These taste great

There’s something about the taste of straight-up mangoes that’s a wee bit unpleasant to me. So it’s not high on my fruit list. Yet when I saw these at the brand new Grocery Outlet in Blythe CA I was intrigued enough to buy them.

Oh wow, delicious! The chilies add zing without relegating the fruit to mere delivery device status. Lots of mango flavor (because dehydration concentrates the tasty bits) but none of whatever it was that turned me off.

Since the stock at Grocery Outlet is constantly changing, and since it’s different from store to store, I don’t know if I’ll ever see these again. Maybe I should go back and buy the rest of what they have. Because yum!

  1. OMG!!! Blythe has a new store!?!? I'd've never imagined anyone'd think there're (note use of "are" for plural instead of there's; it's a pet-peeve thang.) enough people to support a new market.

    As a burrito aficionado, you're likely familiar w La Paloma's. They were commended to me and though they were huge (it's been a few years) their tastelessness doesn't incline me to do more than alert u to their presence. They were a double handfull for, as i recall, $8.

    We await your opinion

    1. Yeah, so there's Albertson's, Smart and Final, and Grocery Outlet. They draw in the Quartzsite winter crowd, but the rest of the year? We'll see how long they last.

  3. If you buy 'em out I'll surmise they'd restock.

  4. Did an Amazon search for "dried chile Mango" and was amazed at how many products came up. Gotta be one in there for you.

    1. I'm weaning myself off Amazon. And I do most of my online ordering while I hang out in the Quartzsite/Yuma rather than when I'm on the road.
