If I heard correctly, almost all of #RFK's startup seed money for launching his campaign came from #Republicans in hopes that he'd siphon votes away from #Biden.
But instead, his #AntiVax lunacy and anti-Biden attacks are drawing more #Mango voters than Biden voters, so now they are attacking him.
Last night I learned that pistachios are related to mangos. On the tree they have a thin mango flavored fruit, and before roasting they taste like chickpeas.
Anyway, the seasonal pistachio loaf at Woodlawn Coffee is delicious!
Mango season is coming. Here's my short S Asian mango primer, and some ideas on where to buy them (I'm only focused on the ones you can buy outside S Asia, so if you're like 'the type that drops in my grandma's garden in the Konkan coast is the best', great, keep some for me)
A new study has found that it's key tropical crops like #coffee, #cocoa and #mango, that support millions of farmers in the Global South, that are most at risk from loss of #pollinators due to #climatechange and land use – read about it here:
Great read for those interested in South Indian condiments. Had no idea about the diversity & multiplicity of styles and processed of #Telugu#Avakaya, a type of #pickle made from raw #mango.
Second mangoes of the season: Banganapalli. These are my fave mango.
They’re larger than kesar, kind of stubby, not fibrous, very smooth. They don’t travel well.
Which is maybe why all my attempts at eating them outside of south India and Singapore (where we have same / next day air service for mango during mango season!).. have been disappointing. Still, I eat them to remember my wonderful times in south India. I miss Mustafa Centre, and buying ripe mangoes at 3am
