The Tropical Fruit Forum

I just finished the last of my festival mangoes.  I didn't have a lot of hope for the Zillate, because I haven't had good luck in the past with the larger varieties, and the darned thing was still hard as a rock.  But I hadn't eaten a mango for about four whole hours and was starting to break out in a sweat, so Zillate met the knife, ready or not.  And, oh my goodness, I inadvertently saved the best for last.  What a lovely, lovely mango - no fiber and creamy and coconutty...so rich!  I savored every last bit and briefly regretted that I was unable to share it with friends (but only briefly).  As far as I'm concerned, the Zillate is now one of the four food groups.
