I bought these mangoes on Saturday down Whitechapel Market. I was on a tight budget, but I had reason to celebrate, so I thought 'to hell with it' and treated myself.
These yellow reasons to smile came in a box of 24. Altogether, it came to £6 - but I am my mother's daughter, I haggled it down to £5.50; works out at about 23p per mango!
I gave six away: one to a friend I hadn't seen in a while, two to his mum and three to a really close friend of mine (a fellow mango freak!)
...and the rest were mine, mine, MIIIIIIIIIINE :-)
As of the writing of this post, there are only three mangoes left!

About this blog right here. Uh huh...
Some people call my luv of mangoes 'a fetish'. Meh. I say it's gone way beyond that! This blog's my homage to the succulent fruit - memoirs, poetry, random thoughts, pics & anything mango-related I can get my tongue on.

Still a Mango Freak...
I haven't updated this blog in a good while, but my love of mangoes hasn't diminished much. After all, me and mangoes go waaaaay back, way before this blog came along (even before the advent of the internet). I'll always love mangoes. Always.
So I'm back. For now. Just gonna go with the flow. See how it goes.
(p.s.: came across a lovely mango poem the other day. Found it sense-ual.)

DID YOU KNOW?
...that in Hinduism, the mango tree is considered to be sacred because Prajapati, the Lord of Creatures, was changed into a mango tree.
