But there's quite a lot to unpack here. What does the avocado have to do with an egg-based liqueur? Why did Dutch settlers in Recife, Brazil, make a drink from a fruit that is native to Mexico? What did Dutch settlers do in Brazil in the first place? And is the avocado really named after testicles?
Let's start with that last claim. Is it true? You bet it is – just as true as the fact that the Polish word ''"jajka"'' refers to both eggs and testicles, because the former look like the latter. Or that fruits with a hard shell around an edible kernel are called "nuts", because that's one of the English words for testicles, which these fruits bear an uncanny resemblance to. Or that the Polish word ''"jajka"'' refers to both eggs and testicles, because the former look like the latter. So yeahin a nutsack, I mean, nutshell, it's true, but only in reverse. In fact, "avocado" is the primary meaning of ''"āhuacatl"'' in Nahuatl (the language of the Aztecs), but the same word may have been used as a Nahuatl slang term for balls.<ref>{{Cyt
