Mmm, Bobby Loves Mangos
I just ate the leftover mango bits from dinner the other night (If you missed that story, see Recipe - Brie & Mango Quesadillas).

The mangos we bought this weekend were fresh from Pakistan. It's funny, in a United States grocery store the sign would just say "Mangos". But in Dubai it says "Mangos from Pakistan". In fact, all of the produce has the country of origin prominently featured. I don't know if that's an additional selling point (are Pakistani mangos better than ... um, whoever else makes mangos' mangos?)

It's pretty cool, though. It's a veritable United Nations in the grocery store. Shopping kind of feels like going to Epcot. It's like ... um, okay, those are the only two jokes I could think of.

Anyway, if you see any fresh mangos from Pakistan next time you're at your local store, I suggest you pick a couple up.
