(Persea americana) 

It's in the Lauraceae, like cinnamon.

Called here the Avocado (ah-voh-cah-doh), originally Avocado Pear. Here it is not much used as a substitute for butter, but as a delicious base for making guacamole (gwah-cah-moh-lee), a mexican paste with lime, cilantro, garlic and salt, used as a dip and a spread. It is also eaten sliced on sandwiches and in salads, and all by itself.

yes, in german too it is called avocado. more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avocado

 

it tastes very well and is used a lot especially in winter because of the fat it contains and Vitamins too.

apart from eating, it is also used in creams, oils and women make special mixtures for facial treatment.

a good passtime for children too, see the pic in the above site.
