mmmmmangoes.....

A Hindu legend tells the story of the mango tree growing from the ashes of the
sun princess, who had been incinerated by an evil sorceress. The Emperor fell in
love with the mango flower and subsequently its fruit. When the mango ripened
and fell to the ground, the beautiful sun princess emerged. Thus, the mango has
become a symbol of love in India, and a basket of mangoes is considered a
gesture of friendship.

so....uhm...mangoes are dead sun princesses? and then some Emperor dude with a Tree fetish comes along and whispers sweet nothings into the mango tree blossoms until it bears fruit... i'm confused.

But damn are they exquisite! all messy and tasty and piney...
