WoW! ang dami,nakakatakaw naman. I’ve never seen that much in a bunch. It’s nice that your kid is very business-minded na rin at an early age. When we were young, my cousins and I take advantage of our lola’s balimbing and makopa tree harvest. We would sit by the gate also and sell them like 25 cents each. Then we can have free snacks and some pocket money for gala.

Im voicing out my comment on this particular post because after looking at these photos my mouth is just watering and i am now craving for indian mangoes…I just want to share my stories growing up back home regarding mangoes and my cousins that i share it with. Normally, the eldest amongs us would do all the peeling, if our aunts/uncle are busy with other things, while the younger ones anxiously wait, but because it’s not a fair deal, whoever is doing the peeling, they would really take their time and make us wait forever. And because as a kid, i myself for instance have no patience, i would pick a mangoe that has the softest skin and with just a hint of yellowness, wash it and eat it with skin on and ofcourse we have the usual “sawsawan” – salt, patis, toyo and spicy bagoong! Oh yeah, while i was pregnant, i had cravings for green mangoes with salt and pepper!!!!!Yummy!

Nowadays, being away from home, whenever i make kare-kare, i like to pair it with green mangoes and bagoong! But i miss the indian mangoes back home.

Your daughter is learning well to trade! My husband seems cant understand how we Filipinos eat mango with salt and bagoong. and you think only Filipinos? They do the same way in Seychelles. bagoong with lots of chilli.
Glad you follow food by season, had a laugh when I saw WATERMELON this time of the year here in Oslo. From Honduras and they were selling carved melons. In Athens I buy a whole
