FIL has brought home a bag full of Ratnagiri Alphonso mangos. Being true Mumbaikers, they believe it's the best variety out there. Whatever it is, it's a variety we don't get back in the US. Well, actually you do. But they are sold out so quickly, we never get to have some! Just yummy! Just the way a mango should be!!
D of course, had some, being her favourite fruit. She gave up after a few bites, saying, "I like mangoes in Arlington because they are sour and not sweet!" sigh. So, we have to look for some sour mangoes (my favourite too). Alas, no one will admit their mangos are sour as that's not a good thing for mango lovers! lol...
But since UK & Europe had placed a ban this past may, there has been an excess in fruit and the season has lasted longer. Hence, I Have tasted them fresh for the first time in decades!!! Family would always freeze some for our visits! yum yum yum... never again will any other mango be the same. They should be called something else!
