Remember my thread about The Mango Festival held in Bani...It's being held again this year from the 18-21st of this month. You should be able to eat all the mangoes you want if you visit.

They do look good, AZB.
Does that particular mango have a name, and how much do they cost?
They come in even bigger sizes but I chose some semi hard mangos so I could eat them 2 days later. The ready-to-eat mangos were huge. They are called banilejos (spelling?). They come from bani and considered very special kind in DR. I paid 100 pesos for 3 big monsters. they are full of pulp and the seed is small and flat-slim. The fruit mass is so much that I was only able to eat 1/2 of a mango and I was full. They are sugar sweet (not to mention-organic).

Look good. I myself am partial to the "gota de oro". Those yellow orangish ones that are hard to come by.
Mango fest here I come!
Chef Allen's Mango Martini
At Chef Allen's, July is Mango Madness month. We start by macerating hundreds of pounds of mangos in gallons of vodka, so we can put them up for the winter. We never want to let go of those bright, summer flavors. Use ripe mangos that have the sweet aroma of the tropics.
Serves 4
* Ice cubes
* 1 cup Mango Vodka (recipe follows)
* 2 twists of lime zest
Put the ice cubes in a shaker glass. Pour the vodka over the ice cubes and shake well. Strain into 2 well-chilled Martini glasses. Garnish each drink with a lime twist. Mango Vodka: Peel 3 ripe mangos, cut the flesh from the pit, and cut into large dice. Put the mangos in a clean 1 quart mason jar. Add 2 cups vodka and seal the jar. Let sit in a cool, dark place for 2 to 3 days before using. Store leftover vodka up to 5 days.
Makes 2 cups.
