The Avo King was spotted at a Carlton footy match last week, hoeing in an avocado with a spoon, straight from the skin. His eating sensibilities caught the eye of commentators and they shared their adulation and surprise at this culinary oddity, crying out “times have changed here in Carlton, that used to be a bowl of pasta, once upon a time”.

Australian Avocados realised it had an avocado sensation on its hands. So it asked Australia to help identify the legendary avocado man, to help normalise a good avo and spoon combo at the footy.

It wasn’t long until the Avo King, aka Joe Rumoro, in Victoria, was tracked down by Aussie media. Appearing first in Victorian media such as 3AW and the Herald Sun, he has revealed why he ate his avos with a spoon. Because they’re healthy, easy to eat and versatile.
Avo King has since gone Australia-wide, appearing on national breakfast show Today Show, with host, Sarah Abo, also admitting she thought she was the only one who enjoyed avocado with a spoon.
The Avo King is actually Publican of The Tower Hotel in Hawthorn East, and he’s enjoying the ride. No telling where his Avo adventure will turn up next. Guac on.
