Re: Feast

Thanks to our increasing Hispanic and Indian communities we are finally getting decent mangoes here in the Memphis area. It is my understanding that the Indian groceries are getting real Indian mangoes, which are supposed to be the best there are. I plan to check them out.

Yeah, I've seen them. They're about the size of Carrie. I just googled it, and there's a variety from Thailand, "Thai Honey," which is probably it. There's also a Vietnamese variety--Nam Duc [something]--that's similar, and quite good. Guess I'll have to check Sweetbay and see if they have Honeys. They usually have two or three varieties during this time of year.

The honey mangos are smaller one and they are yellow when ripe.

Tommy Atkins has that turpentine taste unless it's thoroughly ripe--then it disappears. I don't know what the "honey" mango is. Mangos have such goofy names--usually people names [Carrie, Julie, Keith] or southeast Asian names--but there are a few named things like Ice Cream. Could be there's a variety named Honey. They also come in a variety of sizes. Carrie produces fruits that are about the size of an avocado. The two I picked yesterday weigh about a half pound each. The two Alampur Baneshans I picked yesterday weigh nearly 2 pounds each.

We had a "turpentine" mango tree in our yard in Key West. They were delicious after you developed a taste for them.

Which type of mango is what they call "honey mango" in the grocery store? I just love them!! I wish I lived at your house for mango and avocado season- they both are great!

We are beginning to feast on mangos and avocados. Our early season mango [Tommy Atkins] was a bust this year, but the two mid season ones [Alampur Baneshan and Carrie] have been productive. And the avocado is in the midst of it's largest crop ever.
