Fruit of the day: Mangoes


So our brilliant shopping decision for the week was to buy a crate of mangoes. That equals 14 mangoes that are pretty much the same ripeness. Our logic was this: in the grocery store, mangoes are $4-5 each (even though they come from nearby Queensland and are supposedly in season and, in my mind, should be a lot cheaper right now). But when you buy a whole crate at the fruit market, they’re only ~$1.25 each. So the challenge is on, and we’re willing to accept it. We’ll let you know if we make it through all 14 before they go bad. It’s a rough job, but somebody’s gotta do it!

  1. Let me know if you need a recipe for "Mango Mousse". I haven't made it for about 30 years, but thought it was good at the time!

  2. Maybe you should have called this entry "Fruit of the WEEK". If an apple a day keeps the doctor away, what do you ward off with a mango a day?
