What I miss most about home, part 9: Luscious mangoes at the height of summer.
Come April-May, the temperatures soar (the high 90’s) and out come the watermelons and mangoes. Now there are several varieties of mangoes, with sultry names - Alphonso, Bulsar, Swarnarekha, Neelam - none of them indicate what they actually taste like ;)
There’s nothing better than biting into a cold, juicy, sweet, ripe mango, any time of the day. I’m just hoping that in three weeks time, the last of the mango season still remains.
The ban on Indian mangoes in the US has been lifted last year. I still haven’t found good ones here. :(
I'm originally from Bangalore, India. I may not be a regular updater but I definitely am a blog troller and as I'm told, a Facebook stalker! I love pretty pictures, connections to India, and celeb gossip :)
And I love Douglas Adams. And PG Wodehouse. And now, Alexander McCall Smith.
