First Food

If somebody had told me back in the USSR that I would have a little American baby and would feed her avocado puree as her first solid food, I’d be. . . very confused. I had no idea what avocado was, of course. 

My aunt told me that her son’s first solid food was borscht. I find that admirable in its sheer Ukrainianness but I’m not ready to go that far.
