If you're feeling particularly peckish this weekend, the 'Avozilla' might just do the trick. It's reportedly the world's largest avocado, and it goes on sale in Tesco supermarkets tomorrow.

The Avozilla is five times the weight of normal avocados and double the length. But it's incredibly rare: it's grown on just four trees in South Africa.

Unsurprisingly, it won't be cheap - each one will be £3 - but Tesco says this makes the fulsome fruit ideal for "shoppers looking for value for money, especially large families".

It also suggests the Avozilla's skin can be used as a serving bowl for guacamole. Looks like they'd make pretty good doorstops as well.
