No fruit is better than mangoes. I could live on them!

“No fruit is better than mangoes. I could live on them!”

I KNOW, I KNOW, I KNOW!!!! ME TOO!!!

I once said, and I hope I was joking, that I could kill for a mango.

But then, someone could pass a succulent ripe peach under my nose and that would be the end of the threat.

The peaches imported here are awful because they never fully ripen in spite of their yellow exterior.

I haven’t been to the U.S. in 5 years, but every time I would return to Panama I had ripe succulent peaches hiding all over the place. I would stuff my jacket with peaches in every pocket conceivable. I could hide at least half a dozen. I would than walk through customs with my jacket over my arm.

That would be impossible today because of drugs, and there is now more care than ever about checking everything.
