Fruit and Mango Taste
I know you are wondering, what is a mango?, What does a mango taste like?, and what is the texture of a mango like? Well I'm not because I know what one is, how it tastes and what the texture of one is like. That is why I'm writing you this letter to tell you a little bit about this mysterious fruit. At the end of this letter I am going to give you a few recipes that have mango in them so you can try some mango in styles and see how it can be used in so many different ways.

A mango is a tropical fruit that originated in Southeast Asia. Some people believe that the mango has been gathered for over 4,000 years. it believed that there is over 100 different types of mangoes. The ones found in the U.S. are normally imported from Mexico and South America. Its a fleshy fruit growing around a long flat seed. The fruits have an average length of five inches and weigh approx. one pound. Mangoes contain some of the same oils as poison oak and poison ivy, sometimes people can have an allergic reaction to the oils found on the fruit skin and the leaves on the tree that mangoes grow on.

The ripened skin of a mango may be mainly yellow , or it will have different shades of orange and red. The skin of a mango is NOT edible. If the mango is turning brown or is already brown DO NOT eat it because it is more than likely bad and will not taste good. The inside of most mangoes is a deep orange, although some mangoes in Asia have a white flesh. Mangoes are often fibrous, they have many long thin fibers that can easily get stuck in between your teeth. So if you ever eat a mango I would bring a toothpick or floss. Mangoes either have little or no fiber, but no matter how much fiber there is the fruit is more custard-like in texture. Most mangoes that are imported are picked unripe so that they can ripen during transportation, this way their less likely to rot.

It is kind of hard to say rather or not you will like mangoes because a mango might taste delicious to one

    Money is the root of evil. A Long Way Gone and The Bite of the Mango are both memoirs of the Sierra Leone Civil War.

    Cafarvy wrote of Alexandria ‘the city will always haunt you’ a sentiment that can be applied to Lucknow. Lucknow is located in a region called Awadh,which was one of the 12 subas of the Mogul Emperor, Akbar. The word ‘Avadh is derived from the word Ayodhya,the Hindu holy city on the banks of the river Ghagra.Nawab-the plural of the word naib,meaning assistant-was the term given to governors appointed by the mughal emperors all over India to help the in managing the empire.Awadh under the rule of the idiosyncratic nawabs was a heady mix of flourishing arts,literature,sports and most importantly- a culturally evolve lifestyle & exotic cuisines. Clever prime ministers,beauty power begums,eccentric chefs-that’s what Oudh is all about! To think of lucknow is to think of its murgmusallam,makhan malai,paan,kaba.sheermaal,thandai,zarda etc. For one to enjoy mangoes,malihabd is an ideal place.It’s a temple to the mango lovers.Avadhi mangoes’ names ignite fantasies-gulabkhas,husnara,lab-e-mashuk,khas-ul khas etc.People swarm over mango sellers like swarms of bees. An anecdote,well famous here is associated with Mirza Ghalib.the great Indian Urdu poet.He had a weakness for mangoes so much that he used to visit Avadh for dusehri mangoes.Ghalib’s weakness for mangoes was a common talk among his friends.Once an ass while moving looked indignantly at a mango and went ahead. Ghalib’s friends taunted the poet saying that even an ass doesn’t eat mango and then burst into guffaws.A witty Ghalib retorted,’’Yes only an ass does not eat mangoes!” Chowk is one of the oldest inhabited areas of Oudh and the hub of popular avadhi dishes.…
