Our childhood memories with mangoes (Alphonso).Our parents buying the crate of mangoes ,4dozens arranged according to how ripe it is,ripest lot at the top.Aam ki peti is how we remember it.No fun in cutting and eating.It has to be eaten squashing with the hand messing up the clothes ,sticky feeling around mouth,eating it till you can see the seed white in colour 😊.How many times the mango strings get stuck between your teeth.Summer vacations and mango season always coincide in India.Competitions with friends and cousins,how fast can you eat?how many can you eat? Puri aamrus best combination…Nobody can escape from the scent of the juicy Alphonso’s.Typically the crates used to be kept under the cot in our small Mumbai homes.We were like flies waiting to attack.Some neighbor would have connections to get mangoes from Ratnagiri and the message spreads like forest fire ,you try to be the first to reach to get the best picks😊.Todays kids are cleanliness freaks to enjoy the way we used to.They can pass an embarrassing statement how can you eat it like this,well that’s how it is eaten😊.
Reliving childhood with Mangoes 😁
