Mango memories of Montreal



We enjoyed a mango that was cut up in a similar way on one of the street markets in Montreal. I loved Montreal although our not knowing French was a disadvantage in every way. I do not remember the street name but it had foods of all ethnicities. A Latin American vendor cut up mangoes like this, sprinkling it with lemon, paprika and salt, and offering it to customers like an oversized flower. Since we went there two summers ago, whenever I buy mangoes, I try this at least once (not successfully every time). Try this paprika-lemon juice- salt treatment on cut up ripe mangoes. It is heavenly!

  1. Mango flower like a yellow rose, how beautiful.
    I sprinkle paprika etc.. on pineapple and on not so ripe mango, but never on ripe mango. It must be spicy yummy.
