I am envious of people who live in places where ripe mangoes are readily
accessible. I have all but given up on them. They are rarely less than
$1.50 and never perfectly ripe. I too have resorted to getting my mango
fix from the freezer section. I get a lot more mango for my money that
way. I know I am missing the best of the best, but I rarely got that anyway.
