Fruit Hunter

Today I ventured all the way out to the St Lawrence Market to pick up some mangos. As we all know the St Lawrence Market is home to many luxurious and precious fruits and mangos are one of my all-time favorites. Mangos are native to southern Asia and were introduced to California in the 1880s. The two races of mangos come from India and other areas of the Philipines and Southeast Asia.

Mangos have a very relaxed sweet and tart flavour to it and it should it's best in desserts like ice cream or a delicious smoothie. My favourite mango dish to eat and one that I would love to cook at home is a mango custard which is essentially a soft filling flavoured mango cream served in a ramekin served with little bits of coconut. 

This summer I took a trip to Hawaii for the very first time and I absolutely enjoyed it. I got to try so many new foods from home and got to see a lot of tourist spots but one thing I loved the most was the fact that my aunt grew her own mangos outside her house. Every breakfast was always filled with different forms of mangos and I even had the chance to pick some of the tree.
