It is a very common practice for Sharmila everytime we go to a tropical place to find some street side mango vendor and try the local mangoes. I remember doing this in Aruba, Cabo, Cancun, Costa Rica…

Today, we stopped by on our way back from the beach to try out some of the local stuff. There were quite a few stalls by the road side. We picked one that belonged to a rather stern looking lady and her amiable husband. They are of Tamil descent and we spoke a little in Hindi and Tamil.

The mangoes were very large in size. Apparently, locally these mangoes are referred to as “hybrid” mangoes. I asked the local folks what are they hybrid of. Nobody seemed to know.

That did not hurt how sweet and tasty they were though.
