Can anyone tell me.....

...are avocados actually supposed to last as long as three weeks?!

I have a passion for these odd looking green things, so much so that I bought one three weeks ago....... and then promptly 'lost' it in the fridge (some passion), this evening it became found quite by chance. Hmmmm, I thought, I could fancy that but it has to be growing some dangerous, noxious bug or bacteria after so long awol.

Resist it I couldn't and tentatively cut it open, much to my surprise it looked normal, well as normal as an avocado can, it even smelled normal, I hesitated a moment then out with the mayo and ...........hell, it tasted normal!

Am I going to live to regret this moment of greed and stupidity I wonder?!
