I don't know if this qualifies as fun stuff, but to me it is kind of different. Carlos's mother brought me some mangoes this weekend and it is a variety that I've never seen here before.
Carlos says that they are very common in Nicaragua and it that they call them chancletas which means sandals or slippers. The big one weighs 12.5 Oz and the small one weighs 9 oz. They're not quite right but I'm anxious to try them because they smell so good. Almost like perfume.
I tried to look them up on Google and I was amazed at all the varieties of mango.
Costa Rica has a great many varieties but they aren't exported much because there is a worm that grows in the seed and a lot of countries won't accept mangoes from here.
