Mangosteen season

Scott is in mourning because mango season is over. I share his pain and yet . . . mangosteen season just started!

My heart fills with joy:

ALL MINE.

Er, um, Scott can have one. If he’s good.

Must go. Have a whole bowl of mangosteens to gobble.

    OMG MANGOSTEEN. *jealous*

    Huh. *squints at photo* Is the mangosteen… blue? Usually mine are reddish-purple. (or maybe I’m just colourblind. T_T)

    Cutest. Fruit. Ever. (I’ve never seen one in person, but I am a little bit in love with Stash’s Mangosteen Green Tea. Which I might never have tried were it not for your posts about mangosteens!)

    MANGOSTEEN! I love them. Looking at these makes me wish there were fresh mangosteen in the US that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg.

    I’ve just looked these up on Wikipedia.
    I don’t know if we have these in the States, but I’ve made RHS promise to take me to Australia so that I can try them.

    My partner spent a year living in Malaysia as a child and he still talks in raptured tones about climbing trees to pick mangosteens. They seem to inspire a sort of devotion.

    I’ve never actually had a mango… I’ll have to try one, when they’re back in season of course! :)

    That looks like something Willy Wonka engineered from a blueberry and an artichoke.
