I eat about 10 little mangoes a day. They're ripe and everywhere. Somewhere, someone is picking them off trees and shipping them north to Inner Mongolia, because they sure don't come from anywhere near here. I remember being afraid of not having regular fresh fruits and vegetables when I was preparing to come here last August. I had no idea what to expect regarding food. All I knew was that Mongolians ate a lot of yogurt, milk and sheep. I was preparing myself to be brave and do the same.
I've never had mangoes this good in New Mexico. Who would have thought I'd have to come all the way to Inner Mongolia to eat ripe, fresh mangoes? and cheap, too. It costs me $1.25 for about 12 little mangoes.
We've said goodbye to pineapple season, and hello to mango season.
What's next? I think it's going to be Xi Gua again. Watermelons!
