The MANGOS are coming!

[shereads]

Here's a good site with illustrations at the bottom on a few ways of preparing a mango for eating. I love the cubed way as I then pour lime juice over the fruit and sprinkle with either salt or chile powder. I'm so lucky, we get mangos all year round here, and all kinds.

Mango

The first time I tasted one, it was the old-fashioned type with stringy chewy flesh and I hated it. Then I went to a farm stand here that labels the different types and found some that are the same consistency as a ripe peach. Incredible. If a taste and texture can be sexy, a perfectly ripe mango is it.

You can freeze the fresh cubes and use them fresh from the freezer in milkshakes...Arggh! It'll be weeks before the local ones are ripe. I hate waiting.

Sorry, I don't eat anything that's remotely good for you.

Maybe if you fried it, with lots of fat and grease and poured a ton of salt on it I might consider it.

I bet you could mix it into a batter and fry it.

In Texas, we used to eat breakfast at a place that specialized in deep-fried toast. It's like French toast for people who want lots more fat and sugar. It's dipped in thick sugary batter, like donut batter, and fried in tons of Yellow Diner-Style Fat, and drizzled with cinnamon and drowned in syrup. What if you made the bread for the fried toast, and added bits of mango to the dough?

We have a Mango Festival.

Is it anything like La Tomatina In Bunol?

It's exactly like that, except that everyone is clothed and no one is having that much fun.

Thank you. That sounds delicious. Can I use something other than poblanos? They scare me.
