LONDON -- Brits love an avocado. So much so, that people in the U are now buying more avocados than oranges.

But, just when you thought Britain's passion for the avocado couldn't get any more ardent, one store just launched avocado spread.

Alas, Tesco's avocado spread isn't akin to almond butter, or peanut butter. It's a dairy-free buttery spread that looks a lot like butter or margarine.

The spread contains 24% avocado oil, so it's similar to an olive spread, only it's made with avocado oil. 

The avocado spread is also suitable for vegetarians and vegans, and is a source of vitamin A, D and Omega 3 fatty acids.

People on Twitter are not all that convinced, however... 




Have we reached peak avocado perhaps?
