Coffee. Love Tea though Hmm

"Moulin Rouge" - only film ever walked out of and I've (happily) sat through some bad ones.Titanic was dull too and so v v long.

Completely disagree about avocados tho'. Avocado toast is the best: eatwithinyourmeans.com/best-avocado-toast/ and Avocado & Shrimp/Crab Cocktail is delicious too: foodwinethyme.com/crab-meat-shrimp-salad-stuffed-avocados-w-chili-lime-sauce/
