The original poster could very well have been me. I know that I've
mentioned this dish on this list at least once.

We were at Trudy's this last Monday evening. Specifically because
my wife had a hankering for this particular dish. I think the last
four times we've been there, this is what she's had. That's ok, it
just means I get to try a variety of other dishes.

Thank you for posting this. I think I might be able to do this.
Even if does involve handling that slimy green fruit. :-)

I'm not quite sure how to keep the sliced avocado together though
when you fry it. When you roll it, I guess you can hold it together
with your fingers. But I don't think that would work too well in
the hot oil. And somehow, I don't think a pair of rubber bands
will work either.

Perhaps, like many of the medieval recipes, you simply have to
follow the directions as close as possible and see what happens.
