We eat mangoes till they're coming out of our ears! Cut into slices. Limon juice dribbled over them. Then a topping of Valentina sauce. C-o-l-d!
Try Tuba (just like the instrument) Vendors sell clear plastic glasses of the cloudy liquid. They'll top it with a handful of peanuts if you opt for it. Fermented sap of the coconut. About as potent as wine.
The there is the zapote. Green and then wine colored which is called the zapote borracho. Supposed to make a person sleepy. I ate a lot and it ended any thought of constipation.
Lots of bananas. My favorite is the little purple finger banana.
For some wacky reason the best oranges are trucked over from Veracruz. All valencias. Sold by costales, orange web plastic "gunnysacks" Rarely seen in stores usually pitched by vendors right out of the back of a truck.
SHRIMP wuuwee is it costly. Chop open a coconut and mix liquid with the pulpy meat of a young coco. Stir fry in a wok. Brenda and Andrea could not believe the taste. Add orange and stir fry trocitos, bits of chicken, chopped celery onion, and curls of carrots.
Have you tried the llaca (yaca)? lots of seeds. Push through a wire mesh strainer then add as the liquid to fruit smoothies. Use box cream.
Another smoothie treat. Mango with Carlos V chocolate. The chocolate makes an excellent substitute for coffee on very warm mornings. The amount of caffeine in chocolate is an eye opener. Cretins use Hershey syrup. My four cretins don't care. Same for orange juice. Add a smidgen of chocolate.
