The tournament commences on Monday

The All England Club has removed avocados from menus at this year's Wimbledon championships, substituting them with crushed British peas as part of sweeping sustainability measures.

The decision affects food outlets across the tournament grounds, where avocados had gained popularity amongst spectators for their nutritional value.
 
According to The Sunday Times, the ban forms part of Wimbledon's broader environmental strategy.

The crushed pea alternative represents a shift towards locally sourced ingredients, eliminating the environmental costs associated with importing avocados from overseas.

They went with a cheaper item, in other words. And Brits eat mushy peas anyway.  :laugh:
