Letting an Alphonso go bad is a sin - whoever ate them saved you from that horrible burden. You should go thank her immediately! :)ShripriyaSat, 12 May 2007 13:40:12 -0000http://shripriya.com/blog/2007/05/09/heaven-is/#comment-3289983I want an Alphonso! But someone ate all the mangos in the fridge!Cranky DudeFri, 11 May 2007 09:39:45 -0000http://shripriya.com/blog/2007/05/09/heaven-is/#comment-3289982@ Amit - Good idea - should check. But we are the typical Manhattan couple - no car! But still, if the NJ stores have it, it might be worth renting one!<br><br>@ Rum and Coked - The mango is the reward for enduring the heat! <br><br>@ Indira - Ah, yes, the Himampasand comes in second for me. And the two slices and the middle was exactly how I consumed the Alphonsos!!<br><br>@ Tabula Rasa - Actually it says "Heaven is... at Almost As Good As Chocolate". I wish! Hilarious - thanks for pointing it out :D<br><br><br>@ Anand - Jackson Heights - great idea! After 12 years, I'm willing to pay for some Alphonso goodness!<br><br>@ Megha - I wish for you an Alphonso summer :)ShripriyaThu, 10 May 2007 01:17:17 -0000http://shripriya.com/blog/2007/05/09/heaven-is/#comment-3289984I want one! I hope the Indian stores near my house stock up soon. Bah!meghaWed, 09 May 2007 17:41:30 -0000http://shripriya.com/blog/2007/05/09/heaven-is/#comment-3289990I think by now Indian stores in Jackson Heights would have stocked up. My local Patel brothers told me that it is a costly transaction (seems they have to pay a large deposit for the order). End result, Indian mango's @ a costly price ;-) for the consumers.AnandWed, 09 May 2007 09:46:08 -0000http://shripriya.com/blog/2007/05/09/heaven-is/#comment-3289989kind of ironic that at first sight the title of this post at the top of the screeen reads "heaven is... almost as good as chocolate" :-Dtabula rasaWed, 09 May 2007 07:03:57 -0000http://shripriya.com/blog/2007/05/09/heaven-is/#comment-3289987my personal favorite is the himampasand (sp?). and not all neat and cut up into little bits, but just sliced into 2 sides and the middle, where you actually get messy and eat the stuff right off the skin. Mmmmm good stuff!!indiraWed, 09 May 2007 04:25:14 -0000http://shripriya.com/blog/2007/05/09/heaven-is/#comment-3289988I soooo miss mangoes... after having left India, I've never had a decent mango.. seriously, who would've thought I'd miss Indian summers?Rum And CokedWed, 09 May 2007 04:04:13 -0000http://shripriya.com/blog/2007/05/09/heaven-is/#comment-3289985Won't you find them at the Patel stores in NJ ?labnolWed, 09 May 2007 02:03:14 -0000
