Rob Crisell will answer “Everything you ever wanted to know about avocados (but were afraid to ask)” at our November chapter meeting. His new book, his sixth, is called California Avocados: A Delicious History. In this humorous and informative talk, Rob takes you through the fascinating history of California avocados, tackling such topics as:

• How avocados came to America

• How San Diego became the heart of avocado land (until it wasn’t)

• The migration of avocados to the northern counties

• How avocados won the “war on fat”

And much more.
