Mango Fool
Stop Baking!!!
Those are the words that came out from Swiss Cheese mouth while we were having lunch on baked macaroni.
When I arrived from Germany last Tuesday, I went to an auto mode of cleaning, laundry and shopping.
Thursday I slaved in the kitchen. I baked the pear upside down cake, leche flan and did some sticky rice pudding.
As you see my sister Tara and Nikos arrived from UK.
My sister follows my food blog and asked if they can have all that food you have cooked and baked?
Oh dear I went over the top I think.
So after our baked macaroni lunch with cos lettuce salad, full of spring onions, I needed something to clear my palatte.
Oh just excuse to eat something sweet really. I still have leche flan which am giving away to a friend.
I wanted something light.
Last Thursday, the lady from the Filipino store rang me up that the cargo bearing fresh vegetables and fruits from the Philippines had arrived.Off I went and the mangoes are larger than the usual ones I buy.
I realized its summer in the Philippines, mango season.
What joy!
But of course you can say its a treat. For 5 pieces I paid 14€. (8€ a kilo)
So I made a fool using FAGE TOTAL full fat yoghurt.
Cut the mango into small pieces.
Add a bit of brown sugar, I normally use organic honey but I have ran out.
Voila serve it in tall clear glasses.
Back to the lunch…
I brought so many goodies from Germany that includes smoked bacon from Tirol area and Appenzeller cheese. The taste of smoked meat and the strong appenzeller cheese is ideal for baked macaroni.
i’ve been meaning to make a no-bake thing with mangoes too but can’t find very nice ones yet:(
yours looks so fresh and sweet! hey!i’m also off to another vacation soon…manila!!!woohoo! i guess i’ll do that no-bake-mango-thing there!!!:)
good to have you back, dear!
the only real mangoes are philippine mangoes!!!too bad wala dito.grrr.
Those mangoes looks great even though they’ve travelled far. So lucky for you and it’s right timing for your sister. I can only imagine how sweet they are and juicy too… hala! naglalaway na!
…and their smell – gorgeous! I can still remember it. Aaahhhh…
Shalimar, I think I’m going to stop baking and make this 🙂 Looks heavenly indeed!
mango with yogurt is a truly heavenly combination. and you feel so healthy eating it, too.
huhuhuhu naiiyak ako wala d2 nyan phil mango. patulan ko na kaya yun not-so-yummy-looking magoes sa supermarket wherever they came from…
Ayan nah!!! Sha, i bought three mangoes when i was in the Paris.. but did’nt know my in laws love this type so .. i left it for them to savor. Hu hu hu.. i did’nt even had one bite.. welcome back sa blog mo.
lovely pics! those mangoes look so tempting. i have to make do with the dried ones from Cebu at the moment. 🙂
if wishes were horses this beggar would ride!
He actually asked you to stop baking??? The man is mad!
Actually the best mangoes I ever ate was from Pakistan. A supplier sent a crate over and none of us dared touch it because we’re ingnorant Westerners who feared a bellyache. They laid there for two days before I finally took two home to try. Next day the crate disappeared home with me! LOL. I wish I had some of that now …
Oops I just drooled all over my keyboard, sorry. *L* Walang binatbat ang Mango Jubilee na kinain ko nung weekend!!!!!!!!
MM i know those pakistani mangoes are the closest to the phil mangoes i know.. i get them at east london when I was in UK. one summer i was in France i flew over to UK for the weekend, came back with crates of Pakistani mangoes…
oh my man is mad give him CHEESE AND WURST HE IS HAPPY
Sha,
Ningtubod gyod ang akong laway,,, haay diri sa Florence kana ra gyod peach-mango type,, wa gyoy lami!!!
When it comes to Pinoy store’s, we have Little Quiapo, or little SM around here in HK. Ampootah ang sarap nyang fresh mangoe in creamy creamy creamy creamy milk.
Those mangos are gorgeous! Beautiful photos. I went to an outdoor Thai brunch today and we had mango with sticky rice, but it was so popular–they sold out! We were all sad because we wanted more.
I hope you enjoy your time with your sister.
sha, your earlier post of sticky rice and mangoes had me ordering some in the nearby thai restaurant…i didn’t have the time and inclination to make my own and it was the closest thing to our own “puto and mangga’ng hinog”. it was delicious but it wasn’t the same! and now you have these juicy, yummy mangoes as well. oh, you lucky, lucky girl! 🙂
Hi ! I hope you don’t mind I linked to this post from my blog. I loved your story and pictures of my favorite fruit in the world! 🙂
