Mango Mania

Mangoes grow in excess here in the islands. Trees become laden with fruit that drop to the ground, often eaten by birds before people can pick them up. The trees are huge and are rarely trimmed back—one reason the birds are the eager recipients of these fruits. Mangoes are some of the most passionately messy fruits on earth; eating them in a bathtub is recommended. Once you’ve discovered their luscious flavor, you’ll forgive them their hesitancy to be devoured. Then you’ll want to enjoy this yummy recipe, one of my new favorites:
