It's no accident that "stressed" spelled backwards is "desserts."

TODAY'S RECIPE
__________________________________________________
I know that you are thinking that there are no such things as English
avocados, and surely there must be a mistake in the title of this
recipe, right? Actually, this recipe is an example of contemporary
English cuisine and uses some fine traditional English ingredients in
addition to the decidedly un-English avocado.
English Avocado Salad
2-3 ripe avocados, halved and pitted
Juice of 1/2 lemon
4-6 oz (110-170 g) Stilton cheese, crumbled
2 cups (500 ml) black seedless grapes, halved
2-3 Tbs (30-45 ml) sour cream
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1/2 cup (125 ml) chopped toasted walnuts
Lettuce leaves for garnish
Scoop the flesh out of the avocados, chop coarsely, and toss with the
lemon juice. Set the empty avocado shells aside. In a separate bowl,
mix together the Stilton, grapes, sour cream, and pepper. Gently stir
in the avocados and spoon into the reserved avocado shells. Sprinkle
with chopped walnuts and serve on a bed of lettuce. Serves 4 to 6.
