"You know, I love Philippine mangoes! We have them in Cuba and they taste sooo good. We call them Filipinos," said my Cuban classmate and new friend.
Really?, I said, and he was so enthusiastic in telling me all about it.
"The ripe ones, we open it up from the bottom by taking out a piece of the skin and then just peel it off. Then we take bites of the mango fruit. It's so yummy."
Later, he would look it up in his laptop and go to my workplace and show me --
"This is how they look like. I love them!"
Apparently, he was talking about our very sweet carabao mangoes. And because he was so happy about it, I shared with him my baon -- dried Philippine mangoes :)
