It is mango season. Or at least it has been. It is very short here in Rovieng… unfortunately. Last week we had some wonderful juicy and sweet&sour “Svay Gat-ee.” They were grown locally and freshly picked off the tree by the old lady that grows them. They cost 50c each. I sent our guard to the market to buy some mangoes (along with some other animal food) and he came back with the cheap ones which cost about 10c each. He was horrified at the price of the 50c ones so didn’t buy any. Amelie here is holding a “Gow Lim-eeat”. These ones are good eaten hard and still green. We were having a mango picnic with the animals after the their train ride.
I used to know all the varieties in Myanmar, but keep forgetting the names of the best ones here. Maybe I have it down now.
