I live here in Seattle, washington and my girlfriend in Gingoog City was just mentioning lanzones last night. I’m coming to the Philippines in January 2009 and look forward to tasting the fruit.

I am presently living here in NY and 5 months pregnant. unfortunately, I am craving for lanzones in which I haven’t seen some produce here. My relatives told me to go to California or Canada were there is a high chance of lanzones produce….
How I wish I could go back home and eat a lot…
I miss Philippines! I miss lanzones

Sarap! nakakamiss talaga ang pinas esp. because of this,
one of my favorites! A very sweet post for your mom.
My bff has also mentioned about their lanzones kaing-harvest
in San Pablo, Laguna. I heard it’s really good! I’d surely love to visit when it’s picking season. Must be fun!

i’m a lanzones boy, originally from Paete, Laguna

there was a time when we’d just ask some friends who had just harvested lanzones and place them on our shirts eating away at the succulent fruit

those days are gone but not the lanzones. We now have our own small plot of land with lanzones trees to harvest in september/october

i also bought 1/2 kilo in Munoz last weekend, something the vendor said came from Camiguin, but they don’t come close to how sweet my memory of lanzones was.

I once organized a trip to my hometown where we trekked to our lanzones “plantation” and harvested our own…

hmmm…might do that again and blog about it :)

That was a very nice post, MM. The comments are also heartwarming as well! Lanzones are a “social” fruit. They taste better when one eats them with others, di ba? Malungkot pag kumakain ng lanzones na mag-isa…they really taste sweeter when shared with people you care about!!!

When i saw the lanzones photo, the first thing that came to my mind was my lola who passed last yr. Lazones was one of my faves growing up, funny thing was althoug it’s one of my faves, i don’t eat them all in one seating, fr some reason if i eat a lot i get a tummy ache.so there would always be some left over. my lola doesn’t put them away in the fridge, she would just leave them out in the counter, and by the time i get to eat them, i always complain to her that there were blacks ants in the bowl, she would then tell me in a firmer tone of her voice (not galit voice) – “kasi dapat kinain mona agad, yan tuloy inuhan ka ng mga langgam”!!!
I miss you lola!

I also remember my lolas. . . and yeah they eat a lot of fruits, there will always be some in the fridge, some in the counter, some in the dining table, bananas or sinegualas or any fruit ready to be eaten all around the house, they just enjoy sitting and chatting eating tons of fruits, hmmm maybe we should eat that way rather than taking some junk food for snack. . .
