Katerina’s “better” thus enters a documented reality. It is the voice of a child who has learned that the taboo against eating human flesh is weaker than the taboo against watching a younger sibling die. It is the voice of a child who has already calculated the caloric value of the dead.
For now, though, she’s content with her little green treasure, tucked safely in her backpack, ready to be shared with anyone who’s willing to give it a try. And every time she takes a bite, she remembers that the world is full of flavors just waiting to be discovered—one avocado at a time.
Elena Kochina’s memoir Blockade Diary describes her own childhood during the siege: “I learned to tell the difference between a dead body and a sleeping person by the color of the hands.” Another survivor, Lidiya Ginzburg, wrote: “Hunger is a special kind of knowledge. It teaches you that your neighbor is made of meat.”
Safety and guidance For any child, food safety is essential. That means avoiding undercooked proteins, being cautious with allergies, and ensuring hygiene in preparation. If “avi” involves unfamiliar components or spices, an adult should help at first. Education about balanced portions and when treats are appropriate helps Katerina build lifelong habits.
