Just LOOK at what No 2 daughter brought in from London!! (Sira's Asian market, in Southall).
She had to wait until the price came off its initial peak but, oh, so worth waiting for! You haven't lived until you've had Alphonsos. = Tim
Mmmmmmmmmm love mangoes!! Please send some this way Tim ;D
Now I can honestly say I love most fruits and veg, but the one fruit I really can not stand is mango. To me it has a metalic taste and is sooooooooo slimey. Mine you, I love the smell, bet they smelled great Tim.
I know what you mean - some folk say 'turpentine'. But there's a world of difference between these & the fat green/red things from Peru et al. And mango icecream..............! = Tim
oooohh! Mouthwatering just looking at them, Tim! I adore mango - and have been suffering withdrawal because all you could get around here were South American ones which are vile, I think. They taste of nothing ... or worse, they taste of something chemical! Had to pay a huge amount for a South African one if M&S last week , but boy was it worth it! Better than chocolate (and that's saying something!) ;D
mango salsa!With grilled Tuna................drool
Mango with crab is great for a dinner party, halve them, score the and turn them inside out, place next to one another on a plate and put fresh crab in between with home made brandy cocktail sauce with a dash of tabasco. Looks impressive tastes super. Chezzie
Fresh white crab from Martin's Seafresh, of course!! = Tim
And - Tuesday - why did I never think of mango with seafood before?? Had it tonight, with 'spicy greens' & 'fristina' from the garden ( &, of course, a thingy sauce - mayo, Total yoghurt, chilli sauce , s & green p, & cream) - 'squisite!! = Tim
10 mangoes for 80p in south africa, delicious!
I thought the 'thingytail' sauce was so funny we had a whole thread on it on another board......Ball Thingy, Shuttlethingy, Thingy Roach, Thingy-a-leekie soup....ezf
Bombay mangoes ending - Pakistan fruit coming in - on the right.
First time I've had one - an AROMA 'Honey Mango' - nice 'warm' flavour, but prefer the others. Had it with Martin's 1/2 price lobster & 'spicy greens' salad.!! = Tim
