We've all seen it and cringed: that friend from somewhere cold that's trying to prep an avocado. This can be awfully excruciating. The carver in question stumbles along wasting fruit while you go grey. You're secretly hating him or her because now you're just having to wait longer for less fruit... and all the while, you know that there is a pack of people just outside the kitchen door who are salivating and jockeying for position so that they can have the advantage when it comes time to descend on that avocado centered dish.

That isn't going to go over well. We all know that avocado is always the first to go at any party. And now the crowd is hungrier and avocado is becoming scarce. That sounds like a recipe for disaster. So what do you do? You may not be able to stop this train wreck in motion, but you can prevent it in the future.
