruit/butter pear: avocados are loved for their rich and creamy texture, which may be described as buttery. That’s why the avocado is sometimes called butter fruit or butter pear!\n\nMidshipman’s butter: amazingly, the avocado was a rarity in Great Britain for three centuries after it was first discovered. Many people had never seen an avocado before but heard about the fruit in reports sent back by colonial servants who were overseas. This lead to the nickname Midshipman’s butter."
