Yum! Mangoes! It must be #Christmas time. What are you eating this Christmas? Tag your Christmas festivities and share your day.

Thanks for sharing @Sussanah

Yum indeed! My favourite fruit. Pity we can't grow them here! 😕

Aren’t they yum! Plenty of places are too cold to grow them here. @jeatacake

Sadly, very true. I first became addicted to them on holiday in Thailand many years ago when they were in season. When fully ripe, with coconut sticky rice, they are to die for 😋 Never tried an Aussie one, (or Indian - which I've heard are the best). Only an Israeli one I had about 2 years ago was as good as Thai mangos I've had 👌

@jeatacake I am going to India next year, I will do an India v Oz mango taste comparison and give you a verdict. I am biased though, can't imagine a more magical taste than a juicy R2E2 mango, the largest of the mangoes. Will be having mine today with seafood with a coconut/lime dressing. Happy Christmas.

Oh you will have to. Hope they're in season when you go. Not exactly traditional here, but what a wonderful addition to a Christmas lunch. I'm slavering at the very thought! 😁 Best wishes & I hope you enjoyed your day there, especially your R2! 👍 @Annettenoosa
