You all who doh like zaboca maybe doh eat it with the right things or the right way.
In French it is Les Avocats but with the liaison and the silent trailing consonant, it is pronounced like "lezavoca" which becomes "zaboca". (Note the reference to Haitian and French Antillean Creole)
Zaboca is most likely patois.
I am 15 and I am gonna continue using this instead of avocado just to keep it alive

Zaboca is the indigenous name of the fruit
I just want to say I love in Europe and I want to tell our people stop giving away our great food recipes and our culture to Europeans. They take it and make money and then what do you have. It is bad enough your POLITICIAN SELL US OUT, we the people can save our culture ...Black people stop it on all levels.. our children need to know how rich our culture is.❤️❤️

Yes, zaboka is a Creole word used mostly in the French-Speaking Caribbean island. It's derived from "les avocats" in French. Linguistically, in some romance languages, specially Spanish, people used the letters "V" and "B" interchangeably. That's why "zavoka" has turned into *zaboka* in Haiti, Martinique, Guadeloupe, French Guiana, Dominica, St. Lucia, Seychelles, etc.

Avocados also known in the Caribbean here are called Zabocas but I think the word is weird to me don't you think
Are avocadoes native to Haiti? how about mangoes? I think both, like breadfruit, were introduced. I lived in Verrettes for 23 years. Agrinome.
Zaboca is one of the healthiest way to store good fat. I love me some Zaboca lool
Grenadians got this word from the French. We were colonized by France before England came and took over.
Zaboca is such an awesome fruit. Some salt and it good to go.
