At last mango milkshakes!


I have been looking for Filipino mangoes. I can't buy it here in Holland. I think there is no market for these kinds of mangoes. Yesterday I was able to buy it in one of the food stalls at Spaarnwoude Park where The Philippine Independence was celebrated. I bought 4 mangoes. My gosh, imagine 1 mango was 2.50 euros and that is (let me see my currency converter how much is that)... that is 167.99 pesos, so 4 mangoes cost 671.94 pesos. In the Philippines 1 mango costs 11-15 pesos (=.16 euro cents). How cheap is it there! Since I crave it so much I ignore the price. I closed my eyes and handed 10 euros to the vendor. If I have to compare the prices then I will go home without mangoes. Me, my husband and my kids were craving for it. Right after supper, I got the blender put ice cubes, two mangoes, fresh milk, sugar...turn the blender on, and ta---da... mango milkshakes. I will make it again this evening since I still have 2 mangoes left. The next mango milkshakes maybe in the Phiilppines, I don't know when.
