I got 25 mangoes for $10 yesterday. I made 4 big jars of mango chutney last night (that's a few Christmass pressies sorted) and still got half the mangoes left.

*rubs hands waiting for them to get ripe*

I also got 3 big punnets of the nicest strawberries I've had for many years for $5. Was going to make a strawberry and chilli sauce but they were so nice fresh I couldn't bring myself to throw them in the saucepan.

if you're travelling to Melbourne along the M1 from Geelong, I suggest you stop off at the Caltex near the weribee exit sign (there will be a sign saying "garm fresh mangos at service station").

As the sign suggests, these are very fresh, soft and tasty mangos.

And cheap, which, in it's own weird way, makes them taste even better.
