All Things Mango

[ackee]

she will be surprised at how sweet the mangoes are in Jamaica ...and how many different varieties there are . If you are going to eat lots of mangoes, the fruit isnt the person to buy from ...it would cost you a small fortune ..buy them from fruit vendors on the street, in the square, in the marke etc .. or ck with one of the staff wherever you plan to stay .. mangoes can be had in fruit salad, smoothies, drinks with a little ginger , verrryy ripe ones on top of pancakes.,, and with icecream... best way is to sit with 6 or more and get your face and hands all messy with the juices ..

Thank you all so much. I cannot wait until tomorrow when I see my mom and share with her all this really fantastic mango stuff. Mango over pancakes, mango salad, mango candy, mango smoothies, mangos with juice running down your arms, mangos of many types, cool mango pictures. Oh she will want to leave tomorrow. Thanks to all of you. Dreaming mangos...

Chuck and Cap those are beautiful shots. Thanks.

If you can, do as Ackee suggested, look for vendors on the street - they will have buckets or boxes of them, often selling them by the bag (like a half-gallon size) for small money. Every day is something/someone different selling.

If you buy Julie, make sure they are firm, not soft; if soft they will be mushy and not so nice.

There are many varieties of mango, your Mom will be in mango heaven!

Nice Lola, mango heaven is exactly the goal and you have brought us closer to the party. Thanks. Buckets and boxes of mangos, oh so much fun. Mmmmmm ....

Bring your own sharp knife for maximum convenience!

You should take Mom to AhhhBees for a Spicy Mango Chicken Burger with Lettuce, Tomato, red onion on a seseme seed bun. It's spicy but NOT HOT. Mom will love it. Also try some Fried Breadfruit with thier Mango sause for dipping.

Can you get CHEESE with that burger ?

I like squishing the mango while its in the skin, then I just tear a hole in the top with my teeth and squeeze the goodness right into my mouth. I am salivating as I write this and wish I had a REAL mango , not those hard green ones in the grocery store.
