Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question
Other reason
- Simplified Chinese (China)
- English (UK) Near fluent
- Malay
In Cantonese, butter pronounce as cow oil 牛油。
So cow oil fruit is translated as 牛油果 butter fruit.
We called avocado as cow oil fruit due to it tastes like butter. We make avocado spread to replace butter sometime.
