day 101 - mango for breakfast

yes! i had, rather, i am having one of the suckers this morning for breakfast. every bit is so sweet, you won't believe it. and by the way this kind is from ataulfo (mexico) and is very similar to the original philippine variety (i say original because when i went to mexico a long time ago, i learned that the first mango trees in mexico were brought there by the spanish friars from the philippines. the philippine variety is much sweeter and softer and the skin much thinner. but this one is close enough since it is cheaper to import from mexico than from the philippines. i was told. my facts might be wrong. in any case, i love ripe mangoes!!!!

you can serve ripe mango with prosciutto (spelling?) ham, to make for an attractive and delicious appetizer; or serve it with shrimp cocktail. you can also eat it with steamed sticky rice and soy sauce, or you can make a nice mango chiffon pie with it.
