Mangoes

Mango season is in full swing here, and I am in heaven. Growing up with an Aussie mum, I am no stranger to this delicious fruit. But I now fully understand what my mum meant when she said "they taste so much sweeter in Australia". That couldn't be more true. The mangoes here are incredibly sweet, juicy, and the size of a small child's head (no jokes). Every time you go to the fruit market or grocery store, you can smell the mangoes before you walk in the door. And there are so many different kinds to choose from: Kensington, Bowen, R2E2...the list goes on. I think the R2E2 are our favourites. They are huge, sweet, juicy, and sound like a name from Star Wars! We are trying to eat as many as we can before we head back to Canada - a challenge I eagerly accept!
