Adrianna TanMango season is coming. Here's my short S Asian mango primer, and some ideas on where to buy them (I'm only focused on the ones you can buy outside S Asia, so if you're like 'the type that drops in my grandma's garden in the Konkan coast is the best', great, keep some for me)
coldclimate@skinnylatte I'm taking this list to my local Indian grocery here in the UK and trying to look like a pro
@coldclimate I think they’ll appreciate it!
Luis Villa@skinnylatte (1) why did you tempt me with the knowledge that I can spend $1K on mangos
(2) I think maybe I’ve pointed you at this before, but just in case, a different way to spend $1K on mangos is plane fare + hotel for the Fairchild Mango Festival in Miami in July. Worth the pilgrimage for mango fans: https://ftbg.ticketapp.org/portal/product/67
@luis_in_brief hehe I think I could do $800 to India and spend $200 on mangoes which would be more than any mangoes I could eat in a lifetime too.
Luke Kanies@skinnylatte thanks!
That video of cutting mangoes, though… I know lots of people cut toward themselves, but it always scares me. And to use steel as a cutting board! 😬
I used to use that style of cutting (and then cut the peels of the chunks). But I’ve been using a peeler to get the skin off, then cutting the flesh off, and I like it much better. I lose less flesh because the peeler is so much better at, well, peeling.
I know this guy probably works a knife way better than I, though.
