Who Introduced the Avocado Pear to the UK Marks and Spencers or Sainsburys?

Neither M&S or Sainsburys introduced the fruit the UK, although the first retailer to put avocado on the supermarket shelf was Sainsburys (in 1962, six years before Marks and Spencer).

The avocado was first introduced to the UK in the late 17th century.
