Last summer I went to Thailand on my honeymoon. One of the highlights of the trip was tasting all of the different street foods in Bangkok and Chiang Mai. I will blog more about that later. But with the warm weather starting to hit NYC, I am beginning to crave summer fruits. But the one I crave the most is one you can not get here in NY. Mangosteens.
Mangosteens are a delicious tropical fruit. The outer shell is not edible but the flesh yields a wonderful, creamy, citrusy, melony, grape flavor. It was one of my favorite treats in Thailand and I miss it dearly. I ate it alone, and I even ate it in a tart that I found in a little bakeshop Ken and I stumbled upon in Koh Samui.
If you know where I can get a mangosteen, please let me know. Or if you go to Thailand, sneak one home in your luggage for me. Don't let customs see!
