I used to have my driver take me down to the fruit stands lining the streets, just to buy bunches of them!!!!!! I love them completely!!!!! I love the marriage of the sweet and sour!!!!!! :D<br /><br />And they are so interesting to open! But did you know that they can stain your clothing and other fabrics? If you open the "casing" of the fruit-- the purple stuff can stain all sorts of fabric!<br /><br />I love this fruit!C.

I know I always love to visit my friends in Hawaii and go out in their yard and pick fresh papayas. Somehow, fruit just tastes better, right on the spot!! In Hawaii, also, there are such huge mango trees! I am sure it must be the same in the Philippines.RNSANEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02841873957894861725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35775558.post-17270989797823382442010-01-25T20:36:42.653-08:002010-01-25T20:36:42.653-08:00Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoriti - I would bet that mang...Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoriti - I would bet that mangosteens grow in Malaysia - since they grow in Singapore and that is very close.
