NW cherries vs FL mangoes....My verdict both are as good.
« on: July 20, 2020, 10:34:41 AM »
I will admit I am a cherry fanatic ever since George Washington chopped that cherry tree down. In my youth we had a neighbor. Her husband was a serious architect. They had a tart cheery tree, I gathered many of the cherries for....  my mother who baked pies from them. Go to Aldi and at $2.20/lb you can get nice black dead ripe cherriesfrom Washington State.  Like I did two days ago.These cherries transport here to South Florida better than any mango sent up there at 3.300 miles away. Check it out

I will never pay that per pound price for mangoes that are just as delicious. Got me own trees out back. I think I have a cherry vs pina colada mango mix this week/  I wuz robbed (lulz) of my last 6 Carries (very green and rock hard) by (he payed for this) by a Bangladeshi mango fanatic who has children who like... and according to him. And I have seen her. His wife teaches at the local Islamic school  Al Azar near McNab and University in Tamarac.

We picked up some of those cherries from Aldi.  They're pretty damn good.  But I still like mangos more!  Aldi sure helps us save money on groceries.  A great little store!

So did the Bangladeshi gentlemen steal your mangos, or did he pay for them?  I'm not clear on this.

He paid. I buy cherries every summer. The first cherries that are shipped out are under ripe. But they are at peak ripeness now. They are one fruit that ships so well and that ripe ones get to the stores. Contrasting with apples which are almost always under ripe.

I like Aldi's too!
